5.0 out of 5 stars
the gentleman thief,
By Nawaporn Meechan "47107010146" (Bangkok, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Collected Raffles Stories (Oxford Popular Fiction) (Paperback)
Raffles was the creation of E.W. Hornung, brother-in-law to Holmes's creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Hornung took the detective pair, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson and reincarnated them on the wrong side of the law as Raffles and Bunny, who pursued the business of getting a living by entirely logical methods of stealing it. Raffles was a man-about-town and famous cricketer by day and a master burglar by night. He takes Bunny on as his assistant, and together they lead a lift of gentleman criminals. They use their connections as gentlemen to sniff out new opportunities. Raffles uses many ruses to steal, which lead varied interesting stories for us to read. He convinces readers to throw away their scruples and follow along for wit, bold adventures, and thrilling suspense.
These stories are very exciting. They allure me to follow up what's in the next line. Reading these stories is to enjoy the thrills in every page. They make me want to know what techniques and ruses that the gentleman thief will use in each situation. So if you are looking for a fascinating reading, this is the book for you. |
