Summary
A stranger and foreigner arrives at the offices of a small publication in London only to be faced by the “editor” whose face is completely swathed in a veil. Nothing is as it seems, and it quickly becomes evident that both are bent on more than lively gossip about the elite. Blackmail and opportunism is the order of the day. When two men are found shot to death outside the door of Mr. Farrington the millionaire who just happens to live a few doors from T. B. Smith, the head of the secret police, the connections to blackmail are not long in coming. Were these men shot by the blackmailer? Who is actually what he seems to be? (Summary by Don W. Jenkins)

Ran Mattison... A good story, sometimes a little difficult to follow. Good job with the narration

It was difficult for me to follow the story as I was not in sync with the narrator.

The story line was great. I was to thrilled with the narrator. The voice was to monotone. I loved the mystery and the twist and turns of the story.

It was a good mystery, a little bit confusing with one narrator doing all the voices. Although, that being said, he did a pretty good job of narrating all the characters.

This is an older book, which I often enjoy but it was difficult to follow and the sing song voice of the narrator was very distracting. Typically I listen to my selections at least twice, not this book.

I thought I would give this book ago as the reviews were mixed. Unfortunately I’m on the side of the people that didn’t like the narrator. Bizarre accents made it hard to follow, I couldn’t finish the book.

Did not finish as the book was not very interesting to me and the narrator was annoying and not great.

Couldn’t get into it. The narrator’s forced accent for different characters was a bit of a distraction

It's a book that will keep you engaged from the beginning to the end due to the variety of plots that occur
