Although she claims innocence, she refuses to give the details which could prevent her from going the gallows. Aileen and her lover as well as Inspector Trant, who knew Aileen's father years ago, join forces to clear her name. The only clue they have is the word "whispering" uttered by the victim before he died!! - Summary by Celine Major (8 hr 38 min)

Reviews

So-So


(3 stars)

Not one of Fergus Hume's best stories. I found the characters to be under developed, acting one way in certain circumstances, and the opposite of what I would expect in others. The heroine was weak, going off into fits of hysterics and fainting at the drop of a hat. I started listening with high expectations, but was soon disappointed. 2 1/2 stars.
