While Chaudhuri's lyrical, descriptive passages are a refreshing change from the ready-made, movie script-like popular fiction of Elmore Leonard or Sidney Sheldon, he overstays his welcome by dragging out this style for over 400 pages. The reader becomes bewildered by the barrage of foreign names of the characters, especially in the last story where relationships amongst them are never clearly explicated. Even more puzzling is the reason for stringing the three novels in one giant volume in the first place.

The two seniors create a varied cast of stereotyped characters, from the Italian-American barber/womanizer, Donatello Mywife (Michael Roiff), to the not-so-innocent Washington intern, Stella Virgin (Robert Schlesinger); and the script and lyrics they cowrote are often very clever. On the whole, the show never loses a beat...
