Satisfying, lighthearted whodunnit!

The last of the gentleman cat burglars, Bernie Rhodenbarr is approached to steal an American Colonial silver spoon by an avid button collector. His NYPD buddy, Ray, also asks Bernie to consult on the death and burglary of a wealthy old lady. As usual, Bernie must outwit the crooks and murderers who cross his path with the help of his BFF and drinking buddy, Carolyn Kaiser. This one follows the same comfortable pattern as the previous ten books, and yet this lighthearted whodunnit still satisfies. There are a lot of moving parts to this one, Bernie’s love life notwithstanding, and Bernie has modernised with the times, resisting the need to move his bookstore business online - everyone still seems to be using landlines but it’s progress. Richard Ferrone’s dry humorous tones continue to delight on the audiobook (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).
