There aren't too many audio books that are read by several readers. This is one. It was a pleasure to listen to this book as a PRODUCTION! A good story - I see where it is soon to be a movie?
If you like your mystery to be solved amongst the library stacks, then this is the story for you. Lots of talking through riddles and ending up with Dracula being a compulsive collector of books! Story told in the now popular: remembered action and current action style. Read by several people which helped keep up the interest level.
