The Lady From Nowhere by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a warm July night in 1896, the quiet London suburb of Grangebury is jolted awake by a single cry: murder. Maria Presk, a hard pressed landlady in Paradise Row, has found her newest lodger, the reclusive Miss Ligram, strangled inside a lavish chamber drenched in yellow silk and candlelight. Called in to assist the plodding local inspector, Scotland Yard detective Absolom Gebb arrives to face a puzzle that is equal parts crime scene and theatrical tableau: an eerie 'death-card' left as if to taunt the law, a locked house full of frightened witnesses, and a victim who seems to have stepped into town without history, friends, or even a true name. As newspapers swarm and rumors multiply, Gebb follows the few tangible clues outward from the Yellow Room into a trail of vanished addresses, cautious solicitors, disputed inheritances, and whispers from an old country estate where money and respectability hide dangerous secrets. To solve the killing, he must first discover who Miss Ligram really was, and why someone wanted the lady from nowhere erased before her past could be found.

The Mikado Jewel by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In fog-bound Edwardian London, Patricia Carrol, an out-of-work Irish governess, is scraping by at a shabby Bayswater boarding house optimistically nicknamed The Home of Art. When the lodgers troop off to celebrate a play premiere, Patricia stays behind to tend Mrs. Pentreddle, the landlady's grim, secretive sister. The old woman offers Patricia five pounds for a simple errand: meet a stranger by the Serpentine and collect a small box. But the favor turns into a nightmare when Patricia returns to find Mrs. Pentreddle brutally murdered and the quiet house suddenly crawling with suspicion. With the police asking hard questions and the other boarders whispering, Patricia must piece together what really happened during that empty, silent night. The mysterious box points to a much larger story: a legendary jewel linked to hidden motives, dangerous passions, and a Japanese connection that draws in outsiders far beyond Crook Street. Moving from theatrical boarding-house gossip to family secrets and diplomatic intrigue, Fergus Hume spins a classic puzzle where innocence is fragile, alibis are slippery, and the truth has a long shadow.
