Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-04 00:00:00 Alvin Manz Jr I would rate the four novels as so; The Great Tontine- An interesting idea and not without its merits, but ultimately too slow and boring. 2 stars. The Roma Express- A must read for fans of inspector Maigret in that it makes the French authorities seem utterly ridiculous which is the opposite of Maigret. Intriguing enough with a nice twist. 3 stars. The Fog- Nice, clean story with some suspense and several layers. 4 stars. The Beetle- A must read. Great story arc, creepy as hell and surprisingly witty. I loved it. 5 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-16 00:00:00 Sorial Mark Enjoyable tales, two of which were romances disguised as villanies. In the Fog proved to be my favorite. The Victorians have an excellent ability to meander, especially in romances. Extremely low body count between the four stories - one Lee Child or Robert Ludlum story would surpass the four books collected here. We used to be richer in terms of interesting vices than we are now.
