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.
