Single Sentence Review: While the beginning of the novel lagged a bit, the variety of strong personalities (and their quirks) as well as the unpredictable twists and turns made the not-a-bank-robbery mystery enjoyable and funny–I also appreciated how the reflections on loneliness and the emphasis on forgiveness made the book such a heartwarming read.
