Narrator Mary Peiffer's sometimes whimsical tone acquaints us with the Kelling family and the puzzling story surrounding the burial of great-uncle Frederick. While the males voices could be more distinct, the many details of secrecy and betrayal move proficiently to the end. B.J.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine--
