“It’s old Mr. Bartle, sir,” he whispered. “He’s in your room there — dead “ “Dead?” exclaimed Eldrick. “Dead “ Pratt shook his head again. “He came up not so long after you’d gone, sir,” he said. “Everybody had gone but me — I was just going. Wanted to see you about something I don’t know what. He was very tottery when he came in — complained of the stairs and the fog. I took him into your room, to sit down in the easy chair. And — he died straight off. Just,” concluded Pratt, “just as if he was going quietly to sleep “

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. A world-class schemer dominates this 1920 mystery By Patto Linford Pratt is a suave and clever law clerk looking for a chance to better himself. Opportunity knocks when he gets possession of a rich man's will that would mean the ruin of the present heirs. His thoughts turn to blackmail, since he assumes the wrongful heirs would pay a high price to hang onto their wealth.Pratt's personal hero is the subtle, wily diplomat Talleyrand. Self-interest is Pratt's guiding principle. We watch him pondering, planning and scheming his way through one complication after another. I was a little uncomfortable at first at spending so much time inside Pratt's unpleasant head. But we sense from the start that Pratt will get his comeuppance (since this is a mystery, not a tragedy). Watching Pratt's gradual and complex downfall is fun.There's a love story that thrives in the midst of Pratt's machinations. There are suspicious deaths and disappearances to keep things lively. And there are plenty of interesting characters. The investigators include a nice mix of amateurs and professionals - a clever old lawyer, a detective, a private inquiry agent, and a young man in love.The Talleyrand Maxim was first published in 1920. I enjoyed this book, although it's not my favorite J. S. Fletcher mystery. But Fletcher can always be counted on to tell a gripping tale. His mysteries were so popular in his day that they were stocked in abundance in railway bookstalls. A Fletcher mystery was the ideal quick read then, and still is.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Complex, twisty plotting By Khirul The more I read Fletcher the more I like him. Here multiple sleuths come together and unravel the snarls made by multiple villains. In the end, at least one villain gets off far too lightly, but overall satisfying.
