At an Antiques Roadshow gathering in New England, a woman comes in with an antique sideboard found to contain fascinating Edgar Allen Poe items that could be worth a fortune. Only what will people do to obtain them? And is everything what it seems?

I enjoyed this story. I do like the occasional mystery without a murder! (Though they are often hard to find in adult stories).

The one thing I really did not like was that it was recorded at a very low volume. I had to blast the CD player to hear it (I DO love ensemble cast recordings), and of course when switching to radio in the car, I would be blown away (not my favorite thing....)

It was also fun to see that everything was in fact, not as it seemed....

Radio program of 2005 AD with a full cast. Very entertaining and fun as you get to use your imagination “seeing what’s happening” instead of vegging in front of the TV. Like the series and I listened to several. 👍🏼
