Short version of a long story


(5 stars)

Since many of Crofts stories are fairly long, I assume this is an abridged version. It's nice to have a long story told quickly. This is a good mystery, pleasant to listen to and a good sample of Crofts' work. This is a radio drama, not an audio book. Very enjoyable.
