Sherlock Holmes and the Bells of Dunmere Abbey | Locked Room Mystery Audiobook

from Nocturnal Tales: Mystery Audiobooks and Crime Stories · host Nicolas and Dora – Nocturnal Tales

Yorkshire coast, November: a baronet is found dead in his locked study with salt water pooled near the hearth, seaweed pressed beneath the bolted door, and no earthly way in or out — for three consecutive nights before his death a bell tolled from beneath the sea, the drowned monks of Dunmere Abbey ringing judgment upon the house above the cliffs — and when Sherlock Holmes arrives he finds a replaced bell-pull with a new cord married to an old tassel, pale cave sand in a locked drawer, candle wax beneath the desk, the name of a long-wrecked ship no one will speak aloud, and a housekeeper whose thirty-two years of spotless loyalty may have been thirty-two years of waiting; entirely fictional in homage to classic detective fiction, The Bells of Dunmere Abbey is a locked-room mystery about guilt remembered, grief obeyed, and the human habit of dressing wickedness in a shroud when plain clothes would do.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS This is an original mystery presented as a respectful homage to Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS Mrs. Pike served the house for thirty-two years, replaced the bell-pull cord two days before the murder, burned the old one, and placed seaweed beneath a locked door — she dressed a killing in the clothes of a legend so that the house itself would seem to condemn Sir Alistair. Was her revenge justice, or did she become the very thing she condemned? 🕵️📖 GET THE EBOOK — $3.99 If you'd like a copy to keep, here's where to find it: 📌 Patreon — included with Writing Table and Archive Society memberships, or one-time purchase https://www.patreon.com/posts/156573383 🛒 Gumroad — one-time purchase, EPUB + PDF included https://nocturnaltalespod.gumroad.com/l/ebookvol2 ❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — one-time purchase, EPUB + PDF included buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales/e/532495 Both formats included with every purchase — EPUB for Kindle, Kobo, and Apple Books · PDF for tablets.❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS 📌 Patreon (ad-free episodes, early access, bonus content – tiers from $2.99/month) https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales ❤️ Buy Me a Coffee (one-time support) https://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales 💛 PayPal (one-time tip) https://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod 🎧 Spotify (follow the show) https://open.spotify.com/show/0OQ7OEseXIMbMt2NTI7oHy?si=FY8mgTx1SDqBdR7CJgymGw 📚 CHILDREN'S BOOK (Amazon) Sherlock Paws and the Diamond of the Nile https://amzn.to/3MRzLNq🧾 CREDITS Written by Nocturnal Tales.
