The Mystery of the Sycamore by Carolyn Wells audiobook.

Genre: mystery

When Curtis Keefe, trusted secretary to former Massachusetts governor Samuel Appleby, accompanies his employer to a tense weekend at Sycamore Ridge, he expects political bargaining, not bloodshed. Appleby has come to the Connecticut estate of Daniel Wheeler, an old rival living under the shadow of a humiliating past and a punishing, conditional pardon that keeps his family balanced on the edge of ruin. Appleby wants Wheeler's public support for Appleby Jr.'s run for governor, and he is willing to trade influence, mercy, or pressure to get it. But the house is already a tinderbox of grievances: a proud host determined to protect his name, a family with everything to lose, and a web of loyalties stretched thin by money, inheritance, and love. Then, amid a sudden commotion and a strange atmosphere of whispered stories and late-night sounds, a gunshot shatters the uneasy peace - and Appleby is found dead in his chair, a bullet through his heart. With motives multiplying and local authorities overwhelmed, master detective Fleming Stone and his quick-witted assistant Fibsy arrive to untangle alibis, decode human nature, and expose the truth hiding in Sycamore Ridge's shadows.
