Publisher Description

Three interrelated stories make up the plot of The Suicide Club. They each stand on their own, but there is an overall plot that brings them together. It centers around the hero, Prince Florizel of Bohemia. He attempts to solve the mystery of a strange club that turns out to have a very different purpose than its name suggests.

The three stories in the trilogy are: Story of the Young Man with the Cream Tarts, Story of the Physician and the Saratoga Trunk, and The Adventure of the Hansom Cab. Also included are dramatized versions of two of Stevenson's most famous short stories: Markheim and The Sire de Maletroit's Door.

"Lovely writing. Intricate, elegant phrasing that is so far removed from the blunt way we communicate in the modern world. Also an intriguing investigation of the desire to indulge in vice without consequence. "

    " I read this book after seeing the 1936 movie, Trouble For Two, starring Robert Montgomery and Frank Morgan, which is based on the three connected stories of The Suicide Club. As others have said, the first story is the strongest and could have been expanded. I also found the middle story - The Physician and the Saratoga Trunk - compelling. The last story which ties together the other two, seemed a bit rushed at the end and didn't really explain everything. It's like Stevenson originally wrote three separate tales then decided to give them a common link. I enjoyed the occasional humor. Recommended for those who like Victorian literature. "

    " I found this story very catching... Just a few lines into the book and I was hooked. I believe with just a few adjustments it could be a wonderful movie. A very nice short read by the great Stevenson. "

    " This was a great mystery of sorts. The Body Snatcher was also included in this book as well and was exciting to read. Robert Louis Stevenson has yet to disappoint me! "

    " 3 short stories with interwoven plots, starting with the Prince's run-in with a club of suicidals who take the burden out of suicide by turning it into a game. I enjoyed the first story most, but it's such a short book (50-some pages I think) that I had to finish it. "

    " I started reading this book, but because of a busy schedule I never finished it. I do intend to finish it soon though, because it was a fascinating, if slightly morbid, read... :) "

    " This was a big disappointment. The first story had a super interesting idea that did not really get explored at all, and then the following two stories dealt with trying to capture a criminal from the first story. Wasted potential. "

    " Not too bad for RLS, but he could have done better. The first tale is the best of the three and would have been better off if he fleshed it out and kept it by itself. The others in this trilogy are pretty typical Victorian fare, but are still good reads. "
