About this listen

A new look at the 1937 abduction of a wealthy wife and mother, based on previously classified FBI documents.

When she was kidnapped from Long Meadow Farm in Stony Brook, New York, in 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons was the heir to a vast fortune among Long Island's wealthy elite. The crime shocked the nation and was front-page news for several months.

J. Edgar Hoover personally assigned his best FBI agents to the case, and within a short time, Parsons's husband and their live-in housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova, had become prime suspects. Botched ransom attempts, clashes between authorities, and romantic intrigue kept the investigation mired in drama. The crime remained unsolved. Now, in this book, former Suffolk County detective Steven C. Drielak reveals previously classified FBI documents-and pieces together the mystery of the Alice Parsons kidnapping.

the attention to detail is excellent

I was very interested in this story, which I had not heard before. It was fascinating to hear about the direct involvement of J Edgar Hoover at the outset of the FBI. However the whole thing was negatively impacted by the narrators voice which was monotone and rather like someone impersonating a train spotter or accountant. The most annoying and distracting thing to me though was the constant inability to deal with the names in the story. Parsons car became Parsonses car and Williams story became Williamses story. For that reason I couldn’t wait to finish the book which is a shame.

Interesting story, irritating narration
