About this listen

Here are five funny, entertaining, delectable mystery stories featuring Peter "Pit Bull" Geller, who may be a bit damaged physically (in an auto accident), but has lost neither his biting wit nor his keen sense of how the upper crust manages their criminal ways. Included are "Pit and the Pendulum", "Pit on the Road to Hell", "A Christmas Pit", "Dog Pit", and "Horse Pit" (winner of the Black Orchid Award from the Nero Wolfe Society and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine). Great story from a master storyteller!

I really enjoyed this collection of stories about a ‘crippled’ man and his ‘trick brain’. The narration was good, and the stories were entertaining. The only thing I would say is that they are a little repetitive in places - in every story we learn about Pit’s accident and get a recap of the previous story. It sounds like the stories were previously separate and have been brought together in this audiobook.
