A mixed bag @ best. Dortmunder is better served by the longer novel form. Although the story "Party Animal" is classic Dortmunder and almost worth the price of the book.

There are 11 stories in this Dortmunder Dozen and the last one, Fugue for Felons, doesn't have Dortmunder or any of his pals. A collection published based on the popularity of the author/character and not the writing or stories themselves. (

Some fun Dortmunder and one almost Dortmunder. A very good read.
