The Burglar in the Closet

De: Lawrence Block

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

It’s hard to ignore someone with his hands in your mouth. Bernie Rhodenbarr’s all ears when Dr. Sheldrake, his dentist, starts complaining about his detestable, soon-to-be-ex wife, and happens to mention the valuable diamonds she keeps lying around the apartment. Since Bernie’s been known to supplement his income as a bookstore owner with the not-so-occasional bout of high-rise burglary, a couple of nights later, he’s in the Sheldrake apartment with larceny on his mind—and has to duck into a closet when the lady of the house makes an unexpected entrance. Unfortunately he’s still there when an unseen assailant does Mrs. Sheldrake in…and then vanishes with the jewels.

Bernie’s got to come out of the closet some time. But when he does, he’ll be facing a rap for a murder he didn’t commit—and for a burglary he certainly attempted—unless he can hunt down the killer who left him hanging.

EXCELLENT

As usual and on par Richard Ferrone brings Bernie and crew alive!! Very enjoyable listen.

Favorite narrator for hard boiled

I’m a fan of not so violent crime novels and this is that plus the one the best for narration.

The perfect title

Fun story, nice twists and turns and since it is read by one of my favorite narrators.
Well you can't ask for more on slant weekend.
VERY entertaining too!

Second installment

This was a fun and good book by Mr Block.
Bernie gets himself into some hot water

And gets himself out. Fun story

Bernie is da Bomb..!!!

Lawrence Block is genius, Richard Ferrone is fabulous as always. The pair have created a fun frolic of mystery, murder, money and Madness. Short and sweet this is a most entertaining and Worthy tale. I listenedvirtually Non-stop. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

story and word play AMAZING

Been a fan do Dune and the like, but this wrifhter had me guessing as much in a shorter story.
So if you liked Scooby-Doo as a kid, and maybe Dr Who, or some defective thinking wear most of the puzzle pieces are always there give it a shot.

Burglar or detective…. Who knows…..

Second book in de series and i loved it a lot. Nice story that builds itself to a plot you don’t always see coming. Recommebded for a light read with a lot of humour….

love this series

I wish there were more in this series with Block and Ferrone

Another light-hearted winner!

Who but Mrs. Rodenbarr's son Bernard could find himself in such a fix and end up pulling the rabbit out of his hat to the amusement of New York's finest? Well done, Lawrence Block and the imperturbable Richard Ferrone!
