Bernie Rhodenbarr (Lawrence Block)

As of this writing, I’ve read the first five in this series. Light, fun, and playful, they detail the exploits of Bernie Rhodenbarr, gentleman burglar, as he gets himself into almost exactly the same trouble every book, and predictably, yet somehow surprisingly, scrapes himself out of it again and again.

One of the ancillary features of these books, and one of the main attractions for me, is the late 70’s/early 80’s zeitgeist it conveys, ineluctably, straight into my consciousness.

How we met:
Browsing Hoopla for short, easy-listening audiobooks that would hold my attention and also help me defeat my dumb Goodreads 2020 reading challenge.
