service, than go buy the audio book. I cannot believe the selfishness of far too many reviewers. btw, i have no vested interest in Librivox or Internet Archive, nor do not know any of the readers reviewers treat like dirt. Many of us are poor, disabled, or trying to make ends meet, etc. I am thankful for any reader donating there time to read. You who are so upset and degrading of readers, you can always start another version reading of this book and donate your time so we can we can be enthralled with your magnificent, stupendous, splendid, sonorous, yet gently dulcet when need be, fantabulous, etcetera ad infinitum, voice.

The reader of chapter 2 reminds me of Carolyn (Crln) who's read many other mystery stories for Librivox. While native English speakers are best to read in English these 2 readers aren't bad. Just put both ear buds in, go to a quiet area, & pay attention. This book is worth it. It's about a truly evil sociopath & his response to unrequited love. This isn't a horror story as it doesn't discuss much physical violence. It's more mental abuse but isn't described in a detailed frightening way. It won't leave you very disturbed like books/movies on the subject put out in our time.
You will root for the killer...

... in this book. Edgar Wallace does it again with an edge of your seat book that keeps you guessing as to how the killer did it and why. The detective is called in to investigate the murder of a very popular and powerful man. Yet, as he investigates further, he learns that this is much more than just a murder mystery. The readers also do a wonderful job.

The story was a 5 but the narration was a 3.5. I agree with the one reviewer about the reader of chapter 2. I encourage you to suffer through it and a few other spotty readers because this is a good story. I love it when a book ends and it makes me smile and this one surely did . I will say that the good narrators outweighed the bad ones on this recording so again, suffer through the bad ones. They only read one or two chapters at the most.

This is a great story! Every chance I had alone I was plugged in. The author keeps you wanting more a read without all the boring details. The narrators are great except chapter 2. That woman makes me crazy with her sing a read, she is extremely hard to understand. Don't let her stop you. The story is worth suffering through her. You"ll wanna listen!
Great Story!
