Dear fellow book lovers,

Listening to Murder at Bridge by Anne Austin was an intriguing and nostalgic journey into the world of classic mystery fiction. This audiobook, narrated by LibriVox Volunteers, offers an abridged version of the story, spanning nearly nine hours. It’s a tale filled with suspense, clever twists, and the charm of a bygone era, making it a delightful listen for fans of traditional whodunits.

The narration by LibriVox Volunteers is a commendable effort, especially given the collaborative nature of the project. Each volunteer brings their own style and energy to the story, which adds variety to the listening experience. However, as with many LibriVox recordings, the quality of narration can vary between chapters. Some narrators are more engaging and expressive than others, which occasionally disrupts the flow of the story. That said, the overall effort is impressive, and the narrators’ passion for bringing this classic to life is evident.

The story itself is a well-crafted mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. Anne Austin’s writing is sharp and engaging, with a keen eye for detail and character development. The plot revolves around a murder that takes place during a bridge game, and the investigation that follows is filled with red herrings, unexpected revelations, and a satisfying resolution. The setting and characters are vividly drawn, immersing the listener in the world of small-town intrigue and high-stakes drama.

As this is an abridged version, some of the depth and nuance of the original text may be missing. While the core mystery remains intact, I occasionally felt that certain scenes or character interactions could have been explored further. For listeners who enjoy fully fleshed-out narratives, this might be a slight drawback.

The production quality of the audiobook is decent, though it reflects the limitations of a volunteer-based project. The audio is generally clear, but there are occasional inconsistencies in volume and pacing between chapters. These minor issues don’t detract significantly from the overall experience, but they are worth noting.

Overall, Murder at Bridge is a captivating and enjoyable listen, perfect for fans of classic mysteries and suspenseful tales. While the abridged format and varying narration quality may not appeal to everyone, the story’s clever plotting and engaging characters make it a worthwhile experience. For me

Warmest regards,
Marcus Rivera
