Review: OLD DOGS by Donna Moore

            

I really enjoyed Donna Moore's first novel, GO TO HELENA HANDBASKET, so had high hopes for OLD DOGS. My expectations were more than met.

The basic premise of the novel involves two elderly ex-hookers turned con artists who are planning to steal a  pair of golden, jewel-encrusted Shih Tzu dog statuettes from a Glasgow museum. They aren't, however, the only ones with that prize within their sights. Cue the entrance of a variety of odd &  quirky characters who each have their own reasons for wanting to get their hands on the dogs.  Hilarity (and I don't use that word lightly) ensues.

Donna Moore is a master at creating colourful characters and putting them into laugh out loud situations.  Combine that with strong dialogue and tight pacing, and you've got yourself a brilliant book well worth the read.
