The Adventure of the Copper Beeches by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When a highly paid governess position comes with baffling rules and unsettling secrecy, Violet Hunter turns to the one man in London who never dismisses a puzzle. In The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson meet a young woman offered an extraordinary salary by the stern Jephro Rucastle, but the work at his remote country house comes with conditions that make no sense: cut your hair, wear a particular dress, and spend hours sitting at a window as though performing for an unseen audience. As Violet settles into life at the Copper Beeches, odd details pile up - a menacing dog, locked doors, sudden restrictions, and the uneasy behavior of the household. Holmes follows the trail from the city to the countryside, using sharp observation and quiet daring to uncover what lies behind the governess role and why someone is so determined to control what Violet sees and does. Tense, atmospheric, and filled with questions of identity, power, and confinement, this classic case shows Holmes at his most relentless as a simple job offer turns into a dangerous investigation.
