The Burglar in the Library
- Dutton Adult
- 342 pages
All of the stock characters are on hand: suspicious servants, a retired British colonel, a pair of nosy spinsters, an irritatingly precocious child, and a cat named Raffles. The wittily diverting result is rather like an Agatha Christie novel narrated by Basil Fawlty, or a game of Clue organized by Monty Python.
