Reseñas

Excellent story


(4 stars)

The Rouschuk papers are missing, and the Secretary of State does not know who is behind the theft. His wife has been behaving strangely as well. He never asked about her mysterious past because he loves and respects her. Yet, something must be behind her secretive behavior. In addition, Count Vladmir, the Russian Ambassador, has been making a number of appearances, more so than affairs of state would warrant. What ties them all together? Intrigue, missing papers, and missing people make for an interesting story. Reading was good.

"Mission" to point out a certain reader?

You're going to be posting a lot of reviews, then, because that is one of our more prolific readers. If you go to the LibriVox catalog page for each project (linked in the description), you can scan the list of readers and avoid any with readers you do not like.

I really don't mean to pick but I am on a mission to point out what I think is the same reader with a highly bad habit of inflection chap.31,32, 33 among others..i keep running into it often..
