"Mystery" is a good classification. The supernatural elements in many of Futrelle's stories are like the ghostly, masked villains in a Scooby-Doo mystery. Somebody is always pulling the strings. I'm fine with classifying the stories along different lines. Just let me know. No problem. Than...

I'm not sure where to post this, but when I click the "play" button for the 1st recording in Collection 34, I get a "Page Not Found" error.
Do others get this error? Could this be resolved?

Thanks.

Thanks, Rapunzelina. Sounds good.
My forum name in the catalog would be fine.
