Unless you did and it's only the audiobook that's new to you.

It occurs to me that you may be thinking of Luck in the Shadows. Similar kind of themes, with thievery and chicanery, and also a series of books.

I enjoyed the first of that series, but fell off halfway through the second. Seemed a bit one paced after a while, and a little too light.

The Gentlemen Bastards series has held me completely. I'm halfway through book 3 now and wishing that the fourth was out already!

Much more depth to it and a lot more of a mix of dark and light. Laugh out loud funny in places, but has also had me in tears a few times. Ya know, the kind of fantasy story that gets properly under your skin. The names of places and peoples have as much resonance as real world places and peoples, because the cultures are so well drawn. And I can't remember the last time I fell so in love with a cast of characters.
