I thought the first half of the book was a bit of a slog: exhaustive details, but the second half was a blazing prairie fire! Liz Taylor's Cleopatra has been erased from my mind forever!

Great fun as I followed Martin in his career as neurotic thief. Breaking into homes and stealing just what is on his "list"; things that will never be missed. Then he starts breaking his own rules, and danger and excitement ensue. A terrific page turner.
