Fergus Hume
(4,128 Sterne; 78 Bewertungen)
Mysteries abound in this crime novel by Fergus Hume. Mr. Fanks, detective of Scotland Yard, is not all he seems, for when off-duty, he assumes his real identity of Octavius Rixton, well-to-do idler. When the scent of a murder reaches him, he is instantly Mr. Fanks and on the pursuit. A guilty looking innkeeper nicknamed Queen Beelzebub and a suspicious doctor named Renshaw further complicate his beginning investigation, and he finds the body is a man with a tattoo on his arm that has been partially obliterated by a knife. Where no one is as he seems the mystery can only deepen before its solution. - Summary by Don W. Jenkins (8 hr 35 min)

Although both readers were excellent, it would have been better if one or the other had read it all because after the voice changed from Don W Jenkins , it took me a while to get to grips who was who in the story when mark nelson took over the story; The story itself, is a classic Fergus Hume book full of lively interesting characters and plot twists ; I find it easier if I read and listen to some stories at the same time, and this was one of those due to the many characters in it. I found this one on project Gutenberg since it wasn’t in his collected novels on kindle; if you like Hume you’ll like JS Fletcher from the same era; murder intrigue and double or even triple identities

One of the most convoluted tales ever contrived. Great fun and well-read. Enjoy.
Feh!

My two stars are for readers who , as usual, are excellent. The story not so much. It's far two complex with an over abundance of red herrings, mistaken identities and implausible plot twists. I was glad when it limped to a finish! I' ve enjoyed several other Hume mysteries but not this one.

Some white people will go through the trouble of writing an entire novel just to "get away" using the N word.
