This is your audiobook for May, in which the club has chosen to read a novel with a Scottish setting, and so in keeping with that, we have a Scottish themed audiobook for you. The Edinburgh Mystery was first published in The Old Man in the Corner in 1908. It features her recurring character “the old man in the corner”, Bill Owen, a non descript armchair detective who spends his time eavesdropping on conversations at the ABC teashop on the corner of Norfold Street and the Strand in London. The other protagonist of the stories is one Polly Burton, a lady journalist and a protégé of the old man’s who listens to tales of his exploits.

After listening, if you'd like to discuss this story with other members or make suggestions for me to record in the future, head over to the audiobook club area of the forum to do that.
