Burglars Can't Be Choosers: A Bernie Rhodenbarr Mystery (Chivers Sound Library)

Summary: Buy it! The book you'd not regret buying!
Review: While traveling down I-95 to Florida I found a more recent Lawrence Block book, "The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams." I found Block's style of mystery-humor very interesting and couldn't wait until I could seek and find the other books in the series. "Burglars Can't Be Choosers," the first in the series of seven other books featuring Bernie Rhodenbarr introduces us to a burglar who is caught in act by Ray Kirchmann, one of the city's finest in blue. Bernie is a loveable cat burglar who has to turn detective to save his own skin after stumbling over a murder. If you read a more recent "Burglar who..." you soon realize Bernie's friend Carolyn is introduced in a later work. His second occupation, that of a Greenwich Village used bookstore owner doesn't take place until later. I generally advocate reading books in a series in sequence to see how reoccurring characters develop. This is certainly true of this series. "Burglars Can't Be Choosers," is a good start for a delightful series.
