The Greatest Mysteries of All Time : Volume 6

This sixth volume of The Greatest Mysteries of All Time offers a variety of works by some of the most lauded writers in the field of suspense and literature. This engaging collection includes stories by 19th and early 20th century greats such as Wilkie Collins and Edith Wharton, as well as more modern fare from the pen of John Gardner, author of several James Bond novels. Literary fans will be riveted by Aldous Huxley's brilliant "The Gioconda Smile," delight to the delicious comic crime gem by James Thurber, "The Catbird Seat," and discover lesser known— but no less intriguing— works by John Collier, C.P. Donnel, Jr., and Melville Davisson Post. The stories included here are:

" The Chaser" by John Collier, read by Orson Welles

" The Terribly Strange Bed" by Wilkie Collins, read by David Warner

" Recipe for Murder" by C.P. Donnel, Jr., read by Christopher Cazenove
