About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of That Affair at Portstead Manor by Gladys Edson Locke. Read in English by J. M. Smallheer An English country home during a house party becomes the scene of a double mystery. One of the three detectives employed on the case is a woman whose common sense, calm, and plain logic are skillfully employed in straightening the tangle. A double love story as well as a double crime seems not too much for the writer to handle. - Excerpted from the NY Times Book Review, Aug 16, 1914.
