About this listen
Thorndyke Novels 5-8
By R. Austin Freeman
Narrated by Graham Scott
Four more full-length adventures of R. Austen Freeman's great 'scientific investigator', Dr John Thorndyke: First, young Helen Vardon marries a man she detests in order to save her father from imprisonment; but her selfless act only precipitates a still greater disaster, and puts her under suspicion of murder. Then, in The Cat's Eye, Thorndyke unravels both an apparent robbery gone wrong and the still more complex mystery of Miss Blake's family inheritance and the cat's eye pendant. In The Mystery of Angelina Frood a woman in hiding from her drug-addled husband mysteriously vanishes into the fog. And in The Shadow of the Wolf, a husband disappears immediately after apparently sending an incriminating letter to his solicitor; but Thorndyke soon begins to question the whole chain of events.

Enjoable
The first story, Helen Vardon’s Confession, is very slow and not my cup of tea. The other three stories are enjoyable and well-read.

I love the Thorndyke books - but these are far from the best
Weak selection and not great narration.
Narrator, in my opinion, isn’t good at women which is an issue since one book is all from the PO of a woman and another has a dominant central character who is female. So half the book. Plus there’s a policeman he uses a really really irritating voice for and a hero for whom he uses a crusty old man’ voice.
All this is subjective - You may enjoy it. But find it frustrating.
I contacted Audible over 10 years ago asking them to get these into their catalogue and there are some novels/novellas that I think out shine Conan Doyle.
I wish they’d put a really top notch narrator (Samuel West I’d listen to reading a phone directory) good production values and a select the tales that aren’t the most dated and least interesting……
Opportunity missed…. Hopefully to be put right? In the meantime I’m going to return this. Something I’ve only done a handful of times in almost 20 years 😱
