THE HOT ROCK (Donald E. Westlake) - January 25/20

Enjoyed this one quite a bit. It's got a few sluggish stretches, but Westlake does a superb job of establishing the characters and keeping the tone light (yet suspenseful in parts). I even laughed out loud once or twice, especially during Dortmunder's airplane hijacking getaway. Good stuff. ***1/2 out of ****
