More interesting than intriguing ..

.. even I, who rarely figure out who did it, cottoned on in no time! However, the setting, events, and attitudes make it a most interesting novel. Unions got a bad press which I found a bit unfair. But what a hero The Phantom is! Beautifully read.
Good Story
brown
Engaging tale with good character development. Didn’t figure it out until very close to the end. I had no problem with the recording so it must have been fixed. Narration is flawless! The best on LibriVox.
OK STORY
AVID READER
I do not recall any so-called mystery where the crime and it's solution was incidental to the overall story. However, the story was pleasant enough, and the reader was very good.
Excellent Pace
The Outlier
Well-written mystery that moves well along at a canter, keeping listeners engaged right to the end. Great authentic reader style too, with vivid descriptions of Australian landscapes and life. Enjoy!
super reader!!
