Adventures of Sherlock Holmes...

Arthur Conan Doyle

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. When wealthy banker Alexander Holder stumbles breathlessly into 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are confronted with a case that threatens national disgrace and destroys a family’s peace.
Holder has accepted an invaluable national treasure—the Beryl Coronet—as security against a large loan to one of England’s most prominent nobles. He brings the jewelled coronet home to safeguard it overnight, convinced his household is trustworthy. By dawn, disaster strikes: he discovers his own son Arthur clutching the damaged coronet, three priceless beryls torn away and vanished.

Convinced of Arthur’s guilt, the banker moves quickly to involve the police. Yet Arthur stubbornly refuses to explain himself, accepting arrest without protest. To Holder’s despair, his niece Mary also appears devastated by the crime. All evidence seems to point squarely to the young man, and public scandal looms if the missing gems cannot be recovered.

Sherlock Holmes refuses to accept the obvious conclusion. He investigates every shadowed corner of Holder’s Streatham home, studies footprints left in the winter snow, and digs into the tangled relationships within the banker’s family. As Holmes peels back layers of secrets, forbidden love, betrayal and dangerous associates, he uncovers a far more twisted conspiracy than anyone suspected.

This classic Arthur Conan Doyle mystery explores loyalty, chivalry, wrongful suspicion, and the devastating power of infatuation. Can Holmes recover the stolen beryls, clear an unjustly accused young man, and prevent a sensational national scandal?

Immerse yourself in this timeless Sherlock Holmes tale, narrated with immersive period character voice acting, faithful to the original Watson-penned text.

The Perfect Escape

Daniel Hurst

I just wanted a place where we could get away from it all. But coming here was one of the worst mistakes of my life . . . 
 
 
 
After the year Aidan and I have had, we needed some respite. My husband is overworked, whilst I'm anxious about the past, so renting a night at this converted barn house in the countryside seems like the perfect place for the pair of us to relax and unwind. It might be situated at the bottom of a large garden, but it's private enough that we don't have to mingle with the homeowners who live nearby. Or at least that's what I thought . . . 
 
 
 
No sooner have we checked in for our peaceful stay, Aidan and I are invited to share a drink with the owners, Bridgette and Logan, in their opulent home. I want to politely refuse. After all, we came here to get away from people. But Aidan accepts the invitation and that's when things start spiraling out of control. That's when I realize that this is not going to be the perfect escape after all . . .

Alistair MacLean

Reissue of the classic tale of adventure and death on a mysterious Arctic island, from the acclaimed master of action and suspense.
A converted fishing trawler, Morning Rose carries a movie-making crew across the Barents Sea to isolated Bear Island, well above the Arctic Circle, for some on-location filming, but the script is a secret known only to the producer and screenwriter.
En route, members of the movie crew and ship's company begin to die under mysterious circumstances. The crew's doctor, Marlowe, finds himself enmeshed in a violent, multi-layered plot in which very few of the persons aboard are whom they claim to be.
Marlowe's efforts to unravel the plot become even more complicated once the movie crew is deposited ashore on Bear Island, beyond the reach of the law or outside help. The murders continue ashore, and Marlowe, who is not what he seems to be either, discovers they may be related to some forgotten events of the Second World War.
The best-selling author, Alistair MacLean, takes us on a thrilling adventure in Bear Island, a classic fiction that is a top pick among historical military stories. The action-packed plot, filled with mysterious deaths and a multi-layered conspiracy, is set in the chilling isolation of the Arctic Circle, making it a must-read for all adventure enthusiasts.
