Modesty Blaise is a quick, enjoyable thriller that is basically pure escapist hokum. Full of impossible escapes and 60's chic, this is the female equivalent of James Bond, only much better written and with a criminal past. Modesty and her trusty sidekick, Willie Garvin, must track down the mysterious master criminal Gabriel, who plans to steal a huge shipment of diamonds. The action moves along quite nicely and the relationship between Modesty and Garvin is nicely done. An easy, fun read.
