The Hindenburg Murders

by Max Allan Collins
Brilliance Audio, unabridged, December 2012, $49.97

As any fan of Simon Templar, the Saint, should know by now, this entry in the prolific Max Allan Collins’ Disaster Series (featuring crime writers solving murder mysteries in the midst of infamous catastrophes—i.e., Agatha Christie in The London Blitz Murders, Edgar Rice Burroughs in The Pearl Harbor Murders) has the debonair and witty Leslie Charteris, creator of the forever-modern Robin Hood, casting a monocled eye on suspicious goings-on aboard the starcrossed Zeppelin’s final flight. Feverishly paced, with characters both amusing and sinister, and dialogue snappy enough to have come from a Howard Hawks movie of the day, this audio is a sheer delight, enhanced in no small way by Simon Vance’s superb narration, providing spot on accents from the veddy British to Germanic grunts and all nationalities in between.
