The Burglar on the Prowl by Lawrence Block

2.0

The Burglar on the Prowl is the 10th book in a series about Bernie Rhodenbarr, a burglar who solves crimes. I had never read any of this series before, but evidently they can be read as standalone. I normally enjoy comedic who-done-its, and did a little, but there were a few places that were absoulte turn offs. Particularly one creepy scene that ruined the whole thing. There were humorous parts in the story and an overall ridiculousness that I guess is the shtick, but the effect was just lost on me. Also the ending was so confusing that even the characters where confused and had to ask for clarification. Talk about a mystery!
