The Mikado Jewel by Fergus Hume ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

The Mikado Jewel by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In fog-bound Edwardian London, Patricia Carrol, an out-of-work Irish governess, is scraping by at a shabby Bayswater boarding house optimistically nicknamed The Home of Art. When the lodgers troop off to celebrate a play premiere, Patricia stays behind to tend Mrs. Pentreddle, the landlady's grim, secretive sister. The old woman offers Patricia five pounds for a simple errand: meet a stranger by the Serpentine and collect a small box. But the favor turns into a nightmare when Patricia returns to find Mrs. Pentreddle brutally murdered and the quiet house suddenly crawling with suspicion. With the police asking hard questions and the other boarders whispering, Patricia must piece together what really happened during that empty, silent night. The mysterious box points to a much larger story: a legendary jewel linked to hidden motives, dangerous passions, and a Japanese connection that draws in outsiders far beyond Crook Street. Moving from theatrical boarding-house gossip to family secrets and diplomatic intrigue, Fergus Hume spins a classic puzzle where innocence is fragile, alibis are slippery, and the truth has a long shadow.
