Murder, Maestro, Please

0.0 (0)

Jane and Dagobert Brown are traveling on a lonely road in the Pyrenees on their way to a music festival when they become the targets of a mysterious sniper. Surviving one hazard, they soon encounter another later that night, when their attractive niece involves them in a complicated romantic wrangle with a rather dubious character. Mystery follows mystery, as Russian spies, stolen bicycles, a child prodigy with a weakness for ice cream, and the maestro himself, a renowned harpsichordist with a disconcerting penchant for liquor, create an awfully complicated vacation for the Browns.

No mourning for the matador

0.0 (0)

Barcelona is the colourful background of Jane and Dagobert Brown's Spanish adventure. They attend a bullfight; a matador is killed through an unusual and momentary lack of concentration. He is Denis St. John, El Inglés to the enthusiastic crowd, but to Jane quite unmistakably an Irishman. Dagobert's extraordinary behaviour in a night club solves the mystery of the matador's unlikely death — they had both been given the same cigarettes, which happened to be 'reefers.' Involved in unravelling the mystery, Dagobert encounters the dead matador's prospective father-in-law who does not seem unduly upset. "No mourning, in fact, for the matador," quips Dagobert.
