Book Review of Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman

Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman
reviewed on + 155 more book reviews


The story of Raffles is among the "must reads" for any committed fan of early 20th century crime lit. He's a bit dated for us world-weary 21st century folk. In Raffles' world, a believable gentleman thief was possible. His era ended in the First World War.
