The Love Detectives Audiobook Summary
Mr. Satterthwaite and Colonel Melrose are comfortably ensconced in the Colonel’s study when the phone suddenly rings. Someone has been murdered, and, as the county chief constable, the Colonel lets Satterthwaite accompany him to the scene of the crime. The two of them have opposing opinions on why Sir James Dwighton has been bashed over the head with a blunt instrument. Rumor had it that red-haired beauty Laura Dwighton and her guest, the very attractive Mr. Paul Delangua, were engaged in an illicit affair, and Paul was thrown out by the disgruntled Sir James. But the facts of the murder all seem to add up too nicely, and then Mr. Quin arrives on the scene….

Sir James Dwighton is found dead, the victim of a vicious murder.His wife and her lover should be the obvious suspects but after they both clumsily confess to the murder in what looks like an effort of each to protect the other, the police begin to think that there may be someone else running around with a motive to kill.As you all know, things are never what they seem.Mr. Satterwaite is visiting his friend, Colonel Melrose, and the two of them tag along with the authorities to the site of the murder.

4 Stars. In trying to complete my readings and reviews of Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot novels and short stories, a task in itself, I keep bumping into Agatha Christie lesser characters. Parker Pyne, and now Harley Quin. This story first appeared in 1926 as "At the Crossroads" in "Flynn's Weekly" in the US. I read it under it's final name in the 2011 William Morrow edition of "Three Blind Mice and Other Stories" released in 1950. Quin is somewhat mysterious. He's an acquaintance of Mr. Satterthwaite. Chief Constable Colonel Melrose had been enjoying an evening with Satterthwiate when they were interrupted by a call reporting a gruesome murder; together they rush to Alderway to see who had bashed Sir James Dwighton over the head. In their haste they had a small fender-bender with Quin, and asked him to come along. The crime may be a love triangle. You know the usual, an older man, a beautiful and younger wife, and a secret suiter. But it starts to get complicated as the exact timing is confusing. And then everyone confesses! Too many guilty parties and not enough evidence. Oh there was one clue. Did you catch it? (March 2021)

Another delightful Quin/Satterthwaite short story. Mr. Quin's subtlety and powers of suggestion are quite clever. Christie shines in this format, including such rich detail that characters and setting come alive. I suspected how this English manor house mystery would resolve, but the journey was so much fun!

Harley Quin's short stories are really quite spectacular. They are lovely, philosophical, scientific as well as spiritual, and it gives you hope in humanity and love. I love the writing style as well. The friendship and the chemistry (platonic, of course) between Mr. Satterthwaite and Mr. Quin is very cute as well. They are friendship goals.

Oplæser: Hugh Fraser. God oplæsning. Hurtig læst novelle om et mord hvor der med vanlig Agatha Christie stil, er usikkerhed om hvem morderen er - og hvornår mordet blev begået. Hyggelig og underholdende. Med besøg af den sære Mr. Quin!

A neat, compact, dramatic story that suits the Harley Quin model perfectly. It was short. And it was highly enjoyable.Recommended.
