Query: a good read

I enjoyed this novella and found it to be the easiest to read of Bellow's works. I loved the moral dilemma the protagonist faces at the end of the book when the stolen ring is less than "stolen". Some of the other people who wrote reviews said it was slow going, but in some way it's just a slow buildup of the elements and tension in a whodunit where you really have to get a good idea of what the people in the story are like before you can fully appreciate what the event really means in the characters' lives.It reads very quickly and leaves you amused at the antics of these sophisticated (but maybe not so very sophisticated) Gothamites.
