Reseñas


(5 stars)

The summary alone was so very intriguing to me. When listening I was kept in suspense all the way through. While I thought I knew who was behind the conspiracy, & was right, there was no way to figure out why. There's also a murder. Are both related or not? Is the main character really a good honest man or does he deserve the treatment he's been receiving? I rarely find books to rate over 4 stars. This deserves them all. As usual, Robert's reading is perfect. I hope he ends up reading the majority of Librivox books.

Thank You Roger


(5 stars)

I'd like to thank the reader (Roger Melin) for this book. It kept me company on a 2 day journey in the car. Roger is an excellent reader and the story keeps you engaged. I didn't get sleepy while listening. 5 Stars for a good book and a great reader.


(5 stars)

Excellent recording of an intriguing mystery that I’ve listened to several times. This book will keep you guessing and maybe a little frustrated with the characters with the way they behave. Highly recommend this engaging storyline!

Good brand of silence


(5 stars)

This one kept my attention from the beginning and I didn't have a even a bad guess as to who it was until almost the end.

I liked this book

(4 stars)

kept me interested. did not suspect who it was till close to the end.

I have listened to this book 2x


(5 stars)

And enjoyed it both times. The summary covers the plot of the story. I listen to books at work, and sometimes I get caught up in a book so much that I put it on my kindle and head home and finish the book. This was just such a story. Roger M is one of my favorite readers. Thanks again for a great story!

Refreshingly old school mystery


(5 stars)

I love this reader he imbues a feeling of authenticity to whichever story he reads. This mystery is NewYork city around 1918 I'd guess as it was published first in 1919. When a detective had to use his own intuition and tireless investigation to get to the bottom of it all!
