About this listen

When Lord Montbarry dies suddenly in his Venice palace, and his courier goes missing, suspicion is instantly thrown on his new wife, the beautiful Countess Narona, who has collected his life insurance and fled to America. Montbarry's former fiance, Agnes, still harboring feelings for him, and Henry Westwick, Montbarry's younger brother, decide to investigate this tragedy and head for the palace, now a hotel. Not long after their arrival they experience strange and unsettling occurrences, and the circumstances of Montbarry's death begin to unravel.

Plot almost works backwards in contrast to contemporary "mystery" plots. Beginning well with character development and inquiry, but looses steam a little after that. The horror elements are left too late in my opinion, resulting in the plot conclusion feeling flat and hurried. Other readers may feel completely differently. Still a worthy read.

Not the best W. Collins in my opinion
