Total timepass but very readable. Not as good as not a penny more or even matter or honour for that matter, maybe because some of the moves here are rehashed versions from those books.
The plot – a banker, earmarks paintings he wants (obviously of the masters only), gets the owners to take loans that are iffy, then kills them to take the paintings. His new assistant is honest and not party to his plans and hence spoils the party.
9/11 is totally incidental..everybody could have thought the protagonist died in train crash when she on her way to drop of a cute babe and hence escaped death though her bogie and the restaurant car are totally smashed, just as well.
not for purists or even those wanting to use their brains to figure it out. IQ of 50 more than enough
