“All of Block’s Bernie books are outrageously funny.” —Associated Press   “Wonderfully funny…Block’s effortless first-person narrative and zippy dialogue is as pleasing as escapist fare ever gets.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review   “Intoxicating writing.” —Chicago Tribune   "Notre Dame at dusk. Pepy’s account of the great fire of London. A really good cashmere coat. Some treasures are timeless…I feel like putting Bernie Rhodenbarr on that list.” —New York Times Book Review
