About this listen

Christopher Kent, worth a quarter of a million pounds yet not a penny in his pocket, stands hungrily in Piccadilly one snowy morning looking up at the huge hotel when a piece of card bearing a number floats down to him.

He enters the hotel and is served with breakfast, giving the waiter the room number to charge. Then an unlucky chance compels him to go up to room 707. Inside a woman lies murdered in a trunk. Kent needs to prove his innocence fast and calls Dr Gideon Fell to investigate - but there’s been another murder, and Dr Fell must figure out what connects them.

Fantastic as usual! The narrator is excellent and the story is just what you'd want from Carr!

Excellent

I’m not sure if the narrator biased my opinion but his voice for Dr Fell turned me off the character and also the whole story. I found the plot very artificial and implausible but more than these points I thought the author played unfair on the reader by too contrived a motive and method for the murderer. But these things can be overlooked if you like the characters but alas I didn’t.

Hard to like
