Anna Katharine GreenA Strange Disappearance (June 5, 2008)

LibriVox recording of A Strange Disappearance by Anna Katharine Green

Anna Katharine Green (November 11, 1846 – April 11, 1935) was an American poet and novelist. She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories (no doubt assisted by her lawyer father).

Subject: Not a bad story...
A woman is reported as missing by the housekeeper of a well-to-do man. The housekeeper is extremely worried about the missing woman, even though she is a mere seamstress.

As the investigation continues, it becomes apparent to the investigators that the missing woman is more than just a seamstress, and that she went willingly with her kidnappers for some reason. Who is she, and why was she kidnapped?

The story is a little bit slow at first, which I think is due to some VERY poorly read chapters and background noises. However, if you stick it out, it is worth it.

Drop the treble on your equalizer to filter them out and up the base a bit.

This is one of those mystery stories that keeps you guessing. It is read by different readers, I think they were all pretty good except of course the horrible Lucy Burgoyne but she only reads a few chapters.
