Jonas Pickett, solicitor and commissioner of oaths, leaves London to set up a practice in a genteel Sussex resort. This collection of nine inter-linked stories tell the stories of his clients: from a retired Admiral to the queen of the gypsies.

Michael Francis Gilbert (1912- 2006) is recognized as one of the most versatile British mystery writers. He was a lawyer in London for many years and at one point had Raymond Chandler as his client. He wrote almost every sort of mystery and thriller. He wrote police procedurals, spy novels and short stories, courtroom dramas, classical mysteries, crime novels, and almost every possible combination of these, all with the same competence and dry, detached wit. Gilbert was a founding member of the British Crime Writers Association, Named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America and was named Number 24 on The Telegraph's "50 crime writers to read before you die".

This was a Michael Gilbert book new to me. The linked short stories worked well in audio format and I very much liked the narration.

Most enjoyable

I have listened to other Michael Gilbert and enjoyed them, but this is my favourite, the narrator is clear and easy to listen to.
Sorry there are no others by this author on Audible.

Enjoyed this immensely

A great collection of short stories by Michael Gilbert, one of the great writers of detective fiction - in fact one of the greatest. As a barrister he was excellently placed to write court-room and police procedural novels.
His characters are very well-drawn and his plots are gripping. Rather more modern than Agatha Christie, I find his work infinitely more believable and cannot understand why so few of them are available on Audible or Kindle.
