About this audiobook
Features John Putnam Thatcher, SVP of the Sloan Guaranty Trust. A rich childless widower gets his affairs in order; makes the Sloan his executor; and tries to kill himself but fails. 4 days later he dies in the Southport hospital due to malpractice it would appear. This soon evolves into murder and more. John Putnam Thatcher solves the mystery on behalf of the Sloan after much incisive and witty talk, typical of Emma Lathen's deft writing.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Emma Lathen books are wonderful. These readings are dreadful: flat, error-filled, dull, and badly recorded. So bad that Scribd should withdraw them from the catalog.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When Elliott Patterson disappears with $50,000 of Brunswick College's money, John Putnam Thatcher is called in to help find answers to a senseless puzzle. I think this is one of the weaker entries in the series, but it's an effective mystery and you probably won't guess who the murderer is.
