During the down time I've recently taken in order to get some DIY projects finished, I did get around to recording another solo audiobook for LibriVox. The book is a mystery aimed at young adults and teens called The Secret Mark by Roy J. Snell.
Student Lucile Tucker works part-time at the library of the large
university she attends in Chicago to help pay her tuition. One night,
while closing the library for the evening, she glimpses a small child – a
girl – in the stacks. Carefully following her, Lucile can’t believe her
eyes when the child, unaware that she has been seen, manages to steal a
valuable book from the collection and practically disappear from the
library right before Lucile’s eyes. This is only the beginning of her
search for why this child took this book (and others). Lucile enlists
the assistance of her good friend and roommate Florence, a fellow
student, to attempt to solve this mystery on her own. She can’t bear the
thought of this sweet-faced child being turned over to the police
despite her apparent thefts. Enter the world of these college women as
they brave the city streets at night in unsavory sections of Chicago on
their quest. Who is the elderly man in the crumbling cottage? What is
the significance of the ‘mark’ inside the front covers of the books? Has
someone been shadowing the women on their search…
This book, like all LibriVox audiobooks, is free and can be streamed or downloaded from here.
