This review is from: Affairs of Chip Harrison (Paperback)

I have been a big fan of Lawrence Block's for quite some time, He has written a large number of books in a number of series each starring a different "hero" (usually a detective). My favorite series are the "Bernie Rhodenbarr Mysteries" (Bernie is a totally likable burglar who also runs a second-hand bookstore), "Keller's Greatest Hits" with Keller, who is also totally likable even though he is a hit man and murders for a living and "The Affairs of Chip Harrison" . The first two volumes of this last series are biographical and we follow Chip on his adventure-ridden way to New York where in the later volumes he is the assistent of that very eccentric detective Leo Haig. All of the Chip Harrison books are well constructed, well- written, and - in the Block tradition - witty enough to make you snort out loud on occasion. When the "Affairs" appeared in an omnibus version I decided that this was the perfect Christmas for certain of my relatives and it turned out that I was right.
