LibriVox recording of Tales of Terror and Mystery, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for his detective stories, he also wrote other short stories which are masterpieces of mystery and suspense. In some of the stories in "Tales of Terror and Mystery", a suppressed uneasiness gradually builds up and evolves into sheer terror. In others, the story line unexpectedly changes and comes to a horrific conclusion.

Sit back in the comfort of your armchair and let yourself be transported to the strange but compelling world created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Summary by Igor Merfert and Dominic Bojarski)

A murder mystery book to keep you guessing. I will upload a daily chapter.
