The Bishop’s Secret by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Bishop Pendle is the Church of England bishop in a small fictitious English cathedral town. Several years into his work, he receives a visit from a disreputable-looking visitor. The bishop is much upset. What transpired between them that has so upset the good churchman? And then there is the murder. Fergus Hume was one of the most prolific and most popular of 19th century novelists. 'Mr. Hume won a reputation second to none for plot of the stirring, ingenious, misleading, and finally surprising kind, and for working out his plot in vigorous and picturesque English. In 'The Bishop's Secret,' while there is no falling off in plot and style, there is a welcome and marvelous broadening out as to the cast of characters, representing an unusually wide range of typical men and women. These are not laboriously described by the author, but are made to reveal themselves in action and speech in a way that has, for the reader, all the charm of personal intercourse with living people....'

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.

The Clock Struck One by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In the sun-baked lanes outside Canterbury, Dora Carew rides her bicycle with the confidence of a modern young woman, but the home she returns to - the lonely Red House - is steeped in old fears. Her guardian, Julian Edermont, has lived in strict seclusion for years, yet a single church service rattles him to the core: at the prayer for deliverance from murder and sudden death, he nearly collapses, and the name of a newly arrived society guest, Lady Burville, begins to haunt his mutterings. Dora turns to her fiance, Dr. Allen Scott, for help, only to find his own behavior growing strained and secretive as the household tensions sharpen. Then, after a night of uneasy silence and the hall clock chiming one, Edermont is found violently slain in his study. With the village hungry for scandal and suspicion shifting from friend to stranger, Dora is forced to sift gossip, grudges, and half-buried history for the truth. Fergus Hume blends country-house unease, Victorian intrigue, and a determined heroine into a whodunit where the past refuses to stay locked behind closed gates.
