Summary
Jack Havoc, jail-breaker and knife artist, is on the loose on the streets of London once again. In the faded squares of shabby houses, in the furtive alleys and darkened pubs, the word is out that the Tiger is back in town, more vicious and cunning than ever.
It falls to Albert Campion to pit his wits against the killer and hunt him down through the city's November smog before it is too late.

Slow and Tedious.
I remember the eccentric and amusing plots of other books. So tedious and wordy this offering.

Not enthralling
Does not have the humour of the earlier Campion books. Was just another post war mystery.

Brilliant as always.
Margery Alingham's Campian books, brilliant as always. My only complaint is that I just have to keep listening, whatever the hour.

Amazing psychological thriller.
I love her books and this is the all time best. David Thorpe does a great job here, his rather crisp, detached reading allows the force of the insights and the vitality of the characters to shine. The scene with the Canon and Havoc in the church is unforgettable.

Really good up until the end.
Really enjoyed it up until the end which was awfully disappointing. Really good characters, excellent narration but such a let down at the end. First book by this author I have read, not sure I will bother with another.

part of this story was on TV about 40 years ago .
Where does The Tiger in the Smoke rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
in the top half - its a good story and well read.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
As with many Audio books, the end is ruined by the production company announcing who they are IMMEDIATELY at the end of the story, thus one cannot remember how the story ended, and my end of story meditation is ruined.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I liked the Vicar - his encounter with the villain was brave,
Any additional comments?
I may go back and read more of this series.

The Tiger in the Smoke
This one goes a bit off track as Campion is not the first person, but the victims are, so it seems a bit disjointed at times. But then you would not get the whole story otherwise. Read brilliantly again by David Thorpe.

Great
Less Campion and more other characters solving - but nevertheless a real page-turner as usual.

Enjoyable book, awful choice of narrator
What a shame that such an intriguing book full of compelling characters is read by an utterly characterless, saccharine and irritating little boy. How is a voice like a 14 year-old public schoolboy meant to represent grown men and women? Top marks for the story, which is one of the better Albert Campion episodes, but the opposite score for whoever thought this poor chap's voice was suitable...
