About this listen

Ever since The Burglar on the Prowl climbed the best seller lists in 2004, fans have been clamoring for a new book featuring the lighthearted and light-fingered Bernie Rhodenbarr. Now everybody's favorite burglar returns in an 11th adventure that finds him and his lesbian sidekick Carolyn Kaiser breaking into houses, apartments, and even a museum, in a madcap adventure replete with American Colonial silver, an F. Scott Fitzgerald manuscript, a priceless portrait, and a remarkable array of buttons. And, wouldn't you know it, there's a dead body, all stretched out on a Trent Barling carpet....

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).
