Some of the narrators were hard to understand. The narrator of chapter 6 was the worst. I just couldn't keep listening.

several twists and turns have made me seek out another js Fletcher read!

This a a keen story with intriguing ramifications. The assortment of readers do a good job with the exception of Chapter VI, who is the worst reader I have ever heard on LibraVox. That reader even concludes her ghastly sing-song by declaring “end of chapter VII.” The author was noted for creating hundreds of murder plots among his other writings. Even though this book is about 100 years old, it is not reflected in this story, for it is up-to-date as to character development and story line.

Complicated mystery


(5 estrellas)

There are so many people in this story that just when you think you understand them, boom. The actual plot isn't really complicated, but it seems like it is. Once the mystery is revealed, I was right there trying to figure it out. I do not generally like multiple readers and this was no exception. Most were fine. The readers less than good were difficult to understand and read some important chapters. Since everyone is a volunteer, can't complain.

MYSTERY, PLOTS, TWISTS & TURNS

A tale we'll worth following. Agatha Christie must have read many of these hundred + year old stories. If you can get past the constant changes in readers, male and female, the English as a Second Language readers with sometimes obscure or mis- pronunciations and the occasional dull flat reader, behind that is a tale worthy of a television series.

More a procedural


(4 estrellas)

For most of the story the “detective” is a cad. Towards the end there are so many “detectives” it’s hard to keep track. The ending feels tacked on. Even with all these faults it’s a good read/listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and most of the reading, but some of the readers were truly below par. I appreciate, though, that they are volunteers and without them these books would not be available.
