The whole Junior Bender series is amazing. The characters that occupy the world are creative and interesting. The one-liners are quippy and hilarious. The premise - a genius burglar PI with a heart of gold - is awesome. I’m just starting a reread because I love the writing so much. Little quips like “He set one foot on the slippery slope, and bought himself some skis for the way down” and “she was wearing distressed jeans that got distressed by rubbing money on them.” It’s almost like a Sorkin show. 10/10, love this whole series.
