I've never read Lawrence Sanders, and based on the little bit that was on the back of the book I was expecting a more serious whodunit. What I got instead was funny and lighthearted and, most surprising, featured an interesting and endearing female lead character. I hope he's written more books with Mary Lou Bateson in them, because I really liked her and related to her right away. I didn't completely agree with the decision she makes at the end of the book, but I sort of understand it.
For those of us who have enjoyed Mr. Sanders' more upbeat offerings this is fairly tame material despite Dunk Bateson's estimable presence. Appartient à la sérieDistinctions
"Thou shalt not steal is indeed the moral in this light-as-a-bubble comic caper" by the #1 New York Times-bestselling author (People). Appraising rare coins for Grandby & Sons, a venerable Madison Avenue auction house, is a dream come true for Mary Lou Bateson. She even gets a chance to inspect the Havistock Collection of priceless coins, which includes the Demaretion, a rare, ancient Greek silver piece. But when the Demaretion disappears just after her assessment, the young numismatist becomes the number-one suspect. Placed on indefinite leave, Bateson enlists the help of a New York Police Department cop and an insurance detective to go behind the closed doors of one of New York's most powerful and untouchable families. The Havistocks are keeping some dangerous secrets, including a kleptomaniac daughter, a sex-addicted daughter-in-law, and a sleazy nest of adultery, pornography, and damning secrets someone is willing to kill to keep.
