About this product
Product Information
In Donald E. Westlake's classic caper novels, the bad get better, the good slide a bit, and Lord help anyone caught between a thief named John Dortmunder and the current object of his attention. However, being caught red-handed is inevitable in Dortmunder's next production, when a TV producer convinces this thief and his merry gang to do a reality show that captures their next score. The producer guarantees to find a way to keep the show from being used in evidence against them. They're dubious, but the pay is good, so they take him up on his offer. A mock-up of the OJ bar is built in a warehouse down on Varick Street. The ground floor of that building is a big open space jumbled with vehicles used in TV world, everything from a news truck and a fire engine to a hansom cab (without the horse). As the gang plans their next move with the cameras rolling, Dortmunder and Kelp sneak onto the roof of their new studio to organize a private enterprise. It will take an ingenious plan to outwit viewers glued to their television sets, but Dortmunder is nothing if not persistent, and he's determined to end this shoot with money in his pockets.

Reviews
Westlake again delivers a breezily fun tale of good-natured criminality in his deceptively simple style., On WHAT'S SO FUNNY?: "WHAT'S SO FUNNY? may be the best Dortmunder yarn yet. The hilarious scam he and his partners pull on an armored car crew is not to be missed.", Starred Review. Westlake's final Dortmunder novel is a winning send-up of our current fascination with reality TV. When Dortmunder and his associatesokay, his criminal gangare offered a role on a reality show dramatizing their exploits, they initially think it's a terrible idea. However, they soon see it as an opportunity to aid in their usual criminal pursuits. While the producers of their show believe that the group is staging a small-time robbery, they're actually working on a way to find what they believe is a large amount of money being housed by the production company. What's not expected is that they begin to enjoy their TV careers, an outcome that contributes a couple of laugh-out-loud scenes. Dortmunder, Andy Kelp, Stan Murch, and the other members of their inner circle are perfectly drawn, and their interactions make for excellent comedy. Westlake, who died last New Year's Eve, will be sorely missed, but he has left a fine last work that will add to his legacy. Highly recommended.Craig Shufelt, Fort McMurray P.L., AB Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved., Westlake gets the last laugh in his comic mystery WHAT'S SO FUNNY?, with a comic ending so laden with irony it almost has you thinking that crime doesn't pay. But of course it does pay in those laughs that land on every page., Westlake is a national literary treasure, and his latest effort only enhances his value. Neocon pundit William Kristol recently wrote that Westlake deserves the Nobel Prize for Literature. The neocons haven't been right about much lately, but Kristol just may be on to something this time.
