THE SCORE by Donald Westlake
The Story: Parker is invited to head a gang planning to rob a whole town. Twenty-five to 30 men are in the gang.
Its torture by boredom, comparable to reading the Bible till dawn. All of Westlakes books are formulaic (he started as a porn writer) but Parker is an exciting character and the series is generally worth the candle. Not this time. Its about as exciting as taking inventory and supervising daycare kids. Its too much nothing happening.
That said, I harvested one awesome Loving Wives scene guaranteed to make readers howl.
