"Westlake is a card with characters, and he flashes that talent to tenific effect here."
-Marilyn Stasio, New York Tunes Book Review


"Intricately plotted. . . . Its crisp writing keeps you moving. . . . A delightful addition to the long-running Dortmunder saga."
-USA Today

"A classic Dortmunder! . . . The latest and perhaps funniest comic novel featuring criminal John Dortmunder."
-New York Post

"Hilarious; . . .When's the last time you read a book that made you laugh on every page? H there's a more wryly convoluted mind out there than Westlake's, it has yet to show itseJf, and it does make the five-year wait between Dortmunder's lunatic capers seem excruciatingly long. . . . The best workout your sense of humor will get this millennium."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
