Historia
In "Murder at the Mousetrap," the first Bunburry book, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour. Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Exclusively from Audible. The Secret Agent is based on an actual attempt made in 1894 to blow up the Greenwich Observatory. A labyrinth of greed, corruption, and betrayal, it is the most darkly humorous of all Conrad's tales. It follows a European secret agent, Adolf Verloc, 'a London shop owner' with anarchist leanings who becomes reluctantly involved in a plot to blow up the Greenwich Observatory. Full of great characters, melodramatic irony and psychological intrigue the tale is far from simple....

Historia
Form-defining short stories. First published in 1914, James Joyce defined what the short story could be with his collection The Dubliners. A mixture of prose and poetry, each story can be listened to independently, or as a collection. From childhood to maturity, we see what life - and ultimately death - can be, via an extraordinary cast of characters, all of whom experience an epiphany. There’s Father Flynn, the priest; Evelyn, the shop girl who dreams of escape; Mrs Mooney, the butcher’s daughter, who runs a boarding house.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

If you love Sherlock Homes...
This book was just what I needed. Similar in style Homes, but with some different personality and character traits! Good mysteries (you may have to suspend a little of your disbelief at times, but as with others- sometimes that is what makes it fun!) Stephen Fry is fantastic and he could read a cookbook and I would enjoy it.

Fun, engaging vintage British mysteries
Stephen Fry is a fabulous narrator, and Ernst Bramah’s series of short stories starring his blind detective, Max Carrados, are very entertaining and interesting. They are a refreshing take on your classic British mystery. Apparently, Max Carrados ran concurrently with Sherlock Holmes, and is considered his only real competition. I can see why! I’m off to get all the other books I can.

The book leaves you wishing for more episodes. I like that each chapter was a story with closure into itself. But at the same time they were connected to a larger narrative. The narrator’s voice and styling fit the book perfectly.

Charming Early 20th Century Stories
This collection of stories, written in the early 1900's, is charming and highly engaging IF the listener is ready to give the book undivided attention. The stories are populated with interesting characters and unusual crimes presented as rather dense logic puzzles. Once I adjusted my expectations to fit the style and time period I really enjoyed my time with the charming Max Carrados. Stephen Fry's narration is perfection in this setting.
If you are looking for a plot with lots of action, sustained character development and stories which let the reader anticipate 'who dun it', then I don't recommend this book.

BUY IT FOR STEVEN FRY, BUT KNOW IT IS WONDERFUL
Any additional comments?
The Tales of Max Carrados are eleven short stories by Ernest Bramah set in the 1900's, featuring blind detective Max Carrados. The stories are mostly interesting, some better than others, and give the reader a glimpse of the world prior to the start of World War I.
Stephen Fry does his usual superb job narrating the stories, some of which, while resolving themselves, end abruptly. I caught myself having to rewind since I thought the next story was part of the previous one because of the abrupt ending. You may find, as I did that, that the most enjoyment can be had by reading a single story at a time, taking a short break, and then returning to listen to the next story.

Intriguing!
The tales were interesting although sometimes they seemed to end rather abruptly. Some of the antics of Max Carrados were difficult to believe. I kept expecting him to be exposed as a fraud and not really blind. Some of his actions seem too fantastical to be believed. How can you tell the color of wallpaper from touch or even smell.
Of course Stephen Fry did an amazing job. My only complaint is that his American characters had such annoying voices.
