The dentist was found with a blackened hole below his right temple. A pistol lay on the floor near his out flung right hand. Later, one of his patients was found dead from a lethal dose of local anaesthetic. A clear case of murder and suicide. But why would a dentist commit a crime in the middle of a busy day of appointments? A shoe buckle holds the key to the mystery. Now - in the words of the rhyme - can Poirot pick up the sticks and lay them straight?

Twilight for Poirot

The stakes for the correct solution were never higher than in this tale, and it took all of HP’s wisdom and mettle to see it through. I like the mellowing, reflective Poirot best of all.

The Saint is back – 50 audiobooks are now available starring the debonair classic crime hero. Simon Templar is the Saint - daring, dazzling, and just a little disreputable. On the side of the law, but standing outside it, he dispenses his own brand of justice one criminal at a time.I n Prohibition-era New York, criminals rule the city: the gangsters do what they like, and pay the judges for the privilege; the few honest cops are helpless; and above them all the Big Fellow pulls the strings.

The Saint Noir
Revisado: 08-17-22
I’m listening to the series in order, and while they’ve been rollickingly entertaining, but a bit lightweight. I rarely get the sense that Templar is ever in any sort of jeopardy and if makes any mistakes at all, they are usually trivial.
Not so with “The Saint in New York”. This is a refreshingly human Simon Templar who gets a lot wrong along the way and is in real danger of losing everything. I appreciated the introspection afforded by acting truly alone for the first time in the series.
What surprised me most was how hard boiled this book was. Nothing I’ve heard in the series made me think of Hammett or Chandler until now. This book, though, has similar notes of the man who was not mean walking some truly mean streets.
The ending was poignant and satisfying; echoes of the denouement can be found a certain savage Spenser novel.
John Telfer a limited array of character voices, but the ones he commands are all well done. There’s a generation of British actors and readers whose Americans all sound like gangsters from the 1930s, but that’s hardly a problem here. Where Telfer shines, though, is as Simon Templar. He completely inhabits the role and I’m looking forward to the next book.
