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.

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 Turnpike House by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a mist-choked November evening at a lonely crossroads, the decaying Turnpike House shelters a frightened woman and her young son, Gilbert, both dreading the return of the boy's brutal father - a recently released convict named Jenner. When violence erupts and Jenner is found dead, the scandal hardens into legend, and the ruined house becomes synonymous with murder, misery, and a silence that will not speak. Years later, the past resurfaces at Hollyoaks, the country home of prosperous merchant Sebastian Cass. His daughter Ruth is impulsive, curious, and dangerously compassionate - and she has given her heart to Neil Webster, a gifted violinist with a fragile constitution and a secret connection to the long-ago crime. As Ruth's family pushes her toward the safer match of Geoffrey Heron, Neil's haunted reticence and Cass's anxious interference hint that the Turnpike House still holds power over their lives. Drawn by love and troubled by unanswered questions, Geoffrey begins to follow a trail of vanished evidence, whispered motives, and uneasy witnesses - from a missing pocket-book to incriminating trinkets and the shadow of blackmail. Each step toward the truth threatens to destroy reputations, shatter loyalties, and decide who deserves freedom - and who will pay for the sins of the past.
