Everything about this book was great. a perfect mysterious atmosphere. number of suspects and a little bit of thrill. but i was dissappointed in the grand finale. i was expecting some grander solution .some speculative surprise. As is a saying in hindi ""Khoda pahad nikla chuha"" (which means- dug a mountain, found a mouse) although the process of digging the mountain was enjoyable. excluding the conclusion this book would get 4-5 stars. ( ) Good opening --a forensic chemist walking home (on Great Russell Street, which I know well --near the British MUseum) is stopped by a young woman who asks him to go into an apartment to see what has happened to her father --he fids her father and three other people have been drugged with atropine, while their host has been stabbed the death. It seems their host had evidence each of the other people had committed a crime, and the question was which of these people had removed him. Dr. John Sanders, a serious young forensic scientist, is stopped by a pretty young girl late at night. Marcia Blystone asks him to accompany her to the top floor of a four-story building, to the apartment of Mr. Felix Haye, because she is afraid to go up alone. Before they reach the apartment, he finds an umbrella-swordstick with bloodstains on it, and they are immediately stopped by a clerk from the Anglo-Egyptian Importing Co. Ltd., one floor below Mr. Haye's flat. He mentions grumpily that Haye and his guests have been laughing uproariously and stomping their feet on the floor. When the couple finally enters Haye's flat, they find the host stabbed to death, and his three guests -- including Miss Blystone's surgeon father -- unconscious due to atropine poisoning. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Rez.: Der 1938 entstandene klassische Krimi, damals unter Carrs Pseudonym Carter Dickson veröffentlicht, setzt die Tradition der Pater-Brown-Geschichten G. K. Chestertons konsequent fort und variiert S. S. van Dines Thematik des Verbrechens in "geschlossenen Räumen" (locked-room-crime) auf überzeugende und intelligente Weise. 4 bekannte Londoner Persönlichkeiten treffen sich zu nächtlicher Stunde, man findet 3 von ihnen mit gefährlichen Vergiftungen, den Gastgeber jedoch erstochen in der Wohnung liegen. Chefinspektor Masters, mehr jedoch der brillante und durchtriebene Geheimdienstchef Sir Henry Merrivale, enträtseln den mysteriösen Fall um Gifte, verbrecherische Vergangenheit und 5 Schachteln mit Beweismaterial mit kluger Kombinatorik und gewiefter Verhörtatik. - Für alle Fans des klassischen Krimis Pflichtlektüre (vgl. zuletzt "Die Schädelburg": BA 8/91). Empfehlung für alle Bibliotheken.
