Where is Sir William? His butler and valet are concerned. He disappeared after dinner and is late retiring to bed. Did Sir William walk over to his son's house, possibly to discuss his unsuitable choice of bride? Or did an argument with a dinner guest from a few evenings ago resurface and turn sinister? Maybe he is apoplectic and they will find him lying dead somewhere? But the truth is far worse. Sir William is found in the river, but it doesn't look as if he drowned. - Summary by LynneT (8 hr 38 min)

Freeman Wills Crofts writes police procedurals. He tries to show the reader what is involved in real police work - rather than the brilliant deductions of a Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. Some readers/listeners will enjoy this attention to detail while others will dind it tedious.

Fun and good

(4 Sterne)

A regular good mystery by Freeman W. C. I especially enjoyed the reading of the chapter by Jmac698. Somehow I could exactly picture the conversation between Tanner and the serious butler, about a pair of shoes! Thanks.

excellent mystery

Some of the readers were very good. The plot kept me guessing until the very end.

A fun mystery. Lots of procedural detail, but a fine listen while doing housework!
