A little bit of humor goes a long way, whereas too much can be overwhelming. I felt this way about this book. As Toby, Gunther and W.C. Fields race from town to town trying to get ahead of the guy stealing money from Field's various bank accounts, the same semi-humorous scenario was acted out time and again. Too much, I thought. So I put the book down and did something else.

Later, I picked the book up, read the next chapter and everything changed. All of a sudden the thin plot became layers of mysteries, one upon another. It was Kaminsky at his best again. Finally, the ending was very good for Toby, his brother, Anita, W.C., and even Mrs. Plaut, but not for Shelly though.
