The Yellow Holly by Fergus Hume audiobook.

Genre: mystery

In fogbound Bloomsbury, Madame Jersey runs a shabby-genteel boarding house in Amelia Square, a refuge for the respectable and the ruined alike. Her weekly Friday 'At Home' gathers a gallery of odd lodgers and faded acquaintances, until a newcomer arrives: Leonard Train, a self-styled novelist hunting 'Old-World types' for his next book. When Train's friend George Brendon drops in, he wears a rare sprig of yellow holly in his coat, and the landlady's sudden, terrified reaction hints at a past no one in the house truly knows. Hours later, Mrs. Jersey is found murdered, and the quiet square becomes a hive of suspicion, gossip, and concealed motives. As officials begin to pry, Train cannot resist investigating on his own, especially when the yellow holly resurfaces as a clue linking the crime to secrets beyond the boarding house walls. Brendon, already troubled by doubts about his identity and his hopes of marrying Dorothy Ward, finds himself pulled deeper into a web of inheritance claims, missing facts, and a powerful woman who seems determined to manage the story. Victorian manners may rule the drawing room, but in the shadows, someone is fighting to keep the past buried.
