Un très bon moment de lecture

Un très bon livre, je l'ai presque lu d'une traite. J'ai beaucoup aimé le parallèle entre les chapitres se passant durant la révolution franaise et ceux de nos jours, cette alternance entretenait encore plus le suspense.

J'ai un petit moins aimé la fin, un peu trop tirée par les cheveux.

Mais c'est un très bon livre, prenant et j'ai passé un très bon moment de lecture.

Members Reviews:

I do have one big reservation with A.J.Raffles

Whilst I did enjoy this series I do have one big reservation with it; A.J.Raffles is an anti-hero. To enjoy a story I like to warm/ sympathise with the main character though this is quite hard. For example in No Sinecure he knocks out a policeman at a museum, but the main contentious storyline is when Bunny is strangling a boy at a school, named Beefy, then Raffles comes to his aid and chloroforms the child. Yes a child. [The Raffles Relics]

Theres a lot to like, great cast of actors and production, but I question the morality of having an anti-hero as the leading man.

Contains six episodes (first broadcast during 1992), plus an adaptation of Graham Greenes play The Return of Raffles (1 hour, 1993)

Simply delightful.

The more I have listened to these dramatized Raffles stories the more I enjoy them. The characters really grew on me and I was there for their own ups and downs.

Members Reviews:

Fair at best.

The plot line is interesting in a predictable way. While the narration is pleasant Stockton Harris has some odd pronunciations of standard words. There is no attempt at different voices for the characters so it sounds like the reading of a story book.Overall It is fair at best.

Title: Sherlock Holmes: His Last Bow

Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrator: Gerard Savage

Format: Unabridged

Length: 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-10-17

Publisher: Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Classic Detective

Publisher's Summary:

"His Last Bow" is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and one of eight stories in the volume His Last Bow. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (May 22, 1859-July 7, 1930) was a British author most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction.

Members Reviews:

Au Revoir, Mr. Holmes and Dr, Watson; we'll miss you.

This is the last Canon Sherlock Holmes story, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle just before the First World War. Yes, Sherlock is aged here, but he has aged gracefully and retains every bit of his incredible capacities at detection and acting.

In a sense, this is a sad book, since it truly is our last glimpse of Holmes and Watson as they fade into the mists of history and legend. Yet it is also a proud story of the great Detective's last case and his masterful exit from the stage of playing the Detective.

I have no doubt that he (undocumented of course) improved the strains of bees in England as a final solution to a problem...but Watson didn't tell us about that. All he told us about was his friend's last case for Crown and Country.

he helps to thwart the worst and most malign intentions of the insane Adolph Hitler

Yet another Conan Doyle worthy, amongst all of the chilling, surprising, and often humourous affairs and Adventures in and by which Sherlock Holmes has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of enthusiasts! His Last Bow is the fitting bow that The Final Problem certainly was not! Holmes in advancing years still retains the quickness of mind, the physical strength and litheness, and the wit that made him a dear friend and hero to so many who could never have possibly met him even if they had somehow been transported back to the Baker Street of the latter 19th century and the early 20th. In this last affair, he helps to thwart the worst and most malign intentions of the insane Adolph Hitler.

Not a great ending

being a fan of Sherlock you want to read each and everything written for Sherlock.

This book is the last written by Doyle in Sherlock series.

It starts some German spy trying to gather the signals and ends upo with Sherlock catching the guy by enacting as an informer.

This is not at all Sherlock like and i was disappointed by the book..

I rate this book 2/5

Devil D

Not the collection, but fun.

As other reviewers have stated this is not the collection of short stories with the same name, but the single short story. Even so this one is a must for all fans of Doyle. It is a true outlier among the Holmes stories. It is told in the third person, not narrated by Watson, and it is spy thriller. This story was written, I am sure, as a patriotic ode by Doyle as a way of enlisting Holmes into the cause of the Great War. This is a format recognizable to many people as the movies with Rathbone and Bruce often took place during the next world war which was completely anachronistic to the original stories. Enjoy.

A true masterpiece

The format of not following along with Holmes and Watson as the story began , but rather to discover that he was actually playing another part until the climax was truly refreshing.

Publisher's Summary:

The client was young, blonde, and beautiful, and she wanted to disappear. The trouble was she wouldn't say why, and she wouldn't give her name. So Perry Mason agreed to a code of identification based on her measurements: 36-24-36. But according to Della Street, the figures were padded, and as it turned out, so was everything the client said. Certainly the bag full of cash she carries isn't shopping money. All the mystery-woman asks is that Perry Mason make himself available for a few days in case she needs him - for what purpose, she remains silent as a grave. In fact, his headstrong client is headed for disaster - not only into a blackmailer's clutches but into a lethal trap from which not even Perry Mason's brilliant courtroom sorcery may be able to extricate her. Alive, anyway...

Members Reviews:

I plead guilty to reading Perry Mason!

I have become enamored with reading the Perry Mason books and intend to read all of the books available. It appears that Amazon has most if not all, although this has become an expensive hobby.

Each book is different enough from another (other than all being murder mysteries and you always know the client) that you can't figure out the theory of each case until the last chapter.

Lots of fun and, to use an old expression, pulp fiction.

Good "Whodunit" plot

Although this is a later Erle Stanley Gardner Perry Mason story it is still very worthwhile reading. Good "Whodunit" plot, some comments on human nature and our system of justice, very minimal moralizing and a lot of entertainment. Very quick read.

The case of the father nebulous fake

I have been reading these perry mason books for over fifty years and I never get tired of them. They are true whodonits

MASON WINS AGAIN

Had not read this book in 45 years. Returning to it was like visiting with a long ago friend, familiar but still surprising. Gardner can do no wrong. So. Why hasn't Hollywood adapted any of the last Mason novels to film?

Not one of his best.

I really didn't enjoy this story. I just could not see why perry mason would even her involved. Seemed a little forced

Secretary Susan Fisher has to call in Perry Mason when she finds her boss's seven-year-old son holding a shoebox stuffed with hundred-dollar bills. Miss Corning's life is at risk.

Members Reviews:

Keeps up the pace!

The intrigue starts almost immediately and the pace is maintained. True to form, Mason tries to manipulate the situation and skims the legal boundary closely to protect his client and find the real culprit/s. It is somewhat different from the other novels of his and so deserves a good rating.

Reads like a badly done "search and replace"

I do not give a higher rating because of the number of printing mistakes. Every time where it should be "coming" appears "corning", maybe because one of the main characters is called Miss Corning!..... Reads like a badly done "search and replace".

good service

even though the eastern United States was covered in ice and transportation was stalled the book came in 1 1/2 weeks...slower than other books from this company...but I had to take the ice storm into consideration. I would for sure recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of book...and FYI the book was in perfect condition

Good read

Perry Mason murder mysteries are a fast read. They are very dated now, but I still like to read them. This particular one was well crafted and kept me guessing until about 3/4 of the way through the story.

Great book!

Great story! I always enjoy the Perry Mason mysteries and this story was up to my expectations. I would recommend it to those who enjoys these types of novels.

Enjoyed the book. I did guess who the murderer was early on. Many red herrings to throw readers off the scent.

It's been a while between reading the book and this review. But this novel had some interesting plot variation that made it a really good book. If you've read a lot of Perry Mason novels, then you know that they often follow a similar style in how the plot advances. This one was one of those that are somewhat unique. The 'Glass Eye' is another one...maybe the best one.

If you enjoy reading Erle Stanley Gardner and his Perry Mason expansive series of books, this is typical... and provides a nice afternoon or evening back into the "good ole days" of courtroom drama .... Personally I enjoy Garndner's AA Fair series with Lam and Cool ... but this was a nice read ... can't complain

Five Stars

Interesting story line.

Good relaxation with old friends

Perry Mason is always a lovely read. Good relaxation with old friends. Some plots are more contrived than others, but the dynamics of Gardner's thinking are always fun to follow.

Good book

This is the version that should have become a television episode.

Five Stars

book as described and arrived quickly.

Wonderful

I loved it! I can't wait to read the next book. Thanks again for another fabulous read.

Totally authentic, delightful narration

What made the experience of listening to Mysterious Affair at Styles, with a Bonus Interview! the most enjoyable?

James Warwick, is superb - he does about fifty characters and sounds like you imagine Hastings would sound - and also the interview at the end between James Warwick and Alison Larkin is fantastic.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes! It's an exciting story!

Which character as performed by James Warwick was your favorite?

Hastings I think. He is the narrator of the story and it's like it's really him talking.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Hercule Poirot - The Beginning.

Any additional comments?

It's so good. I also really loved Alison Larkin's narration of The Secret Adversary also and as James Warwick starred in the t.v. version of The Secret Adversary with Francesca Annis it was such a treat to hear them talking at the end. Just wonderful entertainment.

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Classic Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Thirteen authors, including Gail Z. Martin, David Gerrold, and Jonathan Maberry, come together to pen short stories innovating Sherlock Holmes, adapting and revolutionizing the iconic character.

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most iconic and lasting figures in literature. His feats of detection are legendary, and he continues to capture audiences today in stories, movies, and on TV. In this new anthology, The Baker Street Irregulars, authors present the celebrated detective in more than a dozen different, wildly entertaining new ways.

In Ryk Spoor's thrilling "The Adventures of a Reluctant Detective", Sherlock is a re-creation in a holodeck. In Hildy Silverman's mesmerizing "A Scandal in the Bloodline", Sherlock is a vampire. Heidi McLaughlin sends Sherlock back to college, while Beth Patterson, in the charming "Code Cracker", turns him into a parrot.

The settings are as varied as Russia in the near-future, a dystopian world, a reality show, and an orchestra. Without losing the very qualities that make Sherlock so illustrious a character, these authors spin new webs of mystery around their own singular riff on one of literature's truly singular characters.

Worst of the Worst

I have never been so bored or appalled at any collection of supposed Holmes stories! This is barely coherent as it is a collection of poorly conceived ideas, idiot premises and less than stellar narration. Do not waste your time or credits for this travesty.
