Appleby Talking is a collection of detective short stories by the British writer Michael Innes published in 1954. John Appleby, a Golden Age Scotland Yard detective, features in all twenty three stories.[1] The series of novels had run since Death at the President's Lodging in 1936, but this was the first time shorter stories about Appleby's cases had been collected in a single volume.[2] It was followed by a second collection Appleby Talks Again in 1956. It was published in the United States under the alternative title Dead Man's Shoes.
