No man in Europe can stop Bulldog Drummond, but now it’s a woman’s turn to try

Bulldog Drummond has retired from fighting tyranny to live peacefully with his wife, Phyllis, in the English countryside. He is just leaving his sleepy local pub when he is accosted by two sinister strangers. With a few quick movements, Drummond leaves the men dazed, bloodied, and eager to make a hasty retreat. The question is, who sent them? Drummond is certain he knows—a mysterious woman has lately been trying to intimidate him, and now she has decided to make her threats real. The truth, unfortunately, is far more diabolical.
 
When he returns home, Drummond discovers that after their thrashing at the pub, the men went forward with their real plan: kidnapping Phyllis. Getting her back will be the most perilous adventure Drummond has ever undertaken, but he is willing to risk everything and meet his most dangerous foe yet in order to keep his beloved wife safe.

Review

“A rattling good yarn.” —The Guardian on Bulldog Drummond

“[A] good, galloping tale, audacious and startling enough in its theme and developments to make anyone who likes that kind of a story forget to go to bed at the proper time or eat when he is hungry.” —The New York Times on Bulldog Drummond

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, yes they are.
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016

Anyone who doesn't think the female is the deadliest of the species hasn't had the opportunity of meeting Irma Petersen, widow of the late, unlamented Carl Petersen. In this book, fifth and arguably best in the series, Irma plans to take revenge on her husband's killer, Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, by killing his wife, Phyllis, his friends, then, finally, Hugh himself. It's a well-written adventure tale with non-stop action, narrated by an acquaintance of Hugh's, a archetypal Englishman, though maybe with a bit more on the ball than the usual Bulldog Drummond confederate. Since it was written more than eighty years ago, it has the usual passages and terms that make today's special snowflakes tremble and quail, but for tougher and less judgemental reader it's a wonderful book.

Bulldog Drummond is a classic. Great to get these older detective stories on Kindle.

A total waste - it wandered from unreal to downright silly. Sorry but suggest you read the phone book instead.
