The Strange Case of Mortimer Fenley by Louis Tracy audiobook. Genre: mystery On a bright June morning in 1912, young artist John Trenholme expects nothing more demanding than an easy commission: travel to a quiet Hertfordshire village and sketch its threatened old-world charm. Instead, a moment of idyllic calm - a young woman, Sylvia, emerging from her dawn swim on the estate of wealthy financier Mortimer Fenley - is shattered by a rifle shot. Fenley is found dead near his own house, and Trenholme, uncomfortably close to the scene, becomes a crucial witness in a case that soon grips London society as much as it unsettles the countryside. As suspicion ripples through the household and the village, every glance, footprint, and half-spoken remark takes on weight, and the question of whether danger can be sensed before it strikes hangs in the air. Scotland Yard sends an unlikely pair to untangle the truth: the solid, methodical Chief Superintendent Winter and the mercurial Inspector Furneaux, whose probing questions and sudden intuitions expose hidden nerves. Caught between attraction, doubt, and the tightening logic of detection, Trenholme must navigate a web of secrets where respectability masks motive and a single shot demands an explanation.
