(3.9 stars; 10 reviews)

A Mysterious killer—Man? Beast? Or devil?—spreading terror throughout a nation, flouting law and lawless alike … Curious GOINGS-ON in a house rented immediately upon the death of its owner … A WARNING to leave the house, underlined with threats of death … A SHADOW bearing one gleaming eye [ … ] Wouldn’t You Like to Know – What happens when the indomitable Miss Van Gorder refuses to be frightened from the house of murder? What nerve-shaking word is spelled out by the Ouija board? [ … ] Who is the stranger who arrives half dead? Who is the Bat?” ~ from the ad in the book. Originally published in 1926, Rinehart's entertaining mystery offers suspense and humor, and you will see evidence of that era's Asian xenophobia and Prohibition in the United States. (Summary by Lynette Caulkins)

Critiques


(4 stars)

This is a nicely performed audio play. The story is not hugely complex, rather a bit more towards the predictable. Overall it is fun and worth a listen.

awesome!

Is something wrong with this.? It keep cutting off. So disappointed because I loved the story. The readers were excellent. Should be a 5 star. Hope you can get this corrected so I can finish it.
