Synopsis

An ex–Scotland Yard inspector is pulled out of retirement to investigate a murder and a family’s fiery legacy in this classic British mystery. Sir John Appleby has left Scotland Yard behind to retire to the country—but there’s no escaping crime. In the middle of a hot summer night, he is woken up by a phone call. Inspector Hyland of the Sherris Magna police is in dire need of assistance after a local baronet has been murdered . . . Of course, it’s far more complex than that. Authorities believe Sir Oliver Dromio was hit over the head with a revolver then burned in his study’s fireplace. There’s also the matter of Oliver’s brothers. The late baronet was a triplet who lost his two brothers in a fire forty years ago. Was Oliver’s murder an act of retribution? Appleby makes his way to Sherris Hall where he gets caught up in a family’s melodrama in a household teeming with legend and tragedy. Sifting through family secrets in squabbles, Appleby must smoke out a killer before they strike again . . .Praise for Michael Innes and Inspector Appleby “The author’s ingenuity and wit are seemingly endless.” —The Daily Telegraph “Altogether a brilliant piece of work.” —Birmingham Post “Innes is in a class by himself when it comes to detective fiction.” —The Times Literary Supplement

Superstar FBI Agent Morgan Cross was at the height of her career when she was framed, wrongly imprisoned, and sent to do 10 hard years in prison.

The Bird That Fished At Dawn -...

Alistair Croft

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In The Bird That Fished at Dawn, Holmes and Dr. Watson are called to a quiet garden beside the Thames, where valuable koi carp are disappearing from dark ponds surrounded by mist and Japanese bridges.

The investigation leads Holmes through London’s fog-covered docklands, old Eastern traditions, and strange patterns connecting animals, memory, and human habit. 
This novella combines the classic atmosphere of Sherlock Holmes with the quieter tone of a cozy mystery — filled with river fog, subtle suspense, and a mystery driven as much by nature and instinct as by crime itself. 
Perfect for readers who enjoy: 
- classic Sherlock Holmes stories 
- atmospheric mysteries 
- cozy mysteries with depth 
- foggy Victorian London settings 
- animals and unusual puzzles
