Great detailed review. I have this on my TBR and I'm inspired even more to read it now. It sounds quite different than a run of the mill mystery and I can't wait to see what I make of it.

Thanks for the great review. It doesn't sound like something I would read but then again I surprise myself sometimes and might find me reading it after all.

Good review. It convinced me that you can't judge a book by its title as well as judging its cover. Thanks for giving the low down.

Thanks for the review. I like the fact that you looked into the heists in the book. I really enjoy it when authors can write about crimes that were publicized and have them as accurate portrayals.

"Although a work of fiction, this book was inspired by actual high-profile crimes that took place in the 1970s and 80s."

Wow. I gotta read this! Thanks for the awesome review! :)

Terrific review! This book definitely sounds like a boom that I need to read. I love true crime, and even though this is fiction, the way that you've described it being inspired by true crimes, add in the mystery, and intrigue and top it off with a psychological driving force. I can't think of a book that I'd like to read more right now. Thank you so much for sharing!
