Ce que les critiques en disent

"[Narrator Stephen] Fry gives Max a perfect plummy voice and has equal fun with colorful supporting characters and ne'er-do-wells. His lovely mix of realistic conversation and pacing, as well as the occasional slow wink, encourages listeners to succumb in pleasure." ( AudioFile)

I liked that this collection was more than just murders and millionaires. The stories are quite original and ingenious, even if some aspects are also quite improbable.

A diverse collection of mysteries

A well read collection of stories unfortunately it lacks a proper index, leaves one guessing titles and chapters. Frustrating.

Entertaining collection

I found this to be a pale imitation of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The twist of the main protagonist being blind does not compensate for the stories being rather dull. Neither does the excellent narration by Stephen Fry. I’d recommend sticking with Conan Doyle over this.
