Il Ladro in Caccia: Bernie Rhodenbarr #10

The mix of comedy and noir feels so seamless—I'm curious whether this approach was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.

It’s interesting how the character’s internal conflicts made me sympathize with him despite his actions. Did others find this balance compelling?

The comedic elements lighten the mood but sometimes felt like they undercut the suspense. Was this contrast intentional or just a happy accident?
