His protagonist is a burglar but a gentleman which made for an interesting read. Several turns I did not see coming.

Add me to the list of Gentleman Burglar Bernie fans. Not only are the books fun, but Bernie has interesting conversations. I suspect Block saves up all the fascinating trivia he comes across and gives it to Bernie to discuss. Not even Matt Scudder or Keller (other Block series) are as witty and sophisticated. I read
The Burglar Who Counted Spoons (the latest in the series) earlier this month. It was great fun and increased my store of interesting trivia considerably.
