Cargando... Thieves' Dozen (2005)por Donald E. Westlake
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. I didn't realize this was a collection of short stories until about three short stories in! Before that I was very confused. But it turns out that short stories are the right length for Dortmunder; he's sorta fun, but quickly loses his welcome --- so lots of short little scenarios are the perfect medium. Some of these are quite good, others are not. All in all it's not an amazing read, but if you're in it this deep, you might as well. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

A collection of Dortmunder short stories! (Well, one is a John Rumsey story…). What a treat!
Loved the first 2 pages of the introduction, especially the comment about Redford! Made me chuckle. As does the title of the book, in regards to how many stories are included! Very witty!
The beauty of these stories, and really all things Dortmunder, are his terrible, and often hilarious, bad luck. Like breaking the back wall into a bank vault to find that it’s full of hostages because the bank is being robbed from the front! This book is full of his 'tough luck'!
I do have one question though, is Diddums actually Welsh? (
