Since his friend and partner in crime, A. J. Raffles, jumped into the Mediterranean, Bunny Manders has scraped along as best he can. At Raffles’s side, he was witness to, and participant in, the most ingenious burglaries the underworld had ever seen. Without him, Bunny is a struggling ex-convict, so down on his luck that he answers an ad seeking a male nurse and companion for a notoriously rude invalid. But when he lights the old man’s Sullivan cigarette and sees a perfect smoke ring float into the air, Bunny cries out in delight. Raffles is back, and ready for adventure.
In the second installment in E. W. Hornung’s crackerjack crime series, England’s greatest jewel thief is up to all of his old tricks and many ingenious new ones – none so spectacular as turning Queen Victoria herself into an accomplice.

Unless you enjoy fiction produced in the sunset of the British Empire
Unless you enjoy fiction produced in the sunset of the British Empire, while reading Raffles you will have difficulty comprehending English as it was once taught, and you will be offended by the upper-class presumptions of the protagonists who are all male and Caucasian.On the other hand, this is not fiction to be consigned to the basement.It is fun and easy to read (without the inexcusable but authentic errors of grammar and “speling” found amid award-winners and best-sellers).It costs less than $5.00.As a “review” I pray this will do.

This sort of book does not appeal to me. …
This sort of book does not appeal to me. It was essentially a book of short stories, rather than one story for the entire book.

A quick and enjoyable read
I think Raffles has a good heart, but clearly a criminal mind. I enjoy reading detective novels of that period and this was an enjoyable change in view. I thought it was as well written as any of the Sherlock Holmes novels.
