A review by caterinaanna
The Burglar on the Prowl by Lawrence Block

4.0

I couldn't resist reading this as soon as I'd finished my previous more serious read - and once started couldn't resist finishing. Bernie has to be one of my favourite fictional felons and this time he ends up on the side of the good guys with very little to show for it at the end. One highlight was an Agatha Christie-type 'we are gathered here today to reveal the truth' meeting, but throughout the wisecracks and puns keep coming and the older-but-no-wiser-burglar still has what it takes to make me smile.
