The Tragedy at Freyne

By: Anthony Gilbert

Narrated by: Katie Stallworthy

'An unusually well told mystery tale'—NEW YORK TIMES

A haunting country-house mystery of jealousy, secrets, and betrayal from the Golden Age of detective fiction.

When celebrated painter Simon Chandos is found dead in his secluded Sussex home, what first appears to be a suicide soon unravels into something far darker. Around him swirl a cast of uneasy souls: his beautiful but distant wife, her reckless admirer, a mysterious woman in black, and a house filled with secrets too dangerous to name.

As the investigation deepens, jealousies, betrayals, and hidden desires rise to the surface, revealing that every guest at Freyne has something to hide. From the artist’s haunted studio to the locked library where tragedy struck, nothing at Freyne is as it seems.

A gripping country-house mystery rich with atmosphere and psychological tension, The Tragedy at Freyne delivers all the elegance and slow-burn intrigue of the Golden Age detective novel. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers.

wrong narrator, should be a male

a story told in the first person point of view of a male character should not be read by a female narrator. I had a difficult time remembering the main character was a man based on his lilting, very femine voice. Not sure i will finish, though it is an interesting plot.
