Unless a doctor did the amputation wouldn't one bleed to death. 1:46:58

Very ungrateful of those who are bitching about one or the other things in this wonderful story.

Tldr: Man becomes a sailor for work, gets excited around the tribal cannibals he works with in an Ivory trade, meets a guy named Kutz who has this trade empire built around ivory and is really full of himself. Main character doubts the Kutz flare at first but after working with him a while falls for his dashing charms, eventually getting to hold him as he dies. He returns home to harbor after his death and delivers Kutz's final words to some girl and realizes he kinda cucked himself.

I'm 2:09:00 in and so far I'm getting some tribal sympathy fetish vibes.

Superb. Especially enjoyed the historical events being woven in, and the afterword was quite appreciated. Big fan of your work.

I couldn't get further than part way through chapter three of this. Monotonous narration I can manage, but this story needed serious editing. Quite apart from the implausibility of the stepfather sending the girls to work as barmaids, and other socially unlikely situations, there is far too much padding, amid a narrative stuffed with textual anachronisms to set one's teeth on edge. Would a young woman in the 1880s be wasting time telling her dying sister that she must be affected by the action of hormones during pregnancy? Especially since the action of hormones was not discovered until the early 1900s? The writing of a mystery is one thing, but if you are going to set it in a past era, then it is also historical fiction. That involves a lot of research particularly concerning cultural and linguistic norms, screening out anything which is not of its time. I appreciate that a lot of work goes into extending the stories of fictional characters, but it has to be believable even within its own context.

Thank you so much!!

You are giving joy. Thanks a lot.

Excellent

the narrator mispronounces so many common words ! does not ruin a good story though.

Just noting that this translation appears to be the one by john ormsby Hope that helps for anyone who wants to listen along with text

The crocodile tears and the Pink Panther diamonds. Delightful.

Brilliant story, great reader, and an extra bonus, no annoying adverts 👍👍

Nice twist. Good story. Like that episode of Gunsmoke where Marshall Dillon has been getting pestered all week by the little Billy kid.

Micheal Segrue brought me here!

If only we had had this when I had those hard times reading and studying for O-level. Ironically we also had Animal Farm that year, the 20th Century symbolism story.

Very good. There is a mistake at 50 minutes in where the lady of the house says that the body of her husband, rather than the murder victim , was removed by the undertaker.

What "swagger of Americans " does this refer to? 76 years in the U.S. I have never seen such to date. Brits have a skewed take on us in some ways. As well they refer to us as "our American cousins" that we neither see or think in kind. Our connection in history being centuries ago, there is no closeness in our minds. With masses of immigrants nowadays, future generations will see themselves quite differently than we do now. U.S. does not teach much of anything about other countries or stay current from others' perspectives. My 3/4 cebtury's life experiences, born in Los Angeles, entails being in the 80 % in 1948 with that shifted to 30% nowadays. My Mom, living in Los Angeles for 6 decades from West Texas, said lately, in Brentwood, a pricey, exclusive part of town, she NO LONGER EVER hears ANY English spoken! As our schools do NOT teach school kids a second language......that seems queer and scary at home in ones decades old neighborhood. Life in the big city.

Did I miss which translation they are using?

7:24:00 Don Quixote’s deflection’s are incredible

Nathan Samuel is a jackass.

Excellent stories and very well read 😊

Excellent series well done!

Hiram Maxim home appliances.....har har... good one.

Why would Homes ask Watson to summon a doctor?

I so enjoy your stories and narration. So glad I found you.

I enjoyed the commentary at the end of the story. Thank you.

Great audiobook

The reader is very, very monotonous.

I like this reader's voice and diction, and I don't get too het up over how people pronounce Lovecraftian names. It's the perfectly standard English vocabulary items that get the odd -- even, let's say, "incorrect" -- pronunciations that I find kind of distracting, and detract from the listening experience.

Thank you

How NOTto read an audiobook. Dreadful

Very wordy, but I think about this story nearly every day.

I've been a fan of Sherlock Holmes since I was 12 years old, and I rode my bike to the local Woolworth's 5&10 store. I used my allowance to purchase my first S.H. novel, a picture book, and I was hooked. Now, 60 years later. I discovered these new novels. The author has done a great job with researching info that is incorporated in the stories. The narration is the icing on the cake. I'm hooked all over again. Thank you!

The narrator's indrawn breaths aren't QUITE enough to make me close the app, but are grating on my nerves badly. The thing that would make this worse is an American reader. I'm not a xenophobe. I'm a Texan born and raised myself, but I cannot listen to my countrymen butchering books, especially those by British authors. The continual gasping of Mr. Thomas runs a distant second.

This is seriously one of the most amazing stories ever man, it’s so great

You're kidding, right? Why would you think starting the book with a complete plot summary would be a good idea?

Brilliant stories and very well read thank you

This is unlike any Edgar Wallace I've ever read so I was prepared from the comments below to dislike it and tune out after a short time. But it is really funny and I'm enjoying it immensely! Recommend it heartily to Wallace readers who want to see him in a playful mood.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you. The prologue is a fascinating insight. I am a grateful fan

Here we go again. Father's message was spot on until he got to Fiducia Supplicans. This was a document that was not needed. Everyone can receive God's mercy, however, no repentance, no mercy. Fiducia Supplicans fell short because it did not call persons living in same sex relationships to repentance. If you commit adultery or fornication, repentance is also required for God's mercy. As Jesus said in John 8:11, "Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more." So many like to leave out the go and sin no more part. I understand why the priest has to tread lightly around the Fiducia Supplicans document. A number of clergy have been removed by Pope Francis from their positions and parishes for opposing the document. I admire the moral courage of those who did oppose it.
