📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus content (tiers from $2.99/month)https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTalesA governess named Violet Hunter comes to Baker Street with an offer she cannot understand: a wealthy, jovial gentleman wishes to hire her at an extravagant salary, but on the strangest of conditions — she must cut off her long chestnut hair, wear a particular electric-blue dress whenever asked, and sit exactly where she is told, her back to the window, laughing at his stories on command; against Sherlock Holmes's uneasy advice she takes the post at the Copper Beeches, a lonely country house near Winchester, where a locked and shuttered wing, a savage mastiff loosed after dark, and a coil of shorn hair hidden in a drawer slowly reveal that she was hired not to teach a child but to play a part in someone else's cruel deception; this is one of Arthur Conan Doyle's most gothic and quietly chilling Holmes cases — the story in which Holmes declares that the smiling English countryside can hide darker sins than the vilest alleys of London — presented complete and unabridged, exactly as Conan Doyle wrote it, from the Midnight Archive, Nocturnal Tales' library of the classic detective stories that built the genre.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is a complete, unabridged reading of The Adventure of the Copper Beeches by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1892 and now in the public domain.

Where do you think evil hides more easily — in the crowded city, or behind the closed doors of a lonely house? 🕵️📖 GET THE EBOOK — $3.99📌 Patreon — included with Writing Table & Archive Society, or one-time purchasehttps://www.patreon.com/posts/156573383🛒 Gumroad — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://nocturnaltalespod.gumroad.com/l/ebookvol2❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales/e/532495❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus contenthttps://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — one-time supporthttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales💛 PayPal — one-time tiphttps://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod🎧 Spotify — follow the showhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0OQ7OEseXIMbMt2NTI7oHy🎧 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nocturnal-tales-mystery-audiobooks-and-crime-stories/id1896195848🧾 CREDITSStory by Arthur Conan Doyle (public domain).
