Molly Miranda: Thief for Hire (Book 1) Action Adventure Comedy Kindle Edition

Molly Miranda makes very good money doing very bad things.

(I only steal stuff from rich people. Mostly. Calm down.)

Jewels, art, historical artifacts—nothing is safe when this professional thief is on the job.

(That makes it sound so sinister.)

Lying to everyone you love is second nature when you work in that particular industry. The truth, however, becomes a little harder to hide when she falls into bed with her roommate/crush.

Avoiding dealing with the unpleasantness of feelings, Molly takes an assignment in Scotland and is paired up with an untrustworthy wildcard. It doesn’t help that her new partner-in-crime is super annoying. And devastatingly handsome…

(Are you suggesting there’s something between me and him? hahahahaha No. Just no.)

When a mission doesn’t go according to plan, she wonders if it’s time to hang up her burglar mask for good and try having a normal life with a normal job. And a lot less trespassing.

(Snore. Borrrring.)

Join Molly on her hilarious adventures as she dodges bullets, wears disguises, and steals her way into trouble.


Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series or comedies by Meg Cabot.

Shortlisted for the 2016 Prince Edward Island Book Award.

Make sure to check out Molly Miranda: Thick as Thieves and Molly Miranda: Honor Among Thieves next!

This book contains adult language, violence and sexual themes.



Praise for Molly Miranda
“How much fun is this? I’m loving the debut from Hamilton—now I need more about her sassy, sometimes awkward and always brave heroine, Molly Miranda. Stealing other people’s stuff has never been so charming. Bravo!” - Patti Larsen, award-winning author of the Hayle Coven series

"It's tense and smart-alecky. It's likeable without being sweet. It's sexy and tough, and as apt to kick you in the pants as to kiss you on the cheek." - Award-winning author Leo McKay Jr.

"Molly Miranda is a fun read with some good messages of self awareness and identity laced through the humour and suspense." - Author Natalie Corbett Sampson

"It's tense and smart-alecky. It's likeable without being sweet. It's sexy and tough, and as apt to kick you in the pants as to kiss you on the cheek."- Author Leo McKay Jr.
"I absolutely adored Molly Miranda... Hamilton handles the story with a deft touch, balancing action, laugh-out-loud zingers and romance with zippy pacing and a character you can really root for. This series makes me want to quit my day job and become a cat burglar with a condo on Central Park West and a passport full of cool stamps. I seriously can't wait for the next one."- Author Kat Ross
"Molly Miranda is a fun read with some good messages of self awareness and identity laced through the humour and suspense."- Author Natalie Corbett Sampson
"I enjoy a bad ass female character. I'm tired of girls in books getting saved by guys. Molly Miranda can take care of herself but that's just one reason I like the book."- Book Drunkard

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and fun!
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

Welcome to the world of professional thief Molly Miranda a.k.a. Betty Bruce. Only Betty doesn't steal things, she acquires them. Doesn't that sound better? Whatever you call it, there is big money to be made, and Molly likes the thrill. Besides she is darn good at her job. All of a sudden her boss pairs her up with a man for a job overseas. He picks her out of the crowd easily, knows everything about her, and is thoroughly irritating. Fortunately he is good at his job and knows how to hack into security systems, etc. Job well done, or so she thinks until she gets a blackmail demand or her share of the money from the job---a half of million dollars!

Ms Hamilton has done a wonderful job of casting Molly's life with supporting characters both likeable and not. One of which is her roommate Nate, another is her boss. The trips to foreign locals are sprinkled with descriptions that make you feel like you are on the job with Molly.

I was thrilled to see other books in the series have been completed, and as soon as I finished this book I went on to the next. A fun book that alludes to sex but is not graphic, glamorizes thievery, and is exciting to the very end!

A fun, quick read that had me quite amused. only reason to lower one star was the use of the f-bomb. It’s not a word I like or feel needs to be included in any writing. Other than that, I liked the snarkiness and plot twists. Lots of fun. Would read more by this author.

This was a nice change of pace. The women in the story weren’t all beautiful, nice, boring same as always. I have come to despise all the books where the female is full of doubt and low self esteem because she’s been dumped. Ugh. I like that Molly is self sufficient and in the end doesn’t change to make somebody else happy.

3.0 out of 5 stars something different
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019

This story provides entertainment for those times when you want something a bit different, on the lighter side. While not quite comedic, it defintely is not intense or deep reading. Sometimes it is fun to read a book that isn't full of heavy drama and twisting plots. I may, or may not, read the continuing series, but I enjoyed this book. I appreciated the uniqueness of casting the main character as a thief. It shows some creativity. The book was free. Thanks to the author for providing entertainment for a stormy night.

I got this book for free after seeing it on a free book alert. The concept seemed like it would be entertaining so I decided to try it. I was not familiar with the author or the series. The book was a quick and fun read. Molly is a professional thief and she has several capers that make her want to try living a normal life. Ultimately, she cannot deny her calling to professional thievery and so the series is born. I would recommend to other readers who like strong, snarky and competent female leads. I personally am not a fan of reading further into a series past book 1 but I can see why people would continue in the series to figure out what Molly Miranda gets herself into next.

All people live with the decisions that they make in their lives. Molly Miranda, thief, lives a life of her own choosing. She's a thief with boundaries. She goes thru ups and downs, good and bad choices, and hopes and regrets. Jillian Hamilton uses humor in dialogue and development of characters to enhance the pleasure of reading. I will read more of Jillian Hamilton.

Molly Miranda is her real name. But for overseas travel it's Betty Bruce. She has used two middlmen / 1woman, Paul & Audrey. Her best friend is wild & crazy Ruby. She lives in skyscraper very expensive apartment she bought in NYC. She allows a roommate to move in, Nate who's a want to be cartoonist, waiter. He thinks her parent's bought the place for her. They have a ski lodge in Vermont...not. Her Dad is also a retired thief living in Florida.
There is so much action, laughs & dangerous situations to tell about. The different disguises used are something else. And possible romance. Read and follow the life of a hired thief. Very good read.

I saw this book in the bookbub newsletter for free and it sounded fun so I grabbed it. Well, I was hooked to the point I now have the other 2 in the series.

It is an engaging well-paced read that you will enjoy from start to end, there is some suspense, some edge of your seat action and some downright funny moments. I am currently in hospital with a broken ankle and this helped me lose track of time for a morning to the point I was sad I finished it so fast

I downloaded this to my kindle as it was a free book that attracted my eye. I like to try out authors I haven't read before this way and have had some really good books.
I didn't expect to like this one - a story with a professional thief as its heroine didn't seem to be my thing and yet there was something in the read up that made me give it a go. I'm glad I did as I enjoyed it so much I bought the second in the series immediately and do hope there will be a third.
There is a gentle humour to the book, plenty of action and I have to say I like Molly, despite her career choice. Well written.

I downloaded this book a very long time ago and tried and failed to read it several times, eventually I decided to give it one more chance and to persevere for more than a few pages and if it didn't work for me to delete it.

It worked
