It was supposed to be a simple caviar heist. Dortmunder is almost in the building when the alarm sounds, forcing him up the fire escape and onto the roof. He leaps onto the next building, smashing his ankle and landing in the den of the worst kind of creature he can imagine: nuns.

Although decades removed from his Catholic orphanage, Dortmunder still trembles before the sisters’ habits. But these nuns are kinder than the ones he grew up with. They bandage his wound, let him rest, and don’t call the cops - for a price. The father of the youngest member of their order, disgusted by their vow of silence, has kidnapped his daughter, locked her in a tightly guarded penthouse apartment, and is attempting to convince her to renounce her faith. The nuns ask Dortmunder to rescue the girl. It’s an impossible assignment - but one he cannot refuse.

Sometimes you need a book that isn't dark, depressing or disturbing. This book is just such a book. It is "clean" -- limited curse words without violence .

Good clean fun!

Any additional comments?

After a couple of Dortmunder books that were good but not great, this one was a real return to form. Dortmunder must pull off a job at the behest of some nuns. Yep, you heard me right. With a hysterical premise in hand, Westlake rounds up the gang and goes to work. There was a twist in the middle I didn't see coming AT ALL and I was seriously on edge at the end hoping that nothing else would go wrong. A wonderful bit of escapism.

A.k.a "the one with the nuns"

Thrilling, clever, and hilarious. The books in the Dortmunder series are some of my absolute favorites.

Great performance of a great Dortmunder story

Funny, fast paced, politically incorrect, interesting, cute characters, nice twist, escapist, better than the current crop of this genre's proponents.

Enjoy - it's Donald E Westlake

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it's a truly fun listen. Definitely one full day of pleasure. So much more humor in this one, not to mention a good story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Good Behavior?

The nun choir scene. I know it's been done before but it never seizes to amaze me how hysterical that scene was to me. The reader did a good job helping to visualize it.

What does Brian Holsopple bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He found his pace in this one. So, so much better than the previous one. I wish he could do it over with this enthusiasm and control of the characters.

Plot twists. Character development. Just an enjoyable Dortmunder caper. Savor the treasures that Donald has left us.

Outstanding.

one of his best with the customary mix of oddballs, slightly bad participants and nuns to boot.
