300 pages in, I just decided this isn't worth continuing. It's not interesting enough to be any fun, and it's not well-written enough to excuse that.
The best Jane Whitefield books are the ones with a great villain (see books 2 and 3). The villain in this one, however, is pretty much a dud.
This is the worst Dortmunder I've read so far. It's not bad, per se, but not as satisfying as the others. The fun part of the premise is to have Dortmunder and crew working as employees on the estate, but that doesn't happen until about 60% in.
