The House of a Thousand Candles (version 2)
Meredith Nicholson
Leído por Eric Leach
A reputedly wealthy and eccentric old man dies in Vermont. His home, the House of a Thousand Candles, so called for the owner's preference to candle light, is left empty save a faithful servant -- his fortune mysteriously vanished, though rumored to still have been hidden in the house somewhere. John Glenarm, the late old man's grandson, stands to inherit the estate (and so the secret fortune) under the stipulation that he live in the house for one year. If he fails, the house will be forfeited and awarded to Marian Devereaux, the niece of the nun who operates the nearby Saint Agatha's School for girls. Mister Pickering, the executor of the estate and childhood rival of John's, decides to find the hidden treasure before young Glenarm does. (7 hr 29 min)

Reseñas
Delightful!
Angels Walk
How sad am I, to have lived these ?? some odd years, and just now discovered this Author! I laughed, became angry, anxious, excited, all the emotions one can hope to inspire through their story telling, Meredith Nicholson did for me, in Spades! As with so many Great Authors, she did so, posthumously. I'm off, to find more of her work, as it bodes well for my spirit!
Light and Enjoyable

Lovely, light story. I enjoyed the reader and most of the voices he gave to seperate characters: I do wish, however, that the male readers would stop giving their female characters these terrible, high-pitched voices! Aside from that it was perfectly enjoyable!
Awesome reading!
Librivoice
Reader Eric Leach did a fantastic job with this book! I loved the different voices he adapted for each character and his reading was wonderfully upbeat and entertaining! I look forward to listening to more of your audio book recordings on Librivox.

Wonderful mystery written (and read) at a great pace. A gem!
Wonderful!!
UnashamedBibliophile
What great fun it was to hear this book! It has all the great plot twists to exercise the gray matter, and was nicely read. It is LOL funny in some places, and puts your heart in your throat in others. I feel like a shrine to Bates would be appropriate. ps After reading the other reviews I want to put in my 2 cents about the protagonist. I can't forgive him for having been a hunter, but as far as his character and maturity I say perfect, and I would have married him myself
Great Story!

Chose this book based on a recommendation from a blog and I'm so glad I tried it. This was a great story with wonderful pacing and a humorous writing style. It's got something for everyone - a mysterious house, a morally - ubiquitous butler, a captivating love story, a treasure hunt, and a hand to hand combat. This was a really exciting read and the narrator did a nice job.
Entertaining and wonderfully read

This was a really good story from start to finish I love readers Style. The only thing I was wanting was that lovely Irish accent which he didn't do it did not spoil the feast, and it was a great listen...laughed out loud several times...lol....anyone who doesn't like this can go to the devil!
