    "A must for fans"

    If you are a fan of the detective story, this is a must listen. Excellent renditions of stories from the early days of detective stories.

    "Bored NC Listener"

    Please don't waste your money. I love good ghost stories and this collection is not one of them. The audio quality was very bad. The narration was so boring I found myself nodding off while driving. The stories were not in the least scary.

    So boring! I couldn't make it through the first story. The narrator is terrible. I want my money back.

    "Classic Ghost Stories"

    Too wordie. The style of writing was from the 1700's and was hard to follow. Not fun to listen to.
