Vonnegut"s third novel, The Trust, was published in 2012.
Janet Maslin of The New York Times says that "Mr. Vonnegut dreams up diabolically elegant business crimes, then sends smart-talking characters to follow the money." and reaffirms the genre with her claim that "This is money-porn beach reading"
