The year is 1910, and in the small and seemingly sleepy English municipality of Haxford, there’s a new chief police inspector. At first, the dapper and unflappable Pignon Scorbion strikes something of an odd figure among the locals, who don’t see a need for such an exacting investigator. But it isn’t long before Haxford finds itself very much in need of a detective. Luckily, Scorbion and the local barber are old acquaintances, and the barbershop employs a cast of memorable characters who are nothing less than enthralled by the enigmatic new chief police inspector.

Mixed Feelings About This One
Revisado: 11-13-22
I'm always a little skeptical when authors use characters from other authors' works, whether named or just similar. Anyone who has read Agatha Christie will immediately recognize the similarities between Hercule Poirot and Pignon Scorbion. Despite my reservations, the cases he unraveled were interesting enough to keep me listening until the end of the book. It was, however, a bit of an uphill struggle to get past the narration. Some people have commented that the narrator's accent prevented them from understanding what was being said or who was speaking. For me, it was the measured and rhythmical speech which rose and fell in a predictable pattern that completely obliterated any nuances in tone. Perhaps in book 2 we will learn enough about Scorbion to explain his Poirot-like eccentricities, and it will be read by someone who is able to bring it to life.
