Audio Book Agatha Christie Short Story: Parker Pyne Investigates 05 / 12 The Case of the City Clerk: Mr. Roberts’ Adventure Parker Pyne's latest client, Mr. Roberts, is a 48-year-old city clerk with a stable life, a loving family, and a steady job. Despite his contentment, he feels trapped in a routine, craving a moment of excitement. Willing to pay just five pounds, Mr. Roberts asks Pyne to let him "live gloriously" for even a brief moment. Pyne accepts, warning of possible danger ahead. Pyne arranges a meeting at the Bon Voyageur restaurant, where he learns of a recent incident: Professor Petersfield was murdered while protecting secret plans meant for the League of Nations in Geneva. With their usual agents unavailable or untrustworthy, Pyne proposes Mr. Roberts as the unsuspecting courier. Mr. Roberts soon finds himself on a thrilling first-class journey from London to Geneva, carrying what he believes is a cryptogram revealing the location of the Romanov crown jewels. Upon arriving, he is instructed to continue to Paris and given passwords and a revolver for protection. On the train to Paris, Roberts encounters a glamorous foreign girl who uses the correct passwords and tells him about Vassilievitch, a dangerous man on their train. She entrusts Roberts with a stocking containing the "jewels" and pleads for his protection. After a night of high tension, Roberts rescues the girl from Vassilievitch, leading to a dramatic escape and chase through Paris. They fly back to England, where they meet Count Paul Stepanyi, who rewards Roberts with a jewel-encrusted order. Roberts is introduced to the “Grand Duchess Olga,” who is, in truth, a woman named Maggie Sayers playing a part. Pyne reveals the truth to Bonnington: the plans were successfully delivered, and the story given to Mr. Roberts was merely a thrilling embellishment. Meanwhile, rival agents in Paris are left blaming each other for their failure. Back home, Roberts receives a £50 cheque from "certain people," satisfied with his unexpected taste of adventure.

How many ads in this 33 minutes? Every 5 min is too much. The listener looses the thread of the story.
