Book Reviews of The Mysterious Mr. Quin: Twelve Complete Mysteries
Book Review: Fascinatingly different mysteries
Summary: 5 Stars
Dame Agatha Christie is best remembered for her wonderful detectives Miss Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot. However, two other memorable Christie characters were the crime solving (and sometimes crime preventing!) duo of Harley Quin and Mr. Satterthwaite. Mr. Satterthwaite is an elderly bachelor and student of the human personality. Harley Quin is an almost magical character who pops up in strange circumstances and challenges Mr. Satterthwaite to review what he thinks he knows about a situation and see just what happened that he didn't originally see.
This wonderful audiobook contains a neat dozen of the Harley Quin stories, each of which are quite interesting, in a different sort of way. Hugh Fraser (who plays Captain Hastings in the excellent television productions of the Hercule Poirot mysteries) does an excellent job of reading for all of the characters. Now, if you are looking for Sherlock Holmes and neat logic, then you will be disappointed. But, if you are looking for some fascinatingly different mysteries, then this just might be the book for you. I highly recommend it!
