I was not aware in the beginning that while indicated that the following is hidden I don't think it really is.
I do a review for myself, especially in a first installment, so that I can go back and review as I continue with the series.
This is a charming debut of the series about Johann Friedrich von Allmen. Having depleted his enormous inheritance, Allmen is deeply in debt Though debt and how one handles it is all about rep I apologize to any reader of this who is disappointed at the spoilers.
Having depleted his enormous inheritance, Allmen is deeply in debt Though debt and how one handles it is all about reputation and standing, and is not only tolerated, but encouraged, at least in his mind.
He spends his time living like he has money, and distaining those who actually have to work.
He reads ecclectically and constantly. He takes himself off to the Cafe Viennois. One evening, Joelle Hirt is given a ticket to the opera, by Allmen's friend Serge Lauber, who bought the second seat when Allmen was in need of funds and cannot attend that premiere night.
She comes to the Gold Bar to collect him. Jojo is a sexual being who takes Allmen home after, but she is repulsive to him in the light the next morning.
He vows not to go out with her again. While at her home, b Lakeside Ave, he finds a special room full of beautiful art pieces, including a set of five bowls by the French Art Nouveau artist Emile Galle.
Jojo's father has loved and obsessed over Galle and especially these bowls. At first Allmen steals only one and sells it to Tanner, an antiques dealer, who then contacts Hirt as a special collector of Galle, who buys it back, after compelling Tanner to reveal who sold it to him.
When Allmen has spent the proceeds, except for what he needs to repay a debt to Dorig, a violent man, Jojo compels him to dinner at a very expensive restaurant he has not been to before, and he loses part of the debt.
Dorig shows up and in lieu of the expected payment, takes his beloved Beckstein piano. He again goes out with Joelle, though he would rather not, and finds himself taking all five of the bowls this time.
He is obviously a little dense, as he doesn't question why the first bowl that he took is back in the collection. He just figures that there were more than one of that bowl made.
Carlos on the other hand, while in service to Allmen is the smarter of the two men. He is in the country illegally. He had asked Allmen to take him back to his country and Allmen thought it a god idea, also unaware that getting Carlos permission to stay in Switzerland would not be possible.
Caelos simple decides not to go back to Guatemala. Tanner is murdered, and Allmen is shot at, his suspender deflecting the bullet. He decides to take the bowls back to Hirt.
Hirt reveals that he had bought the bowls after they had been stolen. He had not hired a hitman to kill Allmen. He reveals that the bowls had been stolen from a museum to which they were on loan from the Werenbusch family.
But Terry Werenbusch had had the bowls stolen, during which robbery several other Galle pieces had been destroyed, which Hirt would never have sanctioned.
Hirt had called Werenbusch when he found out that Allmen had stolen them, as he thought it only fair that Terry know that now two people were aware of his complicity in the theft.
The family had been in financial straits and the six million francs the family received, two from Hirt and four from the insurance company righted the family's financial woes.
The theft had been 10 years ago and there had been no leads. There was an award for any information. Allmen, who had been to Charterhouse school with Terry, arranges to meet with him.
He makes a deal to return the bowls to him for an amount exceeding the insurance company's reward, , francs. He then reports the theft to the police and collects the reward as well.
The fraud is revealed. Terry goes to jail. Allmen immediately settles all his debts, replaces his piano and much of the Art Nouveau furniture he had had to sell, and does some travelling.
It clearly was a huge amout though he spends most of the money. Back to the status he originally found himself, he decides to set up a business of recovering things for others Thus begins the series, and a delightful entertainment it is.
The character of Allmen is likeable even as he's a deceitful and delusioned individual, excessive and compulsive in his spending and living habits.
Less sympathetic is his superiority to others. But he does love all things cultural, especially reading, and the story is full of book and music referenes.
He is certainly not a snob as it relates to his books or music, playing Chopin and rock, reading Balzac and Maigret. An altogether delightful read.
There was, in fact, a theft of five Galle dragonfly bowls, in They have not been recovered. Jul 16, M.

This is the first volume in a caper series featuring Johann Friedrich von Allmen, gentleman thief. Wanting to give his son a higher station in life, he sent him to the best international schools and indulged every desire of Allmen for travel, fine clothing, dining, entertainment and all the accoutrements of high society.
How Allmen deals with the dangerous complications is the focus of the novel, though after quite a lengthy setup. This series was first published in German by Swiss author Martin Suter, and has recently begun being translated into English.
The product description calls this book a humorous, fast-paced detective novel. The humor is very low key and the action muted; a little too low key and muted for my taste.
Jul 22, Michael rated it really liked it. There is something about reading the works of Martin Suter that calms me. In Allmen und die Libellen or Allmen and the Dragonflies he takes his uncomplicated — yet somehow elegant — use of language and characterization into the mystery genre.
This is one to crime series and w There is something about reading the works of Martin Suter that calms me. This is one to crime series and will be continued.
Nonetheless, I never once thought of putting the book down before that point. Suter is simply talent incarnate. Light but fun. Allmen is a character one shouldn't like, inherited fortune, frittered it away, no work ethic but for some reason he's appealing.
He refuses to concede to his dire straits and continues his life of dissipated indulgence, in debt to everyone. His "valet" Carlos is basically working for him for free and is the source of any bits of common sense filtering down to his boss.

Allmen accidentally stumbles onto a crime through his own kleptomania and despite all his flaws manages to survive some dicey situations and sort of come out briefly ahead.
The author is darkly comic as they say and I enjoyed the change of pace from the regular detective or crime genre.
The book was translated to English and read fast and easily Fun to read. Am looking forward to the follow up book due out soon I understand.
Aug 12, Zoli rated it really liked it. Now that I've finally started reading Martin Suter, I thought I should continue with some of his crime novels.
And I wasn't wrong with my choice. The first of his Allmen novels is a very interesting take on the whole private eye genre.
As with many crime novels that I like, the whole thing is about so many different things but rarely about the crime itself.
I'll definitely continue reading Suter's books. Sep 27, Kathrin rated it really liked it Shelves: german-books. Martin Suter can do no wrong in my mind.
And yet, for the first half of the book I thought I would be disappointed by him for the first time. But then he turned it around and now I want to read all the other books in the series which I fortunately received as a gift last Christmas.
The main character Allmen is a spoiled brat to say the least, but in the end I ended up pulling for him anyways.
I was unfamiliar with Martin Suter prior to reading Allmen and the Dragonflies. The short book, translated from the German, was an enjoyable way to spend the evening.
Built upon a theft of the Art Deco glass artist Emile Galle's dragonflies pieces, I found the story plausible, but less the "thrilling art heist" described in other reviews of the book some reviews not on Goodreads.
In some ways, it reminded me of an Agatha Christie book: not so much thrilling or heart-racing storytelling, but ra I was unfamiliar with Martin Suter prior to reading Allmen and the Dragonflies.
In some ways, it reminded me of an Agatha Christie book: not so much thrilling or heart-racing storytelling, but rather a well-constructed and executed novel.
I generally dislike spoilers, so will refrain from summarizing the storyline, but will admit that I would like to read additional stories by Suter and hope that the ending of Allmen and the Dragonflies is the first in a series with the main characters.
I would love to spend another enjoyable evening with Carlos and Johann von Allmen. No longer rich, Johann Friedrich von Allmen, emphasis on the A, refuses to give up his indulgences and lifestyle, relying on credit and his former good standing.
Allmen and the Dragonflies, has very little tense action, but is a well-plotted book that was enjoyable to read. As a character, Allmen, is fantastic and I loved the ending.
I wish I had a friend like Johann Friedrich von Allmen. This was a quick read, but I generally enjoyed it.
For an international art heist caper, this was pretty low key mild spoiler: view spoiler [I kept expecting a twist at the end after Allmen confronted Werenbusch about the bowls and the hitman hide spoiler ].
I think part of the issue was the character development for Allmen--an issue that many first books in a series have to deal with, but I really didn't mind reading about Allmen's past and lifestyle, etc.
In a sense, Allmen reminded me of This was a quick read, but I generally enjoyed it. In a sense, Allmen reminded me of Royal Tenenbaum--no longer living in his family home living in the gardener's house vs.
Pagoda , willing to lie to get what he wants, etc. In spite of the not very caper-like caper, though, I plan to check out the next book in the series.
International heist mystery that is slow to start and a little confusing with regards to timeline - the present and the past blurred into one before the story kicked off when we arrive back in the present.
JF van Allmen is the antihero, who finances his lifestyle through thefts and insurance frauds, before deciding to use his skills for good rather than evil.
But that is only after using theft as a means also to pay off his creditors, only to have it taken away again.
