Audiobooks by Jacques Futrelle

'It is quite possible that the time will come when literary historians, discussing works created in English in the twentieth century, will only briefly dwell on the works of serious writers, and all attention will be focused on the extensive and diverse staging of detective stories.. And then they will have to answer first, which explains the unheard-of popularity of this genre.' This, perhaps contradictory, but remarkable statement belongs to the critic of detective fiction, the famous English writer William Somerset Maugham. What could be more exciting and interesting than a well-written detective story? The audiobook is read by American actor Brent Bradley in English. Content: 1. Jacques Futrelle. The Phantom Motor 2.

The Thinking Machine at Work

“Logic will solve any problem; not most of them, but any problem.” —The Thinking Machine Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, with the help of his friend Hutchison Hatch, solves a variety of mysteries using cold, hard logic. No matter how twisted the trail of clues or how clever the perpetrator, Professor Van Dusen, aptly dubbed “The Thinking Machine,” reminds us that “two and two make four, not some times, but all the time.” So when a woman begs a surgeon to amputate part of her finger or when a pearl necklace disappears from a woman’s neck at a party or when a man presents the court with his “perfect” alibi, The Thinking Machine methodically investigates all of the (logical) possibilities. In fact, the author’s own wife, May Futrelle, set out to stump her husband’s talented detective with an unsolvable mystery of her own, in which a lonely traveler takes a wrong turn and ends up in a mysterious house. Was she successful? Discover for yourself in this original audio compilation produced by Skyboat Media for Blackstone Publishing.
