A review by tshrope
Old Dogs by Donna Moore
4.0
I can’t believe this book has only 15 ratings-it is such a fun book I’m surprised more people haven’t read it.
Donna Moore won the Lefty award (most humorous crime/mystery book) for Go to Helena Hand basket and she should have won it for this book too!
This is a caper that truly lives up to the meaning of the word caper; a frivolous escapade or prank. In this mad-cap caper two 70-something, former prostitutes, come up with a plan to heist a pair of golden dogs from an exhibit at the Glasgow Museum. But they are not the only ones who come up with this same plan-throw in a pair of Dumb and Dumber ex-cons who work at a crematorium, the ex-girlfriend of the museum director, a novice Tibetan monk and a hit-man, and let the hijinks begin.
I don’t say this often, but I actually laughed out loud in parts of this book, and even had to read some of the dialog to my husband.
Moore is witty, clever, and sailors must envy her creative swearing ability. This book is a hoot and I recommend it to anyone looking for a well written, hilarious escape!
