LibriVox recording of The Maxwell Mystery (Version 2) by Carolyn Wells. Read in English by Celine Major. Phillip Maxwell is well known for his lavish dinner parties and all who are privileged to be invited to Maxwell Chimneys always look forward to an interesting evening. Present is Peter King, a long-time friend of Phillip's (also the narrator of this little story), a couple of good friends, a detective, an English Earl, a husband and wife and finally the beautiful Milly. She is the little coquette whom Phillip has proposed to many times hoping that this will be the last. It will be the last but not for the reason he expects!!! Halfway through the evening a shot is heard. Phillip is dead and Milly also shot but holding a gun in her hand. As the clues increase so do the list of suspects until it is clear outside help is needed and master detective Fleming Stone is sent for to help unravel the mystery. Enjoy! - Summary by Celine Major
