The Secret Passage |
|---|
Excellent murder mystery. On September 9, 1905, the NY Times Saturday Review of Books described this book as follows: “That painstakingly ingenious person, Fergus Hume, has devised another of his hide-and-seek, jack-o’-lantern murder mysteries. It begins with a queer and rich old woman found stabbed to death in her chair and not a clue to the murderer. Then so many clues turn up that even the story-book detective is bewildered.

Reviewer: Jane Bowtell - September 13, 2018 Subject: The Secret Passage It certainly had a lot of excitement about it but there are a great deal of improbable happenings and a lot crammed into the last two chapters which spoiled it a bit for me. Some of the readers made it difficult to concentrate, especially chapters 20-23, please make sure you can read clearly and in fluent English before you attempt to read these books. |

Reviewer: ROLANDA - August 9, 2018 Subject: SECRET PASSAGE The constant changing of narrating voices has me abandoning this book in the middle. It's hard to follow when the voice constantly changes. |

Reviewer: Bernie - September 13, 2014 Subject: The Secret Passage A clever story but the quality of several of the readers leaves a lot to be desired and detracts from the story severely. |

Reviewer: Andy - September 9, 2014 Subject: the secret passage Good story though a little disturbed by the anti-Semetism Also the readers insistence on calling the character Basil using the American version of the herb I found grating, have they never seen Fawlty Towers? |

Reviewer: Ardnut - March 18, 2014 Subject: The Secret Passage Great story, characters, and twists. Beware of the different voices for different chapters....especially chapter 17 voice. It took away from the flow of the story. |
