Appleby Talks Again

By Michael Innes

Ralph Dangerfield, an Edwardian playwright who belonged to the smartest young set of his day, kept a scandalous diary recording the intimate details of his own life and those of his friends. After his death, it was believed that his mother had burnt the incriminating evidence, but fifty years later, a famous collector of literary curiosities claims to have the diary in his possession and threatens to blackmail fashionable London with belated secrets about people now in respectable old age. Sir John Appleby reveals how he uncovered this unscrupulous crime and talks about his key role in seventeen more intriguing cases.

Reviews for Appleby Talks Again

[vesper1931 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Where Inspector Appleby recounts some of his cases to a few of his friends over drinks. These are mainly very short stories, unfortunately too short to really get involved in the stories and characters. But enjoyable enough when you have a spare ten minutes to spend reading.
