Members Reviews:
One of the best
First, thank you to Audible for finally bringing John Dickson Carr to us at last.
This is a nice little mystery. I'd read it a few years ago and could remember who did it but not how or why. Famous for his locked room mysteries, John Dickson Carr makes this a locked room mystery without the "locked room" so to speak.
As usual with a lot of authors, the majority of the clues lie at the start of the book, within maybe the first three or four chapters so by the end you've forgotten them. This is always a neat trick if you can pull it off, of which Dickson Carr is a master. As with the characters, you will be guessing wrongly throughout the book and then realise all the answers were there all the time.
As for narration, this is one of the best narrations of a book that I have found in years. The voices are all extremely well done, the pace is perfect and the Jonathan Keeble has a beautiful voice for this work.
On the whole, brilliant! Thanks, Audible, can we have some more please?

Perfect marriage of material and performance
This is my first Dickson Carr - so cant say if its representative of his other works; but its well-written - witty, detailed, pacey - and has a vast array of suspects. But the icing on the cake is the performance- Jonathan Keeble masters narration, accents, male and female voices with an ease which does not draw attention to itself but enhances the storytelling. Ill keep an ear out for anything else this chap has narrated.
