In many ways, I think this one of Block's best stories about Bernie. Not just for humor, but also because in a clever, round-about way, it parodies one of Agatha Christie's more famous novels.

However, I only gave it 3 stars due to its unnecessary vulgarity. Did Block really need to describe Bernie using a shoe to urinate in? Or Bernie's urge to defecate? I could excuse Bernie having sex with a married woman---not his wife---on her wedding night, but the description of his lesbian's friend orgasm against Bernie's leg was totally unnecessary to the story.

I hope we don't see more of this in the "Bernie" novels I have yet to read.
