E. V. Cunningham: Penelope
By hanne on Oct 7, 2010 | In Crime
I have finished quite a few books recently but haven't been in the mood for posting. However, this book needs telling about it ![]()
Last weekend my mother came by and left some old books behind for me to have, and this one I happened to catch my attention.
I started in last night on the train home and finished it today. It is not a detective story as such, but it is about a bank robbery, so I'll call it a crime story.
The plot is a woman robbing her husband's bank, and getting away with it by wrapping a lot of men around her little finger in a rather unrealistic way. But it is a funny charming little book. The main person is quite something. Definitely worth the 2 or 3 hours I spend reading it.
