Publisher's summary

"The Uttermost Farthing" is a mystery by R. Austin Freeman.

Excerpt:
Humphrey Challoner was a great savant spoiled by untimely wealth. When I knew him he had lapsed into a mere dilettante; at least, so I thought at the time, though subsequent revelations showed him in a rather different light. He had some reputation as a criminal anthropologist and had formerly been well known as a comparative anatomist, but when I made his acquaintance, he seemed to be occupied chiefly in making endless additions to the specimens in his private museum. This collection I could never quite understand. It consisted chiefly of human and other mammalian skeletons, all of which presented certain small deviations from the normal; but its object I could never make out - until after his death; and then, indeed, the revelation was a truly astounding one.

Waste of Reading Time

My brother loves this author. He must have better offerings. This book is dreadful. Possibly as bad a revenge tale as ever written. The reader makes things even more dreadful. I can credit her with having a pleasant voice and for reading without stumbling. But that’s all. She reads in a monotone with a soporific quality. And she seems to be unfamiliar with high school and college level writing: the reading is peppered with mispronounced words. Avoid this one. Dreadful story; dreadful reading.
