À propos de cet audio

Chief of the Intelligence Department Sir Leonard Wallace - bearing always the hallmark of coolness and wit - is up to his earlobes in trouble. Summoned by the Viceroy of India, he makes a rapid flight to India to investigate the mysterious death of British officer Major Elliot and the theft of some very important dispatches.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A romping read.... James Bond may find he has a worthy rival." ( Daily Mail)
"The dialogue is reminiscent of that in the early Agatha Christie novels, and there is an air of Simon Templar about Wallace, who seems to be always one step ahead of everyone else." ( Books Monthly)

The story wasn’t too bad but some of the protagonist’s poorly planned actions, and the consequences there of, were a bit ridiculous. What was very interesting though was the historical window into how things were in India in the 1920s. The British attitudes toward other ethnicities was eye opening as well. The book was written in 1926 and reflects the language, prejudice, and misogyny of the time. The narrator, on the other hand, was very good and made the somewhat tedious and silly parts of the story more palatable. I would never be able to read the book, listening is the only way to get through it. I’m not sure whether I will listen to another of this author’s books.

Just a bit too far fetched…
