Dr Gideon Fell: Collected Cases Audiobook by John Dickson Carr

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com [http://hotaudiobook.com] Title: Dr Gideon Fell: Collected Cases Subtitle: Classic Radio Crime Author: John Dickson Carr Narrator: Donald Sinden, John Hartley, full cast Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-17 Publisher: BBC Digital Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Classic Detective Publisher's Summary: Donald Sinden stars as eccentric amateur sleuth Gideon Fell in these two full-cast BBC radio dramatisations of stories by John Dickson Carr. One of the preeminent detectives of crime fiction's golden age, Dr Gideon Fell is stout, jovial and fond of beer and band music. However, he also possesses a razor-sharp mind and extraordinary powers of deduction, which are frequently put to the test as he is called upon to solve seemingly impossible crimes. Created by the master of the locked-room mystery, John Dickson Carr, Dr Fell appeared in 23 novels, several short stories and plays and numerous radio adaptations. These two dramas, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1997, see him embroiled in two inexplicable cases that have the police baffled. In The Hollow Man, two murders are committed by someone who appears to be both invisible and lighter than air while in The House in Gallows Lane, the peaceful English countryside of 1936 is disrupted by an alarming fortune-teller - and a mysterious death. These thrilling dramatisations star Donald Sinden as Gideon Fell with John Hartley as Hadley. Classic Radio Crime: presenting vintage detectives for your investigation! Members Reviews: Very enjoyable This is excellent entertainment. If you fancy something short that will keep you guessing and engage - these two episodes will be perfect for you. They invite to sitting at the fire with some knitting with their old English charm. The mysteries are not overly complex, but very pleasant listening. FANTASTIC DR GIDEON DOES IT AGAIN Good plain old fashioned English sleuthing at its best. Thoroughly enjoyed these two plays which had you guessing keeping you on your toes as each of the characters are put through their paces. I got both plots right in the end which is not a discredit to the writer nor the plot. I think Dickson Carr intentionally gives away certain little details as it his way of drawing in the listener and keeping the mind focused, involving the listener all the way through, which is fantastic little trick. Good old (Sir) Donald Sinden superb as always with his upper crust deep vocals and cheeky wit steels the whole show playing the part of the sleuth to aplomb. This is a splendid full cast production. Let us hope more will be found as these are how great sleuthing should be. Entertaining I found these to be very enjoyable indeed. Clever stories that were well performed by the actors.

Bryant & May - Wild Chamber Audiobook by Christopher Fowler

The method of the death is odd...the killer had no way in - or out - and the dog is nowhere to be seen. But the 'hows' and 'whys' of the murder are not the only mysteries, and it seems very likely that the killer is preparing to strike again. Critic Reviews: "Devilishly clever." (Val McDermid, on Bryant and May: Strange Tide) "Quirky, touching, profound and utterly original." (Peter James) Members Reviews: Not your usual Parks and Gardens book Wild Chamber, the latest Bryant and May book and as fascinating as ever in one of my favourite series. Each book can be read as a standalone but I believe for most enjoyment they are best read in order, or at least begun earlier in the series. A vast history of the Peculiar Crimes Unit and the various relationships of its' members and associates has built up over many years and adds immeasurably to the overall pleasure. Some particular comments or unexpected characters in a book as far along as number fourteen may seem strange to a new reader. A long and complex investigation here, involving several murders, but that is what we have come to expect and it didn't disappoint. I am delighted that Arthur Bryant has survived his treatment and enjoyed the way that he uses his 'hallucinations' for some apt references from the past to help his thinking fall into place. This time we also learned about the many London Parks and green spaces to add to the wealth of London lore we gain from every single book. It was also a warning to keep our attention drawn on the threat that real life developers are posing to these precious green spaces and our need to protect them. Tim Goodman as always the perfect narrator, he has portrayed every single one of the many characters become old familiar friends . Thank you, Mr Fowler,sir, you are a master craftsman and I suspect there are echoes of yourself in Arthur, although hopefully not the hoarding of food in your pockets. Long may it continue. Love it I love the whole Bryant and May series. I learn some good London history while enjoying a mystery that I can't figure out until the end. I like this series I like British. I like police procedurals. Combining these in the Peculiar Crimes Unit gives me the best of both. This book focuses, more than some in the series, on solving murders. The fascinating histories color the police work leading the reader to surprises. Then. quietly, the ending spells out. Great Series - fun characters, interesting plots I stumbled on the Bryant and May series in the library (public) and had to read them all. This is the latest and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The reader does a super good job - which isn't easy as there are so many voices and they are all British. I like wry British humor, and there is plenty in this book, as well as the others. I've read all the rest, and think this may be the best of them all. Also, the fun way the administrator is portrayed warms the heart of anyone who has worked for a clueless, bumbling boss. Most of us have had that experience, and the memo at the beginning warms my heart. They just keep getting better. This is my favorite detective series ever.
