Summary
A young doctor, former student of the legal and medical expert Dr. John Thorndyke, finds himself almost accidentally drawn into a case in which a man has vanished. Perhaps he has died; perhaps not;but the issue is very important because the will that he has left behind is curiously -- annoyingly curiously -- worded. Fortunately, Dr. Thorndyke's rationality combined with his forensic skills, bring the case to a conclusion, while the young doctor meets the love of his life in the Egyptian rooms of the British Museum.

A good story

Brilliant from beginning to end. The narration was very nicely done. I will certainly listen to it again.

Long but not bad

Fabulous story and really well narrated.

Well written with interesting medical and legal terminology and details. The use of x-rays was surprising for the period when they were not yet fully understood. With our knowledge now we can assume those involved in the experiments would have probably have subsequently suffered from cancer. An ingenious plot indeed.

The book was good but it came alive because of the awesome reader!

Profile Avatar Ginger S. Mar 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed the suspense and intrigue. Great story line. Wish mystery murder stories were still written with his elegance.

I'm familiar with Libra vox recordings by amateur readers - the advantage of listening through Audiobook is that you don't have to manually reconnect to the recording at the end of every chapter. The disadvantage is the quality of the narration done by non professional readers. In this case Nicholas Clifford's narration wasn't bad, and the story was very engrossing. Enjoyed the cerebral nature of the mystery which really teases the listener to figure out what exactly happened.

Despite the 120 year-old setting, an intriguing story

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2021

Good story but incredibly wordy and the narrator volume and tempo are low and slow respectively, A good study of British entitlement and nonsensical imperialism of the setting..

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2021

nicely paced mystery. good narration.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2021

Quite a good book but it got quite long and complicated telling the story but once I got into it I thought it was better than I anticipated

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2021

The narrator voice was awful. Couldn’t pay attention to the book long enough to know what it was about. Was done with it before that first chapter was over

Hard to follow.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2020

Got it all... mystery, romance, comedy and human nature :) excellent narration also

Profile Avatar Anonymous Feb 2020

Loved this book, for its gentle style, but also for it's fascinating mystery. Written before the discovery of the Tutankhamen discovery, this was truly a joy.

Profile Avatar Gary R. Jun 2018

If you are a fan of forensic medical investigation, you will enjoy this book. Freeman’s style is somewhat similar to Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes”.

Profile Avatar Maxwell Blade Feb 2016

Was a well written book , took me back in time as did the narrator!
