The Ponson Case
Freeman Wills Crofts
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Where is Sir William? His butler and valet are concerned. He disappeared after dinner and is late retiring to bed. Did Sir William walk over to his son's house, possibly to discuss his unsuitable choice of bride? Or did an argument with a dinner guest from a few evenings ago resurface and turn sinister? Maybe he is apoplectic and they will find him lying dead somewhere? But the truth is far worse. Sir William is found in the river, but it doesn't look as if he drowned. - Summary by LynneT (8 hr 38 min)

Reviews
excellent mystery
Suzie
Some of the readers were very good. The plot kept me guessing until the very end.
Melanie
A fun mystery. Lots of procedural detail, but a fine listen while doing housework!
