About this listen
“Mr. Kendall, in the past few months there have been a number of doctors who have mysteriously disappeared, or whose deaths were either alleged to be accidents, or were suicides, or they were actually murdered.”
Kendall made a mental note to find out about these "other doctors".
“A number of doctors you said. How many are we talking about?”
Mrs. Eaton thought for a few moments.
“To my knowledge there have been at least eight cases in the past six months. There may be a whole lot more that I know nothing about.”
I made sure I finished it though and a pretty satisfactory conclusion.

In fact, it was Molly who pressured Kendall into agreeing to help a woman look for the truth behind the alleged accident of her doctor husband. He died when the brakes in his car failed and he ran headlong into a wall. She believed he'd been murdered. And his death was not the only one: several doctors had, in the past few weeks, either disappeared, been murdered, had an accident or suicided. Coincidence? Kendall didn't believe in coincidence, he said.
This book by John Holt is fun. Written with short, simple sentences, it is an easy read and with many of Kendall's thoughts fashioned as questions rather than statements ("It's not a crime, is it?" "It's none of our business, is it?"), although often irritating, it does give a personal immediacy. There is also résumé type repertition as the grouchy, coffee and cake loving detective slowly forms theories and attempts to find evidence.
Yes, it's slow paced, the main protagonist infuriating and the plot obvious, but there is something very comfortable and enjoyable, especially as read by narrator, Mark Sanford, slightly gruff voiced but clear and giving differentiated voices for the various characters. A good choice.
An unusual private eye story, very laid back and easy with the indecisive Kendall taking centre place, backed by the redoubtable Molly. Not for fast action fans, but good fun nevertheless and very enjoyable.
What's your point, Mr.Kendall?
