Story
In The Burglar Who Studied Spinoza, Bernie applies philosophy to match wits with a wily murderer and a few too many burglars. Bernie and his dog-grooming partner in crime, Carolyn, are planning the perfect crime. Tonight, they will rob a brownstone while the well-heeled owners are out of town with their vicious watch dog. But when Bernie painstakingly picks the lock, they discover somebody has already emptied the house - except for a valuable coin almost too hot to handle.

Bernie Rhodenbarr might be your run of the mill book-monger. He likes it that way! He doesn’t HAVE to make a mint selling second-hand tomes since he is NOT your typical burglar. His lucrative part-time avocation leads to endless whimsical adventures and misadventures. His best friend Carolyn - top tease at The Poodle Factory. No, she isn’t a stripper, she spends her days fluffing and polishing the posh canine pets of Manhattan.
With an inscrutable salad of random but cogent, facts from history, literature and New York life - the pair provide riveting stories what are wonderfully recounted by the voices of Richard Ferrone. He has one of those voices that would make a science textbook more palatable.
I’ve loved these books for ages - listening on cassette tapes in my pick-up truck in college, CDs in my BMW while showing houses around town and even today - streaming through Audible into my Forester.
I’m glad the books were a hit, because it’s nice to have good AND humorous mystery writing this rare in such ample supply.

Upon listening to Mr. Maher’s presentation again I am reminded how impactful this book has been on my life a a Realtor and as a human being before and after being introduced to the Generosity Generation.
I feel like one of the cool kids, having purchased a copy when it was self-published - then subsequent copies that I’ve shared over the years. The principles that I’ve applied have all paid off exponentially and it seems I apply something new or realize what I’ve applied even more earnestly when I read or hear it again.
Thanks and BLESSINGS to Michael Maher and all those involved in its creation. Also thanks to Ted Fisher & Nic Nicaud who joined me with the early reading - and Josh Purvis who represents Gen Gen in a whole new way!

Great voice, amazing sleepy affectation, I have literally played this audiobook four times trying to see what she’s saying. I never last more than 15-20 seconds.
