#2-The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu, by Sax Rohmer

Must Listen!
From Cindy C of Knob Noster, Missouri on 6/9/2019.

You can’t go wrong with a great audiobook performed by BJ! I say “performed,” not just “read,” because he brings the book to life. In this, the second Sax Rohmer Fu-Manchu tale in the opening trilogy, Dr. Petrie and Nayland Smith once again find themselves in the thick of the deadly treachery of Dr. Fu-Manchu. Today’s sensibilities may be shocked or even offended by the off-hand racism. Taken as a norm of the historic time, the action and drama are still gripping as this Sherlock-Watson-like pair . . .

Total Joy!

"The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu" is a total joy to listen to. It is escapism in its finest form. One close escape after another. You know our heroes will always survive, and you know the evil bad guy (Dr. Fu-Manchu) will somehow always elude certain death, but you don't know how.

The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu

Dr. Fu-Manchu is suddenly back. People are being killed and Western civilization itself is threatened. Will Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie be equal to the task? Why does the beautiful Karamaneh claim that she doesn't know them after all they have done for her and her brother? And why is she once again working for Dr. Fu-Manchu after being rescued by Smith and Petrie and escorted to Egypt?

I looked forward to doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen each night because it meant that I could . . .

Great listening! Thank you!

Classic
From David of Bloomington, Minnesota on 9/8/2014.

I originally purchased David Copperfield which had terrific production values and voice characters -- not to mention a pretty good story. Those values have continued in this entertaining mystery. I have thoroughly enjoyed both novels.
