Summary
A young doctor, former student of the legal and medical expert Dr. John Thorndyke, finds himself almost accidentally drawn into a case in which a man has vanished. Perhaps he has died; perhaps not;but the issue is very important because the will that he has left behind is curiously -- annoyingly curiously -- worded. Fortunately, Dr. Thorndyke's rationality combined with his forensic skills, bring the case to a conclusion, while the young doctor meets the love of his life in the Egyptian rooms of the British Museum.

Well written with interesting medical and legal terminology and details. The use of x-rays was surprising for the period when they were not yet fully understood. With our knowledge now we can assume those involved in the experiments would have probably have subsequently suffered from cancer. An ingenious plot indeed.

Thoroughly enjoyed the suspense and intrigue. Great story line. Wish mystery murder stories were still written with his elegance.

I'm familiar with Libra vox recordings by amateur readers - the advantage of listening through Audiobook is that you don't have to manually reconnect to the recording at the end of every chapter. The disadvantage is the quality of the narration done by non professional readers. In this case Nicholas Clifford's narration wasn't bad, and the story was very engrossing. Enjoyed the cerebral nature of the mystery which really teases the listener to figure out what exactly happened.

Despite the 120 year-old setting, an intriguing story

Good story but incredibly wordy and the narrator volume and tempo are low and slow respectively, A good study of British entitlement and nonsensical imperialism of the setting..

Quite a good book but it got quite long and complicated telling the story but once I got into it I thought it was better than I anticipated

The narrator voice was awful. Couldn’t pay attention to the book long enough to know what it was about. Was done with it before that first chapter was over

Loved this book, for its gentle style, but also for it's fascinating mystery. Written before the discovery of the Tutankhamen discovery, this was truly a joy.

If you are a fan of forensic medical investigation, you will enjoy this book. Freeman’s style is somewhat similar to Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes”.
