From AudioFile
Monsieur René, a retired concierge in Geneva, is the PermanentPresident of the International Brotherhood of Concierges and HallPorters. At age 70, he is bored. Believing that hotel employees canlearn more about hotel guests than any police organization, MonsieurRené soon becomes a one-man investigative force, working closely withthe Geneva Chief of Police. Author/narrator Peter Ustinov has a greatdeal of fun early on, when his cast of potential hotel-based spiesincludes an Italian, a Brit, a Spaniard, and a German, each speakinghis own brand of accented English. Few narrators are as linguisticallyversatile. As the tale proceeds, the number of voices is reduced, andwe settle down to always identifiable voices. Ustinov fans will beentranced, and all listeners will be thoroughly entertained.R.E.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
