Posted in the house on the Island is a child's nursery rhyme about ten soldiers who are killed one by one. For Example: Ten people are lured to and stranded on an Island. It always bothers me when listening, reading or watching a mystery and the characters don't ask the right questions or do the most logical things. The low rating in story is due some unbelievable stupidity by the characters. Written in 1939 it has some interesting details about life in those days. With 10 minutes left, my wife and I stayed in the driveway to see how it finished.

A great read, which I will gladly revisit in future, especially since my heartbeat has returned to normal now.Įntertaining from start to finish. Gotta love the timing of a thunderstorm as I read the last chapters. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would! A wonderful chilling suspense mystery. It was one of the most marvelous performances I have ever heard, rivaled only by Stevens' own narration of Murder on the Orient Express. From the initial curiosity and disbelief, to the suspicion and weariness, he made it palpable, as if you were right there on the island with them. Masterfully done, seamless character transitions, and fantastically carried out the emotion of every scene -not just of individuals, but the atmosphere. Stevens is one of the only male narrators I have heard able to voice multiple female characters so well and consistently, without trouble distinguishing between them or sounding too high-pitched or forced.

Dan Stevens, hats off to you! If I hadn't known better, I could have thought there was a full cast reading this, rather than a single person supplying over a dozen voices. The constant murder countdown, one by one slowly and inevitably. That nursery rhyme was well selected I still feel a little haunted by it. Sent shivers down my spine nearly the whole 6 hours. just waiting it out until the unveil at that point). And I had little clue the entire way through, until something mentioned in passing by the police in the penultimate chapter perked up my suspicions- but even then I hadn't put it all together (I had really stopped trying very hard to figure it out once the doctor was found. I don't think I've ever been made so nervous in a murder mystery before. Stevens deserves higher than 5-star rating!
