An isolated country house sets the scene for a wartime mystery from the number-one New York Times best-selling author known as the American Agatha Christie.

As far as Carol Spencer is concerned, the war has spoiled everything. She and Don had been engaged for years and were on the verge of marriage when he was shot down in the South Pacific, leaving Carol on the verge of spinsterhood at 24. She wants to take some kind of job in the war effort, but her invalid mother demands that Carol accompany her to the family's summer home in Maine. But when they arrive at the faded mansion, they find it completely locked up. The servants are gone, the lights are dark - and there is a body in the closet.

There is a killer on the grounds of the abandoned Spencer estate, and the police believe it is Carol. As war rages across the seas, Carol Spencer fights a private battle of her own - to prove her own innocence, and to save her mother's life.

I quit halfway through due to the narration and not enough interest in the story to tolerate the confusions from characters all sounding the same.

I liked the way this book gives glimpses of what the mainland went through during the war. The mystery was good, even though it was easy to guess some elements there were still a few twists along the way.

Very entertaining WW2 era homeside mystery

This book kept me guessing "whodunit" with a bit of a surprise at the end. Highly recommend. Didn't want to stop listening!

The narration is mediocre. She tries for various voices, but they all sound the same. The women’s voices all sound whiney and the men’s are sharp and grating.

Excellent classic mystery by one of the original Queens of Mystery.
