Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-28 00:00:00 Jeffrey Craig From the back cover: La Contessa Letitzia di Ponzo and her sister Signora Teodora Grisiola are not who they might seem. Now in their seventies, they're actually Letty and Dora, a pair of ex-hookers turned con-artists who've decided to steal a pair of gold, jewel-0encrusted Tibetan shih tzu dog statuettes from a Glasgow museum. Unfortunately, it seems everyone wants to get their hands on the expensive pooches. My reactions I was immediately reminded of Donald E Westlake's crime capers, or the crazy, convoluted plot elements of the best Carl Hiaasen novels. The characters and plot elements are ridiculous, but that's what makes it so much fun to read. I was constantly wondering what on earth Moore would come up with next. This is not great literature. It isn't even a good mystery. But it IS a fast, entertaining read.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-25 00:00:00 Joseph Wolf The jokes abound in this comedy caper. 3 old ex-hookers scamming their way through Glasgow and it's castles. Just a lighthearted read. Parts maybe too silly. Full of Glaswegian slang. Along the lines of the "Lavender Hill Mob" .
