The Opal Serpent

Really enjoyed my first read by Fergus Hume, a classic murder mystery with lots of twists and turns throughout. It's set in the early 1900s and has definite lingering Victorian vibes to it, and even a streak or two of Gothic flavor to it with the secrets and jewels and a dash of bigamy. I really enjoyed how twisty the clues kept things and the Librivox recording was well done.
