Summary
Although Bernie Rhodenbarr had planned a weekend away with his lady love, Bernie was still thinking of it as a working weekend. When she informs him that she will be using that weekend to marry someone else, Bernie decides to go on the holiday anyway. After all, the signed first edition of Raymond Chandler's "The Big Sleep" is still at the house, just waiting for Bernie to steal it.

Media Reviews
"'The Burglar in the Library', like the other Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries, may not change your life, but it will certainly make your day. Or a lazy weekend in July." -- Michael Dirda
-- Washington Post Book World
"Bernie, evidently recovered from his most recent folly...has a fine time mocking the conventions of Christie's bygone age. Fans who don't insist on plotting as tight as Christie's will enjoy themselves just as much as if it were her."
-- Kirkus
"What next? A body in the library? Yes, and, even better, the drollest sendup of a murder-in-a-teacup mystery that you will ever hope to beg, borrow-or steal." -- Marilyn Stasio
-- New York Times Book Review
"Entertainment too subversive to call 'pure'. A classic country house cast-curry-eating colonel, precocious brat, straying tootsie, sinister spinsters-but conventions sabotaged by high-comic style which parodies traditional puzzle-solving while doing it brilliantly." -- Philip Oakes
-- Literary Review
"Running gags, in-jokes, inspired silliness and delightful banter enliven this clever concoction." -- Tom Nolan
-- Wall Street Journal
