The Burglar Who Counted the Spoons

It’s such a unique trait for a burglar character—did the author base this on real habits or was it purely fictional? I wonder how it influences the story’s tone.

The humor really added charm, but I kept wondering if it was intentional to make the characters more memorable or if it was just a personal style.

The small-town vibe made the story feel relaxed, but sometimes I felt the mystery moved a bit slowly—was that deliberate to keep it light?
