À propos de cet audio

 When attractive American Jacqueline Kirby is invited to an English country mansion for a weekend costume affair, she expects only one mystery. Since the hosts and guests are all fanatic devotees of King Richard III, they hope to clear his name of the 500-year-old accusation that he killed the little princes in the Tower of London.

Jacqueline is amused at the group's eccentricities until history begins to repeat itself. A dangerous practical joker recreates famous 15th-century murder methods: beheading, poisoning, smothering, and even drowning in a butt of malmsey. As the jokes become more and more macabre, one at last proves fatal.

Jacqueline puts all her observations together for a dazzling solution that will surprise even the most attentive listener.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Highly entertaining." (The New York Times)

Les plus pertinents
This was a mildly diverting storyline, peopled by partially sketched characters. The overall sense of a fondness for what she was creating is just barely perceptible in the writing, but the ‘mystery’ in this murder mystery was barely present, the solution was trite and smacked of an author who did not truly care to construct a plausible world for her characters to inhabit. Unfortunately it fell far short of Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody Novels.
These shortcomings were not helped by the off-kilter narration, and messy, wandering accents.

A mildly diverting tale.
