Revenge by Robert Barr audiobook.
Genre: mystery
Revenge! (often listed simply as Revenge) gathers Robert Barr's late-19th-century short fiction into a sharp, suspenseful tour of what people will risk when pride is wounded and wrongs demand repayment. Each tale approaches vengeance from a different angle: domestic hatred, political rivalry, professional jealousy, and the cold, careful patience of a mind that will not let go. In 'An Alpine Divorce,' John Bodman and his wife carry their toxic marriage into the Swiss mountains, where breathtaking heights and narrow paths mirror the danger of their private war. Elsewhere, a would-be assassin and a targeted public figure circle each other in a contest of nerve and misdirection, while other stories pivot on accidents that feel engineered, coincidences that look like traps, and grudges that refuse to die. Barr writes with brisk wit and a taste for moral irony, letting readers feel the lure of payback even as consequences gather in the background. The result is a collection that asks a single relentless question: when revenge seems justified, what does it finally cost the avenger?
