A medium is brought to a neighborhood social club gathering as the evening's entertainment and describes someone who had been shot, and some of the surrounding circumstances. Later in the evening two of the attendees are called away to a nearby house where there has been a violent death which oddly mirrors what the medium described. They and later the Club as a whole decide to try to find out what really happened. This novella is both a mystery and a social comedy, like many of Mary Roberts Rinehart’s writings.

"New Thought" Intrudes

I don't like the paranormal intruding on a murder mystery, so that may be why the ending didn't satisfy me. It felt like the wrong things were left out earlier in the story, and were jammed in on the last page. But it's a harmless way to pass a few hours. Regarding the narration, I had no problem understanding Mr Hoyt, but he has a low pitched voice which dips into 'vocal fry', especially when he is trying to differentiate between characters. Hearing the tension in his throat caused my throat to tighten up, too. Otherwise, he did a good job.
not a good reader

I wasn’t able to listen to more than a few minutes of the story. The reader’s style distracted from the story so much that I gave up.

I found the story a bit long. The reader was difficult to hear at times and read very fast sometimes.
