      Good dortmunder book. Plot was hard to follow. Just as it always is with him
    • 4/5
      Dortmunder, while running from the police after a botched robbery, falls into a convent nuns, all of whom have taken a vow of silence! In exchange for the nuns silence with the police, John agrees to rescue a nun who has been kidnapped by her wealthy father in his attempt to get her to leave the convent. And at the same time, he and his 'gang' are going to rob many of the business in the building she is being held captive! What could go wrong?Another fun book from the Dortmunder series, with a few new characters to spice things up! I liked this one quite a bit, and enjoyed the way some of the plot details are wrapped up in letter form in Chapter 50! A nice ending for John and May too! Well deserved!

      Dortmunder and his gang get in over their head again, this time involving a convent full of nuns on a vow of silence. Dortmunder was raised by nuns but these ones are the friendly kind and so he is inclined to help them. Not particularly memorable by Dortmunder standards but an amusing enough crime caper if you have time that needs passing.

      I’m a huge fan of Westlake’s books featuring hapless burglar John Dortmunder, but this one is special. Thieves, nuns (silent nuns, no less), a Trump-esque evil businessman, a cult deprogrammer, and a private army of mercenaries combine with an insane plot to rescue a kidnapped novice nun to make one of the funniest books I’ve ever read.

      Dortmunder does it again! Good addition to Westlake's Dortmunder series of crime caper novels. Quick and enjoyable read.
