Synopsis

Bookseller Bernie Rhodenbarr’s in love—with an exotic Eastern European beauty who shares his obsession with Humphrey Bogart movies. He’s in heaven, munching popcorn with his new amour every night at a Bogart Film Festival—until their Casablanca-esque idyll is cut short by his other secret passion: burglary. When he’s hired to pilfer a portfolio of valuable documents from a Park Avenue apartment, Bernie can hardly refuse. But the occupant’s early return forces Bernie to flee empty-handed—and he soon finds himself implicated in a murder. Before you can say “who stole the strawberries?” he’s hunting for a killer, up to his neck in the outrageous intrigues of a tiny Balkan nation … and menaced by more sinister fat men and unsavory toadies than the great Bogie himself butted heads with in pursuit of that darn bird!

A gift of comic delight, this is my first Bernie Rhodenbarr book. The next time I am feeling blue I will grab another of these based on the comic relief I found in this one.

Goodreads review by Monnie on April 20, 2014

Just what I'll do once I've finished all the books in this series I'm not sure; each and every one so far has been a treasure to which I treat myself after finishing up a particularly difficult novel (or a spectacularly lousy one). I know I can count on these to lift my spirits, provide a chuckle or......more

Goodreads review by David on February 13, 2018

I had thought Bernie's tales were getting a bit formulaic but this one differs a little, with Bernie never in danger of jail, but dedicating himself to solving a murder mystery. The Eastern European plot line is very reminiscent of some of Block's Evan Tanner storylines penned 30 years prior.......more
