Okay, it's a bit far fetched, but still good. Our hero has met the woman of his dreams, but he has a gap in his memory that he wants filled. So he returns to the place he thinks that will jog his memory. Unfortunately it works, and he forgets the ten years he has spent as an honored doctor and only sees himself as a killer on the run. Fortunately, he has earned some friends who want to help him, but will it be too little, too late? Can he reclaim his position as a doctor and fiance? Reader was excellent, no complaints. I really enjoyed this story.

A very good story

This is a very good story -- long, but good. I'm learning that Mary Roberts Rinehart was very good at writing the complexities of relationships, the nuances of emotions, and in combining those human elements with some well thought out mysteries. This Librivox volunteer reader did a very good job. (I must say that I've seen MRR praised as "an American Agatha Christie"; that she is not. Christie is controlled and concise and packs a lot into her much thinner books, whereas Rinehart rambles on prodigiously with minute details of actions and emotions. Both are good writers, but they are very, very different.)

A very good book. I felt a variety of emotions from sadness to joy. A writing of life where all is not rosey. Really enjoyed this narrator. He did a great job and it makes a difference.

Excellent story and great reading. The twists of conflict are well executed, and though there is a little drudgery involved, if you can make it through, you will be rewarded by the end of the novel. This book touches on the theme of romantic love with a magnifying glass: can even the breaking point defeat true love? and it answers with a resounding, 'No. It can cause one to spurn it or to attempt to rip it from one's chest, but if it is true, then even though it turns to bitter jealousy and rage, it is only so because it is indeed real and must make its veracity of presence known in some form or another.'

A very enjoyed leisurely listen

The reader has a perfect narrator's voice! The story is intriguing; although a bit slow moving it is very well-woven and worth the patience to slowly experience all the angles.

This was one of those books that I didn't want to end. The characters were so well crafted that I felt like I knew them personally. All of my emotions were exercised and the ending was perfect. Nicholas Clifford is a gifted reader. I would listen to him read a tax form!
