About this listen

Gloria Guild is the singing "glory" of the thirties and the millionairess wife of Count Carlos Armando, renowned only for his succession of wealthy wives. When she is murdered, her husband is the obvious suspect, but he has a perfect alibi. So who could he have got to do it for him? The only clue is the word "face," penned in her dying scrawl. But whose face? And why? Ellery Queen pursues the glory riddle from the Bowery to a way-out wedding - and a surprise climax that will jolt you into cold shock. Anyone whonails this killer before Queen is either a genius or a cheat.

Pretty good but the narrator needs to work on his Scottish and English accents. The plot was OK but lacked a bit of pace and tension at the end.

Story ok though a little slow and lacking tension. The British accent is the most awful mixture of regional pronunciations I have ever heard, it would have been better if the narrator hadn’t bothered. The Scottish accent was often more Irish and stage mugging than accurate! Both were so bad as to be a bit distracting!

Horrendous accents

Struggled with the narrator's TERRIBLE Scottish and English accents. Otherwise usual twisty tale was fine.
