When Noel Stanton receives news of his friend Harvey Farnham's disappearance near a mysterious riverside estate, he becomes entangled in a web of secrets that spans far beyond a simple missing person case. Alice Muriel Williamson's The House by the Lock is a captivating mystery that draws listeners into the shadowy world of the grand house owned by the enigmatic and influential Carson Wildred.
As Stanton investigates, he discovers that his friend has mysteriously reappeared safe in America—yet the puzzle only deepens. The house itself becomes the true subject of his obsession: its peculiar architecture, hidden passageways, and unexplained phenomena defy rational explanation. Strange smoke rises from sealed chambers, and despite thorough police investigations and testimonies from servants and Wildred himself, something sinister remains unexplained.
Blending mystery, adventure, and eerie supernatural elements, this 1906 gothic tale weaves together atmospheric tension with clever plotting. Stanton must navigate a labyrinth of clues where nothing is quite as it seems and every answer raises new questions. Perfect for audiobook listeners who appreciate classic mystery fiction with psychological depth and atmospheric intrigue, The House by the Lock offers the perfect escape into a world of hidden dangers and unsolved enigmas.
