Fletcher Lot of 17 Detective Crime Mystery Audiobooks in 17 MP3 Audio CDs J. S. Fletcher(1863 - 1935) Joseph Smith Fletcher was a British journalist and writer. He wrote more than 230 books on a wide variety of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction. He was one of the leading writers of detective fiction in the "Golden Age". Fletcher was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, the son of a clergyman. He was educated at Silcoates School in Wakefield. After some study of law, he became a journalist. His first books published were poetry. He then moved on to write numerous works of both historical fiction and history, many dealing with Yorkshire, which led to his selection as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. In 1914 he wrote his first detective novel and went on to write over a hundred, many featuring the private investigator Ronald Camberwell. Dead Men's MoneyRead by Multiple Readers Running Time:7:39:02 in 1 MP3 Audio CDThis classic mystery produces its first dead body during a clandestine midnight meeting.

Fletcher originally published in The Black Mask, a magazine of mystery and detective stories, in April 1922. A death on the moors, a missing will and a number of possible suspects will keep the listener guessing right through the final chapters. In the Mayor's ParlourRead by Nicholas Clifford Running Time:07:49:37 in 1 MP3 Audio CD“Rotten borough” is a term that goes back to the 18th century, and it used to mean a parliamentary constituency in which a few property owners, or sometimes a single one, could choose the local member of parliament. The three Reform Acts of 1832, 1857 and 1884 brought that system to an end and by the time this book begins, a rotten borough has taken on its more modern meaning of a constituency whos rules allow a handful of people to profit secretly from the borough’s finances. In one such borough a new mayor, victor by a margin of single vote, has been working on a reform program and is found mysteriously murdered in his office -- the Mayor’s Parlour. As it happens, his young nephew is visiting from London, and is determined to find the killer. It’s no easy task, and the final discovery leaves him, as well as many others, surprised. Ravensdene CourtRead by Nicholas CliffordRunning Time:08:43:29 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Leonard Middlebrook, a young attorney with, among other things, a bibliographical interest, accepts an invitation to lonely Ravensdene Court on the Northumbrian coast. There, Francis Raven, the owner, recently retired to the family property after an Indian career, finds himself in possession of an enormous number of old books and other items, and needs help in evaluating them. The attorney, though a man of quiet life -- even dull, as he puts it -- finds himself suddenly at the center of a darkening mystery that stretches from the British Isles to the Far East, and eventually threatens not only him but also the young and spirited Miss Raven, Francis’s niece. Scarhaven KeepRead by Cate Barratt Running Time:7:33:51in 1 MP3 Audio CD The northern English sea coast provides a compelling backdrop for this genre of writing; a mysterious disappearance, a love interest, and plot twists 'se mijotent' to produce an intriguing read. The Borough TreasurerRead by MaryAnn SpiegelRunning Time:07:56:03in 1 MP3 Audio CD Messrs. Mallalieu and Cotherstone were outsiders who had built a prosperous business in Highmarket and even been elected as Mayor and Treasurer of the borough. But when an ex-detective moves to town, 30 years of respectability is suddenly threatened by revelations from the past. The Charing Cross MysteryRead by Kirsten Wever Running Time:09:02:05in 1 MP3 Audio CD Here's another intriguing mystery by J. S. Fletcher, centering on why a former high-level police official was murdered, and on whether - and if so how - the murder was linked to two glamorous and high-profile sisters, one of whose photo was found in the dead man's pocket. As usual, Fletcher creates a number of different detectives -- a lawyer, his assistant, several policemen, a police spy, and even the dead man's granddaughter -- following various lines of inquiry. These lines converge rapidly in the last few chapters, when the author lets the reader weave them together into a coherent whole: the solution to the mystery. The Chestermarke InstinctRead by MaryAnn Spiegel Running Time:7:20:51in 1 MP3 Audio CD Bank manager John Hornbury is missing, as are securities and jewels from the bank’s vault.
