Can anyone explain the creosote fake cigar? It sounds disgusting.

Tony, is that your voice??

Masterful, thought-provoking, on all levels. Love the story, accents, commentary. Much needed, much appreciated, Tony. Thank you. Agree with you on TrueCrime.

Thank you. Enjoyed another of your storytelling session. Well narrated 🎉

I don't think we are completely misdirected. Margaret says in the story he isn't sure which one is Stan and he goes on to then count off each person with Lucas. That is when I figured out who he was. That is misdirection for pre-war France, though. Hope you will do more Maigret stories!

Enjoyed the reading and especially the thought-provoking insights afterwards, Tony. More, please. 👏🏻

Thank you for the commentaries. They add to the story for me 😊

Not heard this one before, thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks dude

Echoey 👎

Intelligent well spoken talented self possessed likable high class narrator 👍

Wow, Tony, I have listened to this book at another UA-cam channel and I will just tell you the Reader makes all the difference! you really bring all your stories to life. Love it! I tell all my friends that I go to bed with Tony Walker every night L O L! Don’t worry, I’m 72, and quite content not chasing after men big smile, I often fall asleep at night and have to figure out where I left off and finish the story in the morning. You’re really the best! Thanks. 2:38

Good story! Fantastic narration ❤❤

Your teeth coming in are painful -- but they're just as painful coming out as well.😅 I've said it many times before but I'll say it one more time: I love the commentary, the sleeping dogs, the page turnings and the teething grandchild. I wouldn't take your channel any other way. As for the story I knew it would be good, being one of your narrations, but this one felt even more immersive. I thoroughly enjoyed the foreign (to me) aspect along with all the incredible accents -- as well as the dry humor so rarely featured in American boilers. To this homogenized American, the old Paris Ghetto holds quite a bit of romance. As always, thank you so much for your time and hard work. Love to Sheila, the dogs, kids, grand-kids, the scrapman, random parakeets and everyone else whose generosity forms the part of you that your audience has the good sense to engage with. Live long, Tony Walker.

Excellent, Tony. Appreciated the different accents. Also enjoyed the ramble after. Thank you.

This reminds me eerily of the Brabant killers. Edit: I wrote this before you said you dislike true crime, disregard this 😂😅

Love detective stories across the various genres. Simonen was a genius. Well rendered. Greetings from Australia.

I've never heard of this story...What a delightful treat for the weekend ✨️ Thank you, Mr. Walker 🎉

Lots of the American detectives were posh amateurs also, Ellery Queen, Philo Vance etc.

Nice reading Tony, the story was a good one also.

I actually think Christie was trying to make a comment about older men pursuing younger women for sex by painting his inner thoughts about her as rather absurd. He mourned the loss of her 17 year old beauty in a way that gives Lolita vibes. Agatha Christie was nearly 40 when she wrote this, I rather doubt that she agreed with the protagonist's pov.

Tony!

Just found you and loved your reading. New subscriber here 😊

💕💕💕💕💕

Well, I never! How dare that criminal Shoot Dr. Watson 😠 I can't believe I've not read this one before. 😂😂

"Dash" is certainly a cool name! I imagine he used his life experience as a Pinkerton's Man and before. He may have started writing at 40, but he has life rather than imagination to call on. Thanks Tony, and thanks Michael - nice one. I'll be passing this one on to my big brother!

Thanks for sharing and welcome back! I enjoy detective stories with a railway setting.

Thank you!

Wonderful story! Great narrator!

The plot was a little obvious (for me), but the narration was spot on, and made it an absolute pleasure to listen to.

Love this story and anything by Hammett or Chandler is great by me; icons of noire.

Hey Tony! I really enjoy everything you did on the segment. How you were explaining about the history of the authors and the difference in U.S. vs. European detectives. Also, I like that you mess up about, "You want women". Funny! Please repeat information, since I can not remember things well. Also, the narrator, was good, I would mind listening to him again. Nothing to be critical about. Please continue. I like listening to these. Thank you!

Vert well narrated, thanks so much! Bio notes are very much appreciated

Thank you. Black screen would be very useful

I don't think she withholds information from the reader. There are no sudden strangers who appear at the end. She puts in all the clues, but does not give the proper interpretation, often allowing a character like Hastings to express an incorrect meaning, Even in Roger Ackroyd, she has the doctor say, "I did what needed to be done...." without spelling out the specifics. I love the way she fools me, sometimes even on re-reading. But when l do remember the murderer, it's fun to re-read and see how skillfully she constructs the plot. She was an amazing writer!

Who is the reader?

Thank you!

Speaking of class dynamics, the British couldn’t do it better. The British BBC did a beautiful series on “The Plantagenets” that I’m pretty sure is free to watch today. It was filmed as a series in the seventies I think. Although Canadian, I lived in England for two years and I enjoyed all of their shows and mini-series they did - wonderful actors ! 🙏❤🫠

We want your voice not these turkeys

The music speaks volumes ❤🎉

Another fantastic story 👏🏾

Algorithm hit . Great job, gents.

"Morally failed," what a great turn of phrase. I always look forward to Saturday to see what you've posted!

The original tough guy, the Continental Op.

Music is great too

Lolo oh my gosh, what a great phrase! Morally complex

Also love your bios and info at the end

I am enjoying your channel, thank you very much. It brings me great pleasure. 👍🥂

Good story, well narrated. Thank you, Michael, for narrating. Thank you, Tony, for coordinating. The audio seemed to have an annoying (to me) echo, as if recorded in an empty room or a tunnel. These things happen. We get through and move on. I did wonder, briefly if the echo was connected to the TBI; however, I listened to other videos with no echo.

I like this narrator

Love this-true hard boiled! Of course, there is the dick that can write down the number plate number without taking his hand out of his pocket, a pistol-firing flapper, in San Francisco with a view of Twin Peaks, who overpowers her gangster boyfriend and at the same time bamboozling her bent, tycoon dad into giving her precisely what she wants and all the while out maneuvering the press. Brilliant! Great narration with all those different voices! Thanks to both of you, Michael, Tony, for a very enjoyable experience!!!!!
