Like Cream Brule for the mind

This a trifle of a caper yarn that I have reread five or six times. Reminds one of Wodehouse except the characters all have brains. A Fairfield Cty resident has a cash flow problem. He decides to rob a bank. He recruits associates from those behind on their country club tabs and so on.

A great yarn, easy to read.

The Nixon Recession Caper involves four couples impacted by the Nixon Recession. They belong to an exclusive country club. One member decides that the only solution is to rob a bank. Can he convince three other club members to join his gang? Will the wives find out? What happens then? What happens when the banker calls on a club member? A very clever yarn that is complete with logic, planning, action, sex and other misadventures. Many plot curves occur at the end, which are fun and make sense. An easy read which is hard to put down. OK, these were all clichés but valid clichés.
