This is a story about a bank robbery that never happened and the hostages caught up in the mayhem that ensues when the bank robber disappears and bumbling local detectives try to solve the case.
The cast of complicated characters was wonderful and I loved how we learned about their true selves as the story went on.
I wasn't a fan of the police interviews, I found them incredibly frustrating and repetitive to read although they may have been more enjoyable on audio.
I loved this book and the dark comedy throughout the story. It took me from laughter to tears and back again.
