When Peter, Margaret and Celia inherit a rambling old house from an uncle, they consider it to have a certain charm despite its ramshackle appearance. But suspicion is roused when they discover that for years no one has been very keen to set foot in the place - indeed, their uncle chose to live quite far away from this particular property - the reason being that it is said to be haunted. The things that go bump in the night take on a more sinister air when a murder is committed.

      Maureen O'Brien narrates this comedic mystery, written in 1932, about a haunted house complete with resident ghost. With a gentle voice, O'Brien creates vivid characterizations of a husband and wife, two siblings, and an aunt who inherit an aged English country manor. When the family moves in, greeting their luck with delighted anticipation, O'Brien captures their immediate chagrin at the lack of "mod cons." Although a chilling murder occurs, and the suspenseful story is filled with hidden staircases and moldering crypts, it's also laugh-out-loud funny. O'Brien's crisp English accent suits the period, but clearer distinction between the characters' voices would help listeners keep up with who's who. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
