heidenkind's review against another edition

I have a feeling I fell asleep while listening to this because I don't really remember the conclusion. Not that it was terribly gripping to begin with.

3.0

This was a free kindle book I have had for awhile. It's a short mystery, about 65 pages long. It is written well for it's time. The details were thought out well, but impossible to actually carry out the crime the way the author described it. Having read many detective and mystery novels, I figured out the scheme quickly, and most of you will too, but this is an interesting little story . It won't take much time to read and will remind you of the stye of many detective stories from that era of time.
A man has been accused of murder. He was the last person seen with the victim and his revolver was found at the scene. His aunt is positive of his innocence and enlist help in proving it. Details emerge that sheds light on the situation and we find a terrible plot has been hatched to exact revenge.
There is a moral to the story that is obvious, but pertains to every age . So, even though this is a very old book, the technical details impossible with what we now know about forensics etc, the basic principle of the story makes it worth checking out.
