The Silver Bullet by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a walking tour across the lonely English moors, Dr. Jim Herrick and his friend Robin Joyce stumble on an eerie sight: a great house blazing with light, its doors standing wide as if inviting anyone in. Inside the silent rooms they find not a host, but a corpse - Colonel Carr, shot and left in the middle of his strange, deserted grandeur. The discovery pulls the two friends into a case where every detail feels deliberately staged, and one small piece of evidence, a particular silver bullet, hints at a carefully hidden story behind the killing. When the authorities begin their routine inquiries, Jim cannot let the matter rest. He digs into Carr's past, his secretive household, and the knot of resentments surrounding a man many seemed to fear or despise. As suspicions spread through the countryside and polite conversations turn sharp with implication, Jim and Robin must decide whom to trust, what to reveal, and how far to press for the truth. Fergus Hume delivers a classic whodunit packed with atmosphere, shifting motives, and the unsettling sense that the most dangerous person may be the one who looks least capable of violence.

The Sacred Herb by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Bored with the easy privileges of his title and fortune, Lord Prelice is goaded into action by his formidable aunt and sent to the Old Bailey to witness a sensational murder trial. The accused is Mona Chent, a poised young woman charged with killing her wealthy uncle, Sir Oliver Lanwin, at his country house, Lanwin Grange. Her only champion is Edward Shepworth, a struggling barrister and Mona's fiance, who must fight not only the prosecution's evidence but the hungry certainty of London gossip. As Prelice listens, a baffling detail keeps returning: Mona insists that, before the death, the library filled with a strange white smoke and a heavy, sickly perfume that left her helpless. That story seems absurd until Prelice begins to uncover Sir Oliver's fascination with South Seas relics, forbidden ceremonies, and a rare plant said to grow only on distant Easter Island. With the gruff, brilliant Dr. Horace drawn reluctantly into the fray, Prelice finds himself moving from courtroom drama to clandestine dinners, masked revels, and perilous journeys to the Kentish coast, where greed, jealousy, and old secrets converge. Part mystery, part occult-tinged thriller, The Sacred Herb probes how easily appearances can condemn, and how hard the truth is to burn clear.

The Spider by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Arthur Vernon, member of the Athenian club and member of “society,” has a secret. His father has died and left him destitute, so he has begun a private investigation agency under the name “Nemo.” It would be disastrous if this were known among his associates at the club, and especially if his intended in-laws found out. But he is quite sure no one else knows, that is until his old college classmate, Constantine Maunders, visits him with a proposition he can’t refuse. Maunders knows all, and he wants to be made a partner in the agency, providing “Nemo” with black-mail worthy information on other people in society in return for a share of the financial rewards for their silence. Vernon is appalled, particularly as “Nemo” is engaged in solving a high profile blackmail case. These are the beginning of Vernons conundrums as the clues unfold.
