About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Shadow of the Rope by E. W. Hornung. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. Unhappy Rachel Minchin is planning to return to her native Australia. The morning of her departure, she finds herself a widow, and embroiled with a police investigation. More famous for his Raffles stories, E.W. Hornung was also infamous for his casual racism, which some readers and listeners may find offensive. (Summary by LynneT)
