robin_go's review against another edition
4.0
Bunny cuts the apron-strings and goes alone a lot in this one - which sadly means a little less of the sizzling dialogue between them. The stronger stories are in the front half of the book and I felt it was a bit lighter on the period detail that I have come to love ('we got this hansom...it was like this...the driver was like this...etc' - there's less of that). Still it's great - hey, even a slightly-weaker Raffles book is still pretty darn wonderful compared with most other literature of the era.

This book rocks, we already know how everything ends for Raffles so it's just them goofing off for a whole book. A good time if you like reading about a pair of absolute disasters stealing everything they can get their hands on

Completely guessable, but oh so fun! This is going to wrap up my 2013 reading- nice way to head out of the old and in to the new.
