A good one for beginners could be 'The Big Sleep' also by Raymond Chandler. It has a great noir - ish atmosphere which is common in caper novels. The plot is complex enough to be interesting but not overly complicated for those new to the genre. There are many characters with their own motives and secrets, which adds to the allure of the story.

I'd recommend 'The Lady in the Lake' by Raymond Chandler. It has elements of a caper novel with a detective trying to solve a mystery that involves some devious characters and a lot of unexpected plot developments.

You might like 'The Maltese Falcon' by Dashiell Hammett. It's a classic that has many of the elements that define a caper novel. There's a search for a valuable item, in this case the Maltese Falcon, and a cast of characters who are all trying to get their hands on it through various means, some more devious than others. The writing is sharp and the story is full of intrigue.

Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!
