Hi Lynnet,

Below is my contribution to the collection:

https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/sms011_mysteryofroom16_ad_128kb.mp3

"The Mystery of Room 16"
Anne Austin (1895-)
Internet Archive, July 1925 edition of True Detective magazine, pp. 46-49, 66-69: https://archive.org/details/truedetectivejul1925/page/n47/mode/2up
Running time: 35.37

I was unable to find a death date for her - even the Library of Congress doesn't include it - but here is a little bio on her:
Born in 1895, Anne Austin began by writing romance novels about young women in the mid 1920's but soon turned her talents to producing a string of mysteries through the 1930's, some of which appeared as serials in newspapers.. Many of these mysteries feature as the detective "Bonnie" Dundee, Special Investigator for the District Attorney, including Murder Backstairs, The Avenging Parrot, Murder at Bridge, and One Drop of Blood. Several of her mysteries were translated into French, including Le Pigeon Noir and Le Crime Parfume. Despite her success as a novelist, Anne Austin disappears from the public record after the 1930's.

The mystery of the mystery writer!

Thank you!

Thank you. Depending on where you are located, the death date may be very important. In the US, 1925 or earlier is Public Domain in most cases, but other countries go by the death date... for example, in Europe it is 70 years after death. In some places, it is 50 years. For someone born in 1895, it is conceivable that either of these would apply. Just because she “disappeared” in the 1930s doesn’t mean she died... she may have “retired” to raise a family, for example.

Makes sense! I'm in the U.S., so I was basing it on the year of publication (and the public domain notation in the Archives). She seems to have stopped writing, at least under that name, in 1939. Her daughter was a famous child prodigy, who also slipped into obscurity. There are some sources that list her death year as 1975; others as c. 1950. I looked her up on Ancestry, but there are too many Anne Austins to be sure. I noticed there's a 2014 Librivox recording of one of her novels, which was published in 1931 and is on Gutenberg, which also lists her dates as (1895-).

I saw she is already in the catalog.
But as you are in the US, you are safe.

Hi Lynette:

Thonrton is 27:01, not 37:01. But it's a typo and can be corrected anytime.
