Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams Reviews

"Bernie Rhodenbarr doesn't have to try for hipness, because hip is in the very air he breathes. The Burglar is just adorable. He is cute without being cuddly, he is witty without looking like he's striving for it, and he is rakish without possessing a single mean streak in his lithe and sinuous body. And his language - I suppose we should say Lawrence Block's language - is dry and droll and elegant, like how Dashiell Hammett would write if he was still doing the Thin Man books today." - The Guardian; "For clean close-to-the-bone prose, the line goes from Dashiell Hammett to James M Cain to Lawrence Block. He's that good." - Martin Cruz Smith; "Fast, Funny, Terrific" - Ed McBain; "Excellent N.Y. background and unusual characters make Block a detective writer to savour" - Daily Mirror; "A homage to the golden age of murder mysteries" - Donna Leon, The Sunday Times
