5.0 out of 5 stars Good Readable Story of Days Gone-by
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012

This is the first book by this author that I have read. I thoughly enjoyed this book and plan to purchase the rest of Rohmer's works in the ebook format. It is an exciting, well-written story with enough plot twists to keep me interested, and has just enough lurid touches to make it a very readable atmospheric mystery from the early twentieth century.

Kudos to whomever transferred it to Kindle format!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Clasical Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2012

If you are looking for an old fashioned 1920's murder mystery series, then this is a book for you! Sax Rohmer's "The Golden Scorpion" is one of his best mysteries, which even includes his great Fu Manchu series as well. The old-fashioned style in "The Golden Scorpion" can be a bit distracting until you get used to it, and for some people, the racial stereotyping can be upsetting to many modern readers (this is especially true of the Fu Manchu series). However, the book, its style, and even the stereotyping is a product of the time and place in which it was written. This novel starts fast and continues building suspense and mystery until the dramatic conclusion. Sax Rohmer's "The Golden Scorpion" (free for Kindles) contains all of the mysterious elements of the classical mystery: dark nights, a lonely house, Scotland Yard, an uncanny wailing, the shadow of a cowled man, and a monstrous shadow, moon-cast, which had lain across the carpet of the lawn. Strange happenings abound such as "... a needle-like ray of blue light shot across the lawn from beyond the hedge and-- but for that nervous start-- must have struck fully upon the back of Stuart's skull. Instead, it shone past his head, which it missed only by inches..." which of course, melted his phone! Overall, it is a very exciting story and introduces us to Rohmer's French detective, Gaston Max.

3.0 out of 5 stars Call this one, Fu Manchu Light
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
I'm only giving this one three stars. Overall, if I had never read any of the Fu Manchu stories, I might go a little higher, but, having read something of Fu Manchu, I recognize the story as being largely a reprise of some of those previous works. Not a bad story, but, the plot is definitely a retread. Not one of Sax Rohmer's better efforts in my opinion. There is just something missing from this tale that I can't nail down. And unfortunately, it is for that lack of that indefinable something, that I only rate this one as average.

For free on Kindle, you can't quibble about the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good beginning
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

This is an early story by Sax Rohmer, with the French detective. I think it predates Fu Manchu stories by a few years. The writing is simple, with an easy plot line to follow. It misses the complexity of the Fu Manchu stories. A good beginning for what was to come.

2.0 out of 5 stars classic mystery needs a different reader
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2013
Verified Purchase
anyone who likes the old film noir from the 30s and 40s will like this story, with mysterious harem ladies, veiled Chinese villains, and a doctor expert in poisons, etc. I'm sorry to say the reader was a terrible distraction. The story has characters with a variety of accents, Scottish, French, Chinese, Hindu, and British. The reader managed to mangle all of them. The Hindu and Chinese accents were caricatures. There was also a lot of difficulty getting the phrasing and emphasis right, and some outright mispronunciation (e.g., "amorous" and "decorous" with the stress on the second syllable). If you have any Henry Higgins tendencies, it will drive you crazy. I forged ahead to the point where the villain's identity was revealed, and then gave up.

5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER Than Fu Manchu !
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
Rohmer tells a thrilling tale of intrigue and mystery as only he can. There is less racism and more story in this tale of Fu Manchu' s replacement, but is the evil master truly dead ?
I would recommend this book for fans of Sax Rhomer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Transfer Review
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2011
Verified Purchase
Other reviewers have done a good job of reviewing the story itself, so I just have a few comments on the Kindle transfer. It's pretty dreadful. I've read a goodly number of free Kindle books now and am used to the usual errors, but this book actually repeats about 10 pages in the middle. I've never seen that before. In addition to that, there are many more spelling/word errors than the average free Kindle book.
If you don't mind the errors and the 10 pages repeated then this is a good (free) read, but if you're distracted by these things I'd recommend buying a hardcopy of this book.

Another excellent novel from the pen of Sax rohmer. How he does it every time is baffling. Every one of his books is a wonder of suspence and excitement.
