I, like many others, was conflicted over Alexis’ previous book 15 Dogs, despite all the awards. In contrast, this new book is a delight – a mystery and a heist caper. The characters are a treasure, each vivid and unique. And like De Wit’s Sisters Brothers, there is some philosophizing over good and evil, so overall, a very entertaining book.
I think this is a terrific book. I enjoyed 15 dogs, but in my view this is even better. The character development and the considerations of what motivates other people and what is good and what is evil is finely drawn.
