The Burglar Who Liked to Quote Kipling by Lawrence Block

3.0

While Carol is a welcome addition to this series, and while it still makes me laugh, these are definitely lesser Lawrence Block works, especially compared to the excellent Scudder series. Barry gets himself in the same jam time-after-time and yet finds ways to wiggle himself out, ways that Block obstructs until the end. They're fine reads to pass the time and tour the city but I wish they were better.
