    R. Austin Freeman

    R. Austin Freeman (1862–1943) was a British author of detective stories. A pioneer of the inverted detective story, in which the reader knows from the start who committed the crime, Freeman is best known as the creator of the “medical jurispractitioner” Dr. John Thorndyke. First introduced in The Red Thumb Mark (1907), the brilliant forensic investigator went on to star in dozens of novels and short stories over the next decades.

    • 2/5
      Poor quality recording. Discontinued reading at Chapter 6, to much static.
    • 1/5
      The reader mumbles. It’s no doubt a great book, could one understand what the reader says.
    • 4/5
      A pretty good mystery a little confusing at the end.
    • 2/5
      I wanted to listen to this story but the reader is horrible. You can not understand her words. She seems like she is trying to read too quickly and mumbling.
