The Burglar Who Counted the Spoons by Lawrence Block

4.0

The Bel Air Mystery Book Club read this for the February selection. I don't recall reading any of the Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries before, but if a mystery can be called "delightful," this one was. The characters were suitably quirky, and there were mysteries other than the natural (or was it?) death of a woman to involve Bernie and his friend, Carolyn. I will try more entries in this series, as I enjoy a mystery that also makes me laugh. Plus, I learned about apostle spoons, the value of certain collectibles, and much about buttons. Yes, buttons!
