The reading was going smoothly until chapter 6 when a new reader with an Australian accent disturbed the even flow. Then chapter 7 went back to an American accent. And chapter 8 returned to a third accent--not sure which. It was so distracting that I was lunable to follow the story at all. So I turned it off. I'm not familiar with Librivox ... perhaps this is how all their books are read.

Great vintage whodunit by "The American Agatha Christie." Perhaps not everything Rinehart wrote is in Christie's league, but this book certainly is. Engrossing characters and story that kept me guessing to the end. Some of the readers are outstanding. Ian Skillen was my favourite. I could listen to him read all day and, if fact, I'm going to see what else he has read. Unfortunately, some of the others readers weren't so good. They did their best, I'm sure, and I appreciate their efforts.

Book starts a bit slow, but picks up and gets very exciting, so stick it out through the slow start.
What would an elderly lady rather do on vacation? Sunbathe or solve a murder? Enter a fiesty spinster who decides the latter when a man is found murdered in her summer rental. The house has the reputation of being haunted, but she isn't convinced and sets about determining the REAL mystery behind the Circular Staircase.
Reading is fine, no complaints. :-)
