 ... the initial paragraph of this review, my opinion of the average burglar is not a high one. In fact I often loath the portrayal of crooks in films as they are far too clean for my likening. It was a surprise to me then that I got along so well with the character of Bernie Rhodenbarr. Here is a man who steals for a living but charms his way out of trouble – every clique in the book, but done so well. I had never read a Bernie Rhodenbarr mystery before but I got to know and enjoy the character by page 5. Block has a...more

Gripping, engaging characters, in a book you won't want to put down! none

Very readable, pleasant setting Disappointing story

Great characters, intense, action, suspense Maybe too violent for some

Main idea is interesting, although this is let down in execution. Poorly plotted & developed. Contrived motive & ending.

Fairly well written with enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested Some plot holes
