Alias the Saint by Leslie Charteris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The edition I have has only two stories mentioned.
‘The National Debt’: A bit over done and confusing at times as The Saint character, using an alias is suspected and accepted at the same time by a gang of bad guys. That makes little sense. Also the coercion of a scientist seems also far fetched. it all ends as such stories do, but I felt very unsatisfactory in the end.
‘The Man Who could Not Die’: This is a nifty short tale that is also confusing as the story has various flashbacks and the editing makes where those start and stop not clear. It all seemed obvious to me. As did the conclusion.
Bottom line: i don’t recommend the book. 4 out of ten points.
