Summary: Interesting
Comment: This is my first Thomas Perry novel and I really enjoyed it, but to think that the mob would trust one man, or one man's memory, to control all of their money is stretching it a little too much. I would like to read all of the prior Jane Whitefield novels to get to know her a little more (why she does this, where she and her husband met, etc.). Near the end, I just wanted the book to end - the last leg of their trip seemed to go on forever. I will read more of Thomas Perry's books.

Summary: Jane Whitefield Strikes Again
Comment: Jane Whitefield, the last hope of persons on the run, has promised herself to remain home as a housewife to her doctor husband, but gets caught up in another hide-the-person-on-the-run situation. The title of the book refers to an awful lot of the Mafia's money which Jane must help dipose of while helping a septugenarian and a teenager elude a manhunt consisting of almost everyone in the USA with an Italian surname. Although some of the plot points are a little hard to believe, e.g., a nation of Mafia families working as efficiently as the FBI to find Jane and her runners, and Jane's almost unlimited reserve of financial resources, Perry keeps the reader's interest as Jane and company race around country trying to turn dirty money into clean charitable donations.

Summary: Imaginative story overcomes flaws
Comment: Thomas Perry is a very imaginative writer. The character, indeed the whole concept of a guide who helps people hide is unique and therefore interesting to one who spends a lot of time reading suspense and mystery novels. My only complaint is that Jane is too good - the reader never doubts that she will get out of any jam, so the suspense is somewhat deflated. But the writing and the story more than make up for this.
As far as the presentation of the Mafia as a powerful, efficient machine, well, just suspend your disbelief and you'll do fine. It's certainly more interesting than the myth of the invincible US military we are subjected to in countless boring novels.
I'm looking for more Thomas Perry right now...
