Reviewer: mikezane - 10/2/2008 15:51Subject: Well written mystery The main character is a wealthy wanderer who likes to try different professions. On one of his sojourns, he is in the right place to witness a murder. Noting the conflicts in the story, he decides to try his hand at sleuthing. He even finds a 'Watson' to help him along. The story takes a number of unexpected twists and keeps the listener guessing as to the outcome. A note regarding the reader; she did a FABULOUS job. |

I am giving this four stars, because there are other stories I have like better. Also this rating is in part due to the over use (in my opinion) of Sherlock Holmes − more precisely Watson references. The reader earns 5 stars. |
