About this audiobook
Was it murder or suicide? All entrances to the study where the body was found were locked from the inside. The future college president and groom-to-be had no known cause for suicide, yet no clues in either direction appeared to make any sense. Was Anita, the Mystery Girl, who had just arrived in the New England college town, somehow been implicated? Had she any reason to ensure of the demise of the well-liked man? Perhaps some love letters between the two that nobody was to know about? And what of the mark of a ring on the deceased man's forehead? The college town was abuzz, and it seemed everyone had their own ideas of what actually happened. - Summary by Roger Melin

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5So disappointing. I'm used to fiction from this period and don't mind some overwrought writing, but this is over the top. It read like the author had a great beginning in mind and then thrashed through writing what might happen after that with no real spark. Lots of "Who WAS this mystery girl?" and "You'd better tell all you know!", not much actual detecting or action. Also, Wells seemed to believe that either women were so beautiful that all men immediately fall in love, or catty and spiteful.
