About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Silent House, by Fergus Hume (1859-1932). 1907 edition. A mystery about a "locked door" murder committed in a house that has a reputation for being haunted. In the first half of the book, the murderer appears to be easy to figure out. The second half of the book, however, is filled with plot twists and mistaken identities and thus complicates the mystery much more. (Summary by cherly)
