Mr. Justice Raffles by E.W. Hornung

My third book for ljbookbingo is Mr. Justice Raffles by E.W. Hornung for #49 A Book with an Unreliable Narrator, card found here:

 

"It was Raffles I loved. It was not the dark life we led together, still less it's base rewards; it was the man himself his gayety, his humor, his dazzling audacity, his incomparable courage and resource"- Bunny Manders (A Thief in the Night)

It was quotes like the one above that has kept me reading these books and so here is the final book in the Raffles series. Overall I really have enjoyed this series.  I loved Bunny's pov as he narrated his life with Raffles and the capers and crimes they got involved in.  Unlike the other three books this is not a collection of short stories instead it is a full length novel.  Raffles and Bunny come to the rescue of Raffles friend Teddy who has borrowed from a moneylender who charges massive amounts of interest.  Raffles who has had run-ins with the moneylender before so he decides to teach the man a lesson.  The antagonist is Jewish and so the anti-Semitism is somewhat frequent.  Which is a bit of a disappointing note to end on.   Overall I think Hornung really shows his strength in his short stories, novel length is not as great but still good.
