As a Thief in the Night

As A Thief in the Night By R. Austin Freeman Narrated by Graham Scott When irascible clergyman Amos Monkhouse, visiting from the North, finds the condition of his invalid brother Harold so much worse than he had expected, he calls in a specialist. But when Harold then suddenly dies an investigation reveals that he was poisoned with arsenic. The police can make nothing of the conflicting evidence beyond the certainty that only someone in the dead man's immediate domestic circle could be responsible. A childhood friend of Harold's wife, young barrister Rupert Mayfield, convinced that there must be another explanation, enlists the help of Dr John Thorndyke to lift the shadow that hangs over his friends. But can even Thorndyke unravel a case where there appears to be not a particle of positive evidence against any one person?Public Domain (P)2023 Voices of Today
