I did enjoy the accent of the narrator. Yet I still could keep my focus on the story for the most part.

Profile Avatar Heleen W Oct 2017

Took me a little bit to get into the story but was glad I gave it a chance. Was actually a worthy listen.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2020

Good story. Sometimes hard to understand because of narrator's accent.

Profile Avatar Doris B. Jul 2026

Very boring.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2024

This story just droned on and on. Couldn’t even finish it

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2024

Narrator sounded like an squeaky old lady which her character was but she discouraged me from listening.. The plot was mediocre and the written word was not much better.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2024

The narrator was just not for me, couldn't listen so I have no review of the actual book

Profile Avatar Frank Nov 2023

I could not get past the narrator. She was absolutely horrible. Her narration did not flow at all! I could not get through 45 minutes of it.

Profile Avatar Jeet Jul 2023

A bit complicated to follow but a good ending tied it all up. Narrator read it excellently, and used different voices for different characters

Not bad for driving

I do believe I enjoyed the narrator much more than the story. I found it a bit difficult with all the different characters, which I never do !

Profile Avatar Virginia C P. Nov 2020

Have now listened to two of Mary Roberts Rinehart‘s books from the free collection and thoroughly enjoyed both. The narrators are to be commended for their creativity and volunteered generosity in bringing these audio gifts to your listeners.

Not a fan of this book

Profile Avatar Jeffrey E. Aug 2020

overall not too bad.

Profile Avatar Richard S. Aug 2020

Good read

Profile Avatar Frances L. Jul 2020

I enjoyed the narration quite well. The narrator’s voice was well suited for the variety of characters. She also read at a perfect pace. As for the book, it held my attention from start to finish. I cannot say that about all books. The murder mystery maintained the same level of curiosity about Jennie Brice throughout the novel. There is also a large cast of men who may have been involved with the murder(?) and the coverup(?). This book was written prior to 1958 so I enjoyed earlier language and turn of phrases.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2020

I had trouble following The Who and what at times.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2020

Not my favorite

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jun 2020

It was ok. Narrator was fairly good but I’m finding that with each story, apart from one of the Jeeves and Wooster ones, they all sound alike in cadence the way the story is told, which is pretty boring.

Profile Avatar GilbertMouse Jun 2020

This book kept me awake! The narrator was so convincing that I believed her to be telling her own story. Lovely!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2020

Very well read with expression!!! And was a good mystery!

Profile Avatar Kevin W. Dec 2019

Ok story did not like narrator

Profile Avatar Terry G. Sep 2019

Unfortunately narrator had a squeaky voice and couldn't listen to more than 20 minutes of it. Shame

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2019

An unusual setting for a story but I did enjoy the book. Wasn’t too sure about readers accent at first but soon tuned into it.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2019

I really liked this book. Fascinating to follow the plot through the point of view of the boardinghouse owner. Besides having to deal with lodgers and people going back and forth from her house taking her for granted, she has to deal with all of it in flood conditions. Aside from the story, It was interesting to learn of the floods in Pittsburgh/Allegheny. It sent me on a bit of research because my grandfather was born in Pittsburgh. It was also quite interesting to realise that there was a flood district. How curious that people regularly had to take measures to let the flood through every year. Meaning that they rearranged their lives, Travelled about in boats to their destinations as if it were common, and then had all the clearing, cleaning and even wall papering to do when the flood went down. Who built the houses where 3 major rivers regularly flooded together?!

The book was ok, I lost interest in it half way through, but I did finish it.
