It's like Christmas morning to read the first page of any Thomas Perry novel! Burglar did not disappoint. Loved Elle, found her so smart and interesting. The mystery was outstanding and stayed thrilling until the end. The only negative was now I'm finished and have to wait for the next!

This was superb! So tense throughout; I really was on the edge of my seat. A great spin on the standard whodunnit, Elle is such a compelling character. The whole thing was so cinematic; I don’t think it will be long before there’s an adaptation of this book.

Thomas Perry is once again at the top of his game with The Burglar. Will draw you in until the last page.

This was a fast and fun read. Nothing too deep, do not expect highly developed characters, but it was an absorbing summer or vacation read. Sometimes you need to just escape with a nice not too heavy mystery.

Reading a book by Thomas Cook is always a treat, and this is no exception. When Elle, a throughly likable burglar discovers a triple homocide, she decides to solve the crime, fearing she will be next.
So, burglar becomes detective and leads the reader through an adventure with incredible guile and brilliance. Every moment is both delightful and full of suspense, murders add up and Elle delves into corners with stealth and courage.
Super fun read, and a textbook for use of all the new electronics and spy equipment.
