WHEN IN GREECE

Summary: John Putnam Thatcher is a winner
Review: Emma Lathen has produced a wonderful lead character in John Putnam Thatcher. Although often swept into areas far outside his field of expertise, he brings his incisive mind to problems of all types. Mr. Thatcher, along with his many friends and associates, always follow the money - and the killer. Highly recommended if you enjoy a tightly crafted mystery.

Summary: FANTASTIC! One of the few mysteries I read over and over
Review: I'm a huge fan of Emma Lathen, and this is probably my favorite book of all. Like all of her books, it is very witty (in some places, downright hilarious), and thoroughly enjoyable. The series features Wall Street bank executive John Putnam Thatcher and his colleagues -- and Wall Street banking was never that interesting when I worked there. Although I usually give away mysteries after reading them, this is one of only two series I keep and reread. I never tire of them.
