All in all heavy responsibilities for a mere human to carry. They expect him to be perfect, solve his cases instantly, adore them, walk on water and raise the victims from the dead. It is surprising that his flaws are found to be so irritating to his comrades who love him. Chief Inspector Gamage is a real person, unlike Poirot, although balding and thoroughly mustached, he makes mistakes, apologizes, loves good food and a good woman, and is an all around a thoughtful and good human being. Amazon’s efforts, by making the first half available through Kindle free for the borrowing is a Herculean effort to call to my attention a better than Christie’s Poirot detective and it worked. Initially I was going to give four stars to punish the author for the publisher’s crime of not promoting this series in a more timely fashion, but that is pitifully petty.
