Resumen del Editor

Boston Police inspector and undercover international spy F. X. Flynn is back in this third rollicking installment of the Flynn series.

Finding himself in a complicated and sensitive dilemma, Police Commissioner Eddy D'Esopo summons Inspector Flynn to an extravagant country house hidden deep in the woods, cleverly disguised as a hunting and fishing lodge and aptly named the Rod and Gun Club. Unfortunately, Flynn hasn't been called up for a weekend of leisure, he's there to solve the mystery surrounding the death of a young and promising congressman.

Filled with America's eccentric, uber-rich, and powerful elites, all fiercely dedicated to the club's secrecy, Flynn is quick to discover that this is no ordinary hunting man's getaway, and just as he begins to uncover conflicting evidence, another member is found brutally murdered.

Murder at the Rod and Gun Club

As Flynn is in the midst of investigating a hit and run in Boston, he gets a call from the police commissioner summoning him out of town. Flynn arrives at an exclusive member’s only club for the wealthy to discover one of its members has "committed suicide". As Flynn quickly determines, the death is not suicide, and the death scene has been tampered with including moving the body away from the original crime scene. Before long, other members are killed off and the remaining group go through great pains to cover up every crime.

As more and more members expire, the mystery of who did it and why the cover up keeps Flynn busy. As always, the Flynn wit and unique style work to frustrate those around him including “Grover” who is tasked with investigating the hit and run in Flynn’s absence. Some of the best dialogue is between Flynn and Grover as their lack of any mutual respect is clearly obvious.

My only complaint with this particular outing was the number of participants involved. It was difficult keeping straight who was who as the plot moved forward and dead bodies mounted up. Donald Corren does his usual fine job with the narration especially catching the Irish brogue of our lead, Inspector Flynn. As a Plus Catalog entry, Flynn’s In is a winner. Enjoy

Could have been another sequel to Knives Out.

In all honesty I really hate the fact that this is the penultimate book. Bummer.

Always Something Going on.

Who could guess all the action revolving around one little story? I was taken in by every step along the way. No one trusted anyone else. The police were just as leery as anyone else.

Really enjoyed this….

I thought this was a terrific story with enough humor and suspense to keep me parked in the driveway listening. Excellent narration too. I have really enjoyed the Flynn series so far.

Donald Corren brings Flynn to life.

Entertaining murder mystery with lots if twists and who dun it trickery, but Donald Corren’s portrayal of Flynn makes this entire series an enjoyable listen and one of my most favorite literary characters of all time. Reasons that any Grover should disagree should be obvious to those in the know.

Great series!

I only wish there were more books about Francis Xavier Flynn. What a fantastic character!

Great series

Nice parlor mystery by mr Macdonald. Great story and some ahead of its time social commentary
