James Bennett, nephew of Sir Henry Merrivale (the cantankerous yet genius sleuth), has been invited to stay at White Priory for Christmas, among the retinue of the glamorous Hollywood actress Marcia Tait. Her producer, her lover, her playwright and her agent are all here along with the haughty master of the estate, Canifes and his daughter.
So many suspects they become when Marcia Tait is found dead on Christmas morning in the lakeside pavilion, having been left there alone the night before and with a distinct lack of footprints in the snow to reveal any possible killer. When Henry Merrivale arrives to piece together what appears to be an impossible crime, John Dickson Carr, writing under the pseudonym Carter Dickson, treats the listener to sensational twists, febrile tension between the closed circle of suspects and one of the most perfect solutions in the history of the genre.

The great narration

If I had read this book I would have loved it just the same but my eyes don’t allow for that anymore. So now I listen which is a very different experience. It relies not only on the talent of the author but also on the talent of the narrator/performer.
I’m sure all of you have tried listening to a book whose narrator was so inappropriate and/or untalented that it ruined what could have been great. I’ve even listened to a few books whose writing was pedestrian but was lifted by a gifted performer.
Hence the reason for the headline. The writing and story are superb but Telfer takes it to another level.
Hope this is helpful to y’all and enjoy your day!👍
Telfer is amazing and perfect for Carr.
