Summary

A millionaire is taken suddenly ill, and sensing his mortality, he asks his attorney to do him one last favor - to find and secretly watch over his missing niece, the daughter of his profligate deceased sister. This niece at the appropriate time would become heir to his millions. However, the millionaire is mysteriously murdered, stabbed to death in his sick bed.

Oliva Cresswell, the unsuspecting niece, has been a cashier in a large West End store for five years when she meets a Mr. Beale, a self-described wheat merchant, is attacked in her flat and rescued by this Mr. Beale, is offered a job as his confidential secretary, refuses him, is unexplainably sacked and finds herself in need of his offer. The mysteries multiply and deepen as the story proceeds.

Worth enduring the stilted performance

Minor heart attack as the usual Audible intro is in German, however the performance itself is in English. The performance is oddly stilted, almost as though it was text to speech software, American or English learnt from an American source female narrator. Not bad enough to completely spoil the book, but certainly doesn't add anything to the experience.

Narrator not a professional reader

Story was mildly enjoyable in a sub John Buchanan manner but I suspect that this was originally recorded by an amateur for Libravox the free audio book website and may still be available there. If you don’t know it they rely on volunteers to do the reading. Some are ‘resting’ actors but some are truly awful and shouldn’t be let anywhere near a microphone. This was listenable but read in a boring American monotone and not worth a credit.
