Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Murder on the Leviathan (Erast Fandorin Mysteries #3)

Tipping his hat to Agatha Christie, Boris Akunin’s latest page-turner transports the reader back to the glamorous, dangerous past in a richly atmospheric tale of suspense on the high seas.

Paris, 1878: Eccentric antiquarian Lord Littleby and his ten servants are found murdered in Littleby’s mansion on the rue de Grenelle, and a priceless Indian shawl is missing. Police commissioner "Papa" Gauche recovers only one piece of evidence from the crime scene: a golden key shaped like a whale. Gauche soon deduces that the key is in fact a ticket of passage for the Leviathan, a gigantic steamship soon to depart Southampton on its maiden voyage to Calcutta. The murderer must be among its passengers.

In Cairo, the ship is boarded by a young Russian diplomat with a shock of white hair—none other than Erast Fandorin, the celebrated detective of Boris Akunin’s The Winter Queen. The sleuth joins forces with Gauche to determine which of ten unticketed passengers on the Leviathan is the rue de Grenelle killer.

Tipping his hat to Agatha Christie, Akunin assembles a colorful cast of suspects—including a secretive Japanese doctor, a professor who specializes in rare Indian artifacts, a pregnant Swiss woman, and an English aristocrat with an appetite for collecting Asian treasures—all of whom are contained together until the crime is solved. As the Leviathan steams toward Calcutta, will Fandorin be able to out-investigate Gauche and discover who the killer is, even as the ship’s passengers are murdered, one by one?

Already an international sensation, Boris Akunin’s latest page-turner transports the reader back to the glamorous, dangerous past in a richly atmospheric tale of suspense on the high seas.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books Murder on the Leviathan (Erast Fandorin Mysteries #3)

I accidentally read/listened this first before books 1 & 2, whoops! And having started with book 3, I am actually surprised to see that Erast Fandorin is the series's main character...as this was really a multi-character book, and I didn't see him stand out/apart from the other characters until he solved the whole murder mystery at the end. Actually, I would say I thought "Papa" Gauche was our main for a long time.I don't generally like murder mysteries (I don't not like them either, I just

I'm already a fan of the Erast Fandorin mysteries, and this one didn't change my opinion at all. Police commissioner Gauche, on the trail of a vicious murderer and thief, collects a small group of travelers journeying from Europe to Japan by luxury steamship, believing his culprit is among them. Fortunately for him, Fandorin is after the same thing, because "Papa" Gauche isn't as good an investigor as he believes. And Fandorin is.I particularly liked how the story is told from different

This is a classic cozy-mystery, in the style of Agatha Christie. Fandorin is on board a ship to Japan, the set of suspects and location is fixed, and we're treated to whodunnit style plot twists. A great mix of Christie and Russian culture.Note that this is one of those books where the ebook really misses out on typographical wizardry. The sections written from the POV of the Japanese character are printed sideways, to mimic Japanese print.What to ExpectEach novel is written as a different type

Before the Leviathan leaves France on its maiden voyage, a wealthy man and his ten servants die at the hands of a murderer who leaves behind his ticket for passage on the steamship. Police commissioner Gauche boards the vessel, identifying ten suspects whom he manages to get assigned to the same salon. Will he or the stuttering Russian detective Erast Fandorin be the one to solve the mystery? Additional murders occur aboard.I listened to the audiobook and the stutter nearly drove me crazy at

Steamship Leviathan has successfully revived the atmosphere of the criminal genre that Agatha Christie greatly popularized in the last century. The Russian flavor in shape of insepctor Erast Fandorin gives story enough freshness to an old closed enviroment from where eccentric characters from all over the world can not escape. Easy to read, novel offers great fun and memorable adventure for which you will want to last longer.

I've got really hooked on Fandorin now. Yes, the end of the story is extremely far fetched, but other than that it's great fun. Nice to have a Russian for once show the English and the French how it's done. Hope he gets to do it to the Americans as well in the books to come
