Another nail-biting murder investigation for Inspector Cullot, and his world-famous Murder Squad. As well as Inspector Cullot himself, as suave, debonair and ruthless as ever, we meet again the beautiful, sophisticated Stephanie Gorge, Cullotâs own daughter; Cullotâs faithful sidekick, Sergeant Watkins; and the perpetually baffled PC Blunt⊠They are engaged in a race against time to find the murderers of three wealthy men, gruesomely dispatched in three of the poshest apartments in London. Amongst the array of suspects are a collection of gorgeous women, and men, from across Europe. Does the key to unlocking this case turn on the nationality of the victims, and suspects? And whatâs the relevance of the colour of the victimsâ socks? And what is the role in this affair of Janice Butler, ex-Hollywood movie star, and the love of Inspector Cullotâs life? Is stunningly beautiful Stephanie, Cullotâs daughter, romantically involved with one of the prime suspects? Greater urgency is given to the squadâs investigations when Stephanie is kidnapped. Unless she is rescued, she runs the risk of being added to the list of gory victims. Is Cullot up against the most relentlessly vicious of his opponents, and possibly the most infamous gang ever known in the annals of the history of crime? How will he react to his daughter being in mortal danger? How will Sergeant Watkins manage to carry out his duties, tormented as he is by his burning love and desire for Stephanie? How will PC Blunt ever find out what is going on? A mass of bewildering clues, and probably the worldâs greatest ever analytical mind, come together in the unfolding of one of the Inspectorâs most baffling cases, rising to a crescendo of drama, suspense, intrigue and nail-biting tension in one of Londonâs swankiest and most luxurious districts. Can you home in on the vital clues, disregard the red herringsâŠand spot the killerâŠor killers?
This book has a motley cast of characters. Inspector Cullot reminds me of Hercule Poirot but with a sense of humor and patience to deal with his silly team. Collot's daughter, Stephanie, plays a beauty who flaunts her body at every chance. Sergeant Watkins enjoys beautiful women as evidenced by his over-the-top treatment of Hilda. The last of the group is poor PC Blunt who is lost by the fancy wordplay of the others. However, sometimes, common sense is more useful than posh and polish.The myster
Classic 5 Star Read!Very well written, The Case Of The Torn Yellow Socks by Alan Hardy is a witty piece of fiction if I do say so for myself. And I thoroughly enjoyed the authors style of story telling because it really took me out of my reality; I felt at times placed along with a cast of likable characters in amusing comic mystery. Bravo!
Another outing for Inspector Cullot and his squad, up against murder and criminal gangs again. Full of twists and turns, and laugh-out-loud moments. Plenty of wit, thrills and suspense. With some great characters, and plot-twists.
