The Wintringham Mystery
Anthony Berkeley · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Mike Grady (HarperCollins/Collins Crime Club, 2021)
76/100
👍 Worth It
A genuine Golden Age puzzle mystery with a fun bit of history behind it — even Agatha Christie reportedly couldn't solve the original serialized version. It's a low-content, family-friendly whodunit with a light romance thread woven in, though I couldn't track down any reviews of this particular narrator's performance, so that's an unknown going in.
