recording of Dead Men's Shoes by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Read in English by Michele Eaton; angelic1ang; chocmuse; Leena Emsley; K. Adrian Stroet; cathykirchner; Mary Herndon Bell; michelekilpatrick; Judi Mason Sybil, a gentlewoman who has to work for a living, finally finds employment as her rich uncle's house keeper.
Nothing could be better: she would finally have an easy job in which she is treated well, and inherit her uncle's money after his death. But then she falls in love with the wrong man. When her uncle is poisoned, suspicion falls upon her.
How would she be able to clear her name? What really happened to her uncle? This is a first rate murder mystery, for fans of Wilkie Collins.
Yet it is also a story about love: family love, romantic love, and the love we bear for our community. - Summary by Stav Nisser.

Not a single chapter felt like filler. Mary Elizabeth Braddon respects your time and delivers value throughout. Went in expecting decent, came out genuinely impressed.
There are books you finish and forget. Then there are books like Dead Men's Shoes that you keep going back to mentally. This is the second kind. Brilliant.
My partner overheard me listening and ended up sitting down with me for the rest of it. We're both still talking about it. That's not nothing.
I specifically look for audiobooks with a natural narration style — nothing worse than robotic delivery. This nails it. Very easy to listen to for long stretches.
