Mystery of a Hansom Cab by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

“The following report appeared in the Argus newspaper of Saturday, the 28th July, 18--

“Truth is said to be stranger than fiction, and certainly the extraordinary murder which took place in Melbourne on Thursday night, or rather Friday morning, goes a long way towards verifying this saying. A crime has been committed by an unknown assassin, within a short distance of the principal streets of this great city, and is surrounded by an impenetrable mystery. ...

“On the twenty-seventh day of July, at the hour of twenty minutes to two o'clock in the morning, a hansom cab drove up to the police station in Grey Street, St. Kilda, and the driver made the startling statement that his cab contained the body of a man who he had reason to believe had been murdered....” (Excerpt from the first chapter.)

Hagar of the Pawn-Shop by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Hagar Stanley, a beautiful young Gypsy, is driven by sexual harassment to leave her tribe and seek refuge with her uncle Jacob, a miserly London pawnbroker. He dies after teaching Hagar the business, and she takes over running the popshop till the legitimate heir can be traced. In the odd assortment of objects that pass across her counter, Hagar uncovers one mystery after another. Some items are linked to actual crimes, others to iniquitous acts of human deceit and betrayal. Whether investigating independently or alongside the police, Hagar combines her native shrewdness with woman's intuition to help untangle the webs of wickedness she encounters, that justice might prevail in the end. Though the individual mysteries in Hagar of the Pawn-shop may be read separately, they are so arranged by Fergus Hume as to form a linked set, with characters from earlier stories popping up again later on, one as Hagar's love interest and another as her nemesis.

Red Money by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

At Lord Garvington's country estate, a languid shooting-season house party goes looking for novelty in Abbot's Wood: a traveling Romany camp offering fortunes, music, and a brush with the forbidden. The excursion would be harmless gossip, if the neighborhood were not already nervous about a string of burglaries - and if Garvington were not so eager to boast that any midnight intruder will be met with a bullet. When gunfire shatters the quiet and a wounded stranger is seen fleeing across the moonlit grounds, the Manor's polished social games turn instantly lethal. As the authorities close in, suspicion spreads through the guests and the servants alike, and the old tensions beneath the dinner-table chatter boil over: Lady Agnes Pine's uneasy marriage to a powerful millionaire, the return of her impoverished cousin Noel Lambert, and the sharp-eyed interference of Clara Greeby, an heiress with a talent for asking the questions polite society avoids. What begins as a country-house mystery leads into blackmail, hidden identities, and an inheritance whose origin is whispered about as 'red money' - wealth bought at too high a price.
