About this listen

The Shadow of the Wolf

By R. Austin Freeman

Narrated by Graham Scott

A man apparently sends an incriminating letter to his solicitor, by the simple mistake of placing it into the wrong envelope, and then he abruptly disappears—this, immediately following a sailing trip from Sennen Cove to Penzance with an old friend, the last person known to have seen the missing man alive. But when Dr. John Thorndyke agrees to investigate the disappearance on behalf of the man's wife, he soon begins to question the circumstances and to suspect a more sinister outcome...

A long and intricate story very well written, which shows individuals, either good or bad have many layers, Austin Freeman stories don’t have to be gory to be scary.

Not his best but still gripping.

The more I listen to the Spoken Realms recordings of the classic Dr Thorndyke novels the more I enjoy them. As in all of these novels the forensic expertise of Dr Thorndyke provides the main interest, but in this novel we know from the outset who perpetrated the crime and why and the essence of the story is how the perpetrator pits his wits against the rigorous forensic investigative skills of Dr Thorndyke. It has taken me a while to get used to the narrator's voice, but now I fully associate it with the precise clipped expression of Dr Thorndyke and I enjoy these readings enormously.

A great classic crime story
