It's been a while since I read a Dortmunder book and after reading Watch Your Back, I realize I need to start reading more Westlake, or re-reading, since over the years I've forgotten the plot to a lot of books. Anyway, outstanding characters and story and the writing doesn't get in the way (the mark of a good storyteller)

This begins right where the previous book ended, with Parker on the run from the cops after the armored car robbery. And to blend in, he ends up joining a group of citizens combing the surrounding countryside - looking for him! (and the other two robbers). And, while on the run from the last job, he decides to take on a new job - robbing a racetrack! It's a good story, and interesting in that Parker teams up with a total amateur to pull of this job! Sort of a new twist for him! It's also part two of a three part story arc, so the next book will let us know how it all plays out!

Unfortunately, it is my last read in this series, which is a total bummer. Maybe in a few years I'll revisit the collection, and this time read them in order! I'll miss ya' Parker!

Funny thing about the title - the parrot doesn’t talk! So, um, don't do what the title of the book tells you to do.

The heist in this one is a bank/four armored car job. That gets complicated by a card game at the beginning!

Chapter 1 of part Four is a doozy! Stark intricately weaves all the different plot lines together from all the different characters points of view! Riveting reading! And then - a cliffhanger ending? I really hate those! Especially when it is not 'listed' as such! Apparently, from this book until the end is a trilogy, which is fine. I just didn't like getting to the end of this one and having this unexpected ending. I'm not certain, but I don't think that has happened in this series before. Still, it's a Parker novel, so I'll get over it!… (meer)
