Helen Vardon's Confession

By R. Austin Freeman

Narrated by Graham Scott

When her beloved father is threatened with imprisonment over misappropriated trust funds, Helen Vardon agrees secretly to marry the man who holds her father's fate in his hand, to save both her father and herself from poverty and social disgrace. But the marriage merely precipitates a terrible personal disaster, and a series of events involving death and blackmail, which puts Helen herself under suspicion of murder. Can Dr. Thorndyke unravel the mystery in time to save her?

I gave it until the half-way mark and then stopped listening. It also gives a whole new meaning to 'slow-moving'.

Tedious and anti-semitic
