A Thief in the Night
You get Raffles and Bunny at their most polished: ingenious burglaries, close shaves, and Bunny’s anxious, admiring narration making every moral compromise feel oddly companionable. The stories are brisk and sly, though their gentleman-thief romanticism and late-Victorian attitudes can feel decidedly dated.
The Black Mask
Raffles and Bunny again, but sadder and shabbier this time, both in hiding after everything went wrong, pulling jobs because it's all they know how to be. If you liked the first book's charm, this one trades some of it for melancholy, and it suits them.
