The plot in this was familiar as Rex Stout proposed it in a Nero Wolfe book. That, plus the several references to the need to sit down so As not to force a character to crane their neck makes me think the author is a Stout fan. There were a couple of things that made it a less enjoyable read. The repetitive nature of the plot was one. The fact that each person promises to tell no one and then tells everyone,while realistic, was annoying. It also seemed amazing that the detective would have fallen for the “I knew that because so and so, who must be the guilty part” told me.” Line. ( ) Cuando en una respetable mansión de Bedford Square se encuentra el cadaver de un hombre asesinado, el más experto y conflictivo policía victoriano de Londres, Thomas Pitt, acude inmediatamente al lugar de los hechos. Tanto la casa como una cajita de rapé encontrada eb el cuerpo pertenecen al muy respetado general Balabtyne, amigo de Charlotte, la esposa de Pitt, y ampliamente conocido en los circulos sociales. A medida que se va involucrando en la investigación de este asesinato y en un caso de chantaje, Pitt se verá inmerso en una terrible lucha para salvar lo que siempre ha intentado preservar: la integridad de la policia de Bow Street. C’est toujours avec une certaine gourmandise que l’on aborde une enquête de Thomas Pitt. Aidé de Charlotte et de la délicieuse tante Vespasia, il doit démêler ici une série de chantages qui touche des hommes de la bonne société londonienne. Peut-être moins de tension que dans d’autres volumes, mais une fin inattendue et surprenante. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The freshly dead body sprawled on the Bedford Square doorstep of General Brandon Balantyne is an affront to every respectable sensibility. The general denies all knowledge of the shabbily dressed victim who has so rudely come to death outside his home, but Superintendent Thomas Pitt cannot believe him--for in the dead man's pocket, Pitt finds a rare snuffbox that recently graced the general's study. The superintendent must tread lightly, however, lest his investigation trigger a tragedy of immense proportions, ensnaring honorable men like flies in a web. Pitt's clever wife, Charlotte, becomes his full partner in probing this masterpiece of evil, spawned by an amorality greater than they can imagine. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
