A rich playboy comes home from travels abroad and is bully-ragged by his eccentric aunt into finding meaning for his life. This he does by helping a school chum save his fiancée from the gallows and the playboy falls head over heels in love with the fiancée. A web of deception and lies is revealed and also a long list of who loves who filled with how much each is willing to accept. The colorful cast includes a south sea captain, a fortuneteller, and a colorful doctor who is an authority on the inhabitants and customs of Easter Island. Then, of course, there is the sacred herb!—Enjoy!! (Summary by Sharon Kilmer) (10 hr 0 min)

SHAKESPEARE SAID IT!

(5 Sterne)

A clever story with enough twists to keep the reader guessing. Sharon read it well.

enjoyable

(4 Sterne)

I enjoyed this reader. I like these books, the era and their style, but this one seemed more endless than usual. By the time the book wrapped up, I had stopped caring who the murderer was! Even so, I enjoyed the story thoroughly until about the last 20%.

An excellent reading of an interesting mystery. I'd never heard of this author before but I'll surely listen to more of his novels.
