Excellent Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I have to say, I am very surprised by the other reviews. This was the first Westlake book I read and it opened the world of Westlake to me. I read this book in high school and LOVED IT! I've been looking for a copy to read again as an adult because I still love books that switch narrators and show multiple points of view for plot points. The interactions of the characters is great. Definitely recommend.
The funniest damn Westlake book there is.

A scheme to transport millions in jewels in hollow blocks of a castle that is being shipped piece by piece from its native home in Eastern Europe to its disassembled resting place in Paris produces one of the funniest, cleverest Westlake books ever. The band of thieves who set out to steal the jewels don't share the same language(s) or style(s). It's unfortunate that the publisher didn't push this one harder. Pure joy. If you can find it.
