Anna, Where Are You?

Anna, Where Are You?

Patricia Wentworth

Hired to trace Anna Ball, who has vanished, Miss Maud Silver encounters an eccentric art colony, bank robberies and counterfeiting. As with other Miss Silver mysteries, the story relies on character development. Nadia May reads clearly and distinguishes individuals well; her British voice is ideal for this genteel period thriller (1951). Agatha Christie fans will enjoy this one. The narration is speeded up to fit six cassettes, but it is not hard to follow.

Henry Starr was one of the most notorious criminals of the Old West, famed far and wide for robbing two banks in the same town at the same time--a feat even the Dalton Gang couldn't pull off. Still, Henry Starr was a reluctant outlaw. An honest, hardworking seventeen-year-old Cherokee cowboy with a steady job and a steady girl, he was framed and arrested for a crime he didn't commit. When he was falsely accused and convicted a second time, Starr figured that since he was branded a criminal, he might as well become one--and proceeded to make himself one of the most wanted men in the West.
