Amusement Only by Richard Marsh ~ Full Audiobook [mystery]

Amusement Only by Richard Marsh audiobook.

Genre: mystery

Amusement Only is a spirited Edwardian collection of twelve tales by Richard Marsh, each built to entertain while keeping a faint edge of danger just out of sight. In The Lost Duchess, London society is jolted when the Duke of Datchet learns his wife has seemingly vanished from a sealed carriage, and a brazen ransom demand turns a glittering dinner engagement into a race against time. In The Strange Occurrences in Canterstone Jail, a routine morning becomes a crisis when an entire prison finds its cell doors mysteriously refusing to open, testing order, authority, and nerves. Twins! spins a brisk comedy of confusion as lookalike brothers become entangled in other people's grudges and debts, while A Vision of the Night drifts into uncanny territory when an artist paints a face from a dream and is confronted by the living woman behind it. Between the shocks and puzzles, Marsh threads sly social satire: patent-medicine schemes, domestic misadventures, and romances that feel like traps. By turns witty, suspenseful, and eerie, these stories ask how easily identity, reputation, and reality can be swapped for sheer amusement.
