The Clock Struck One by Fergus Hume ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

The Clock Struck One by Fergus Hume audiobook. Genre: mystery In the sun-baked lanes outside Canterbury, Dora Carew rides her bicycle with the confidence of a modern young woman, but the home she returns to - the lonely Red House - is steeped in old fears. Her guardian, Julian Edermont, has lived in strict seclusion for years, yet a single church service rattles him to the core: at the prayer for deliverance from murder and sudden death, he nearly collapses, and the name of a newly arrived society guest, Lady Burville, begins to haunt his mutterings. Dora turns to her fiance, Dr. Allen Scott, for help, only to find his own behavior growing strained and secretive as the household tensions sharpen. Then, after a night of uneasy silence and the hall clock chiming one, Edermont is found violently slain in his study. With the village hungry for scandal and suspicion shifting from friend to stranger, Dora is forced to sift gossip, grudges, and half-buried history for the truth. Fergus Hume blends country-house unease, Victorian intrigue, and a determined heroine into a whodunit where the past refuses to stay locked behind closed gates.
