Once again, Carolin, your excellent reading has given me several hours of enjoyment. You (and all of you at Librivox) deserve more credit than my simple words can tell. The story was very entertaining and I always enjoy a story with a happy ending. If I ever needed an attorney and I could find one like Brett, I would just tell him my problem and take a long vacation. The telling of a very serious crime was done in as tasteful a manner as I can imagine. God Bless you Carolin, and all who so unselfishly give freely of themselves for the enjoyment of others.

A nice book and a great read by Carolin. I have seen some negative reviews from other LibriVox listeners on Carolin’s reading but I find those totally incorrect. And I am surprised that such readers have so much time and determination on their hands to write their own deep criticizing opinions of a volunteer reader on free to the listener audio book service! If a reader doesn’t care for a particular reader on LibriVox then why not just simply and quietly move on to another book?
BRETT STRIKES AGAIN

I wonder if it is only accidental that the finest portrayer of Sherlock Holmes is named (Jeremy) Brett. No matter, this is s good story, well written and well read.

COULD NOT FINISH

I believe this would be an enjoyable mystery. However, I must comment on the reader, for the benefit of others, like me, who do not hear well. Carolin has a pleasant and expressive voice. However my hearing is weak and I could not understand her words, because of her accent. In a mystery you can't miss any clues if you want to track the solution. I had to give up and go to another book.

Starts as a mystery, but a fifth of the way turns into an adventure—and a boring one at that. The reader does an excellent job with the material she has to work with.

audio had a bit of a tunnel sound in the first few chapters but it did go away. action, danger, but not much mystery.
Okay, not great

I was very interested at first, but the middle and end seemed too convoluted to easily follow. Excellent reader.
