4.0 out of 5 stars Saint Saga #21, October 30, 2008

This review is from: The Happy Highwayman (Paperback)

Nine short stories, the final collection in which the Saint is still clearly based in London.

Unlike some readers, I've always preferred the full-length Saint adventures and the "novellas". This set is up to the standard of previous pre-war short stories, though, my favourite being "The Wicked Cousin".

And in the creepy final tale, we meet again Ivor Nordsten, who figured so prominently in The Misfortunes of Mr. Teal.

P.S. For a list of -- and discussion of -- all Charteris's Saint books, see my So You'd Like To... Guide.
