Reviews

[Stephen Theaker · Rating 4 out of 5]

A final volume for the pair of criminals, who never quite seem to achieve the Better Living Through Crime that the subtitle promises. This one's not so much about the crimes, though as usual they commit plenty, with double-crosses and bonus crimes for people they don't like, and more about Slim getting sick with tubercolosis. Miss needs a big score to pay for the treatments. It looks as good as the three previous books, and even if they are a pair of irredeemable villains it's nice to see how their relationship develops.

A fitting end to the series

Das Ende, das die Reihe verdient hat, insgesamt eine lohnende Lektüre, hart, aber doch auch rührend.

Not particularly fond of the artwork, but it is a good crime story.
