MP3 Audio CD. The Stillwater Tragedy I It is close upon daybreak. The great wall of pines and hemlocks that keep off the west wind from Stillwater stretches black and indeterminate against the sky. At intervals a dull, metallic sound, like the guttural twang of a violin string, rises form the frog-invested swamp skirting the highway. Suddenly the birds stir in their nests over there in the woodland, and break into that wild jargoning chorus with which they herald the advent of a new day. In the apple-orchards and among the plum-trees of the few gardens in Stillwater, the wrens and the robins and the blue-jays catch up the crystal crescendo, and what a melodious racket they make of it with their fifes and flutes and flageolets! The village lies in a trance like death. Possibly not a soul hears this music, unless it is the watchers at the bedside of Mr. Leonard Tappleton, the richest man in town, who has lain dying these three days, and cannot last until sunrise. Or perhaps some mother, drowsily… Read More

MP3 Audio CD. Considered to be the very first novel in English literature to have a detective for a protagonist, The Stillwater Tragedy by Thomas Bailey Aldrich was first published in 1880, but the story and the style are as fresh and as exciting today as they were more than a hundred years ago. Known principally for his poetic work and for his autobiography, Aldrich takes an excursion into the world of prose with this innovative novel that mirrors not only his poetic take on the world, but also his talent as a storyteller.As it can be expected of any detective story, the novel starts with a murder and it ends with the identification of the murderer. What is in the middle is the life story of Richard Shackford, the primary suspect in the murder case, investigating his own case. The setting against which the story unfolds is Stillwater, a small manufacturing town in New England, with all the characters in the book being decent hard-working people whose lives are disturbed by the murder. Peace is… Read More
