The Sealed Message by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

On a blazing summer afternoon in an English riverside village, friends Gerald Haskins and Tod Macandrew are fishing when their line snags something far stranger than a trout: a tin cylinder sealed tight against the water. Inside lies a phonograph record, and on it a clear, haunting voice - a young woman calling herself Mavis Durham - begs for help, hinting that she is being held in secret and waiting for a rescuer she calls her fairy prince. What begins as a half-magical curiosity quickly turns urgent when Gerald learns of a local mystery: a secluded girl kept out of sight in a place whispered about as the Pixy's House, watched over by a formidable guardian named Bellaria. Driven by a mix of compassion, skepticism, and fascination, Gerald sets out to trace the voice back to its source. But the closer he gets to Mavis and the truth behind the sealed message, the more he finds himself entangled in hidden histories, dangerous deceptions, and a crime that forces the village to choose between gossip and justice. Fergus Hume blends romance and suspense into a classic puzzle of identity, motive, and courage - where a single recorded plea can put lives at risk.
