Critiques

An absorbing detective story. I enjoyed it to the end.


(4 stars)

I'm no literary critic, I just know what I like. And I liked this book and the way it was written. it was old-fashioned, even by my standards- but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

This fascinating plot starts small and seemingly simple, then grows to be bigger and more complicated than you could imagine. A good listen.

An entertaining tale. I found most of the Librivox narrators quite good, but one was especially doleful.
