A Coin of Edward VII A Detective Story

A Coin of Edward VII by Fergus Hume opens with a tantalizing hook: a single coin becomes the catalyst for a twisting detective story that exposes greed, secrets, and the sharp edges of Edwardian society. When a rare coin tied to power and pedigree turns up, rival investigators, shady opportunists and anxious heirs collide in a race to unmask motives and recover what’s been lost—without revealing the book’s clever surprises. Hume’s classic mystery blends meticulous plotting with period atmosphere, capturing the manners and tensions of the turn-of-the-century British world. The narrative explores themes of social ambition, deception, and justice as clues accumulate and characters’ true faces emerge. Hume’s spare prose and knack for red herrings keep the pace brisk, while historical detail grounds the intrigue in an evocative Edwardian setting. Ideal for listeners who love classic literature and detective fiction, this audiobook will appeal to fans of vintage mysteries, atmospheric historical thrillers, and tightly woven whodunits. Engagingly plotted and rich in period flavor, A Coin of Edward VII is a rewarding listen for anyone who enjoys clever deductions and old-fashioned suspense.
