Mediocre Mystery
Elf Brown
I wouldn't say this qualifies as a true mystery. There is nothing clever or suspenseful. It is more of a story about a coward inflicting misery on innocent people and ruining their lives, as the abrupt and lazy ending reveals. The writer does everything he can to build the guilty party up, as a noble man. However, this man allows an incredible amount of life-altering suffering, of a great many innocent people, to go on, for months, before confessing, at the last possible moment. There is nothing noble, in that. The readers did a fine job.
Not much mystery
Paul Williams
The reader was good, apart from the traditional American mispronunciation of British place names. The story was a touching tale of wifely devotion, but not much good as a whodunnit. The last-minute (almost literally) confession by an obvious suspect falls flat. With all the Russian first names to choose from, why use one that doesn't exist -- Paula?

I enjoyed it although the purpose of the crime was not reveiled
