The story is about a body found in the college’s library.
The narrator made this story entertaining. He was great in performing some characters and others not so much which actually added to the humor.
This story was a hit in 1942 It is set in the library that resembles Cornell University’s Library.
The author hid his identity and used the pseudonym W. Bolingbroke Johnson and later revealed he was Morris Bishop, professor of French literature and provost at Cornell.
Although “The Corpse in the Library” had been suggested for this mystery ~ “The Widening Strain” was selected in 1942 ands kept for this 2024 release!
Want to thank NetGalley and High Bridge Audio for granting me this audio Galley.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for April 2, 2024.
