recording of The Amateur Cracksman, by E.W. Hornung. Read by Kristin Hughes. “I'd tasted blood, and it was all over with me. Why should I work when I could steal? Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, danger and a decent living were all going begging together?” - A. J. Raffles, The Ides of March. The Amateur Cracksman is the first collection of stories about A. J. Raffles, gentleman, cricketer, and thief. After stopping his old school friend, Bunny Manders, from a desperate attempt at suicide, Raffles introduces the unsuspecting Bunny to a new way of earning a living, burglary. Though frequently horrified by Raffles's actions, the conscience-stricken Bunny stands by him through all their adventures, firm to his promise, “When you want me, I'm your man!” (Summary by Kristin Hughes) For more information on our readers, please visit the catalog pageDownload M4B (147MB)

“I stumbled onto The Amateur Cracksman randomly and honestly? Best accident ever. The way E.W. Hornung explains things — it just clicks. I've tried similar books and they always felt dry. This one actually kept me engaged start to finish.”

“Finished it in four sittings. Usually takes me weeks to get through an audiobook. Says a lot about how gripping The Amateur Cracksman is.”
