About this listen

 Edgar Award-winner Lawrence Block invites you into the criminally funny world of the most notorious star of mystery fiction: Bernie Rhodenbarr, bookseller by day and burglar by night. In this humorous mystery, Bernie's passion for Humphrey Bogart movies leads him to a beautiful damsel in distress, a dangerous international conspiracy, and more than a few incriminating bodies. Sparkling with wit and energy, The Burglar Who Thought He Was Bogart is guaranteed to have you laughing out loud.©1995 Lawrence Block (P)1996 Recorded Books, LLC Detective Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Thief Funny Witty

Gentleman burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr channels his inner Humphrey Bogart as he tracks down a double murderer embroiled with the exiled heir to the royal fortune of a small Balkan nation. This was pretty fun with author Lawrence Block’s word play, Bernie and Caroline’s jaded jokes, the reliably corrupt cop, Ray, and the femme fatale Bernie is falling for. Of course, Bogart’s famous “hill of beans” speech makes an appearance to round things off. While I definitely miss Richard Ferrone’s narration, Frank Muller did a great job on the audiobook, also channeling Bogart to a tee (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)!
