Librivox recording of The Stillwater Tragedy by Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
Read by J. M. Smallheer.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich was an American poet, novelist and editor. Of his many books of poetry and fiction, he may be best known for his semi-autobiographical novel, The Story of a Bad Boy and his collection of short stories, Majorie Daw and Other People. The Stillwater Tragedy which was first published in 1880 is set in a small New England manufacturing town whose tranquility is disturbed first by the murder of one of its prominent citizens followed soon thereafter by a general strike of all the trades-unions. As the story develops, Richard Shackford, the murdered man's nephew, finds himself inextricably caught up in both these events.

Subject: Great Story nice narration
I really enjoyed this story. Some audio books I will start listening to and right away I cannot continue because I do not like the narration. The narrator here does a wonderful job. This is a really good story, lots of twists and turns. I would recommend this one for a good listen.

Subject: Slow start, but an enjoyable and surprising detective story
The first few chapters started off slowly. Why should I care about the irascible old man who was killed? But then the author takes us back in time and we find that this is actually a story about Richard, the deceased's cousin, and his growth as a man through the trials of a small New England manufacturing town. To say more is to give away the ending, but suffice to say, by the end, I really did care what happened to Richard Shackford.
This is a solo project, so the reading is consistent and easy to listen to. The book's characters form a virtual United Nations, and the reader is challenged by the number and variety of the accents - but the diction is very good throughout and so the various "voices" do not detract from the story.
