Der unmögliche Mord: DER ALUMINIUMDOLCH – R. Austin Freeman | Hörbuch

A murder with no perpetrator in the room? A mystery that defies logic. Join Dr. John Thorndyke as he solves a case that made literary history as one of the first "scientific detectives." Experience Richard Austin Freeman's "The Aluminum Dagger," read with precision and atmosphere by Benjamin Werner. What is "The Aluminum Dagger" about? London, early 20th century: Alfred Hartridge is found stabbed to death in his study. The door is locked from the inside, and the second-floor windows are inaccessible. There is no escape route and no sign of an intruder. The police are baffled: Was it suicide? Or revenge by an Italian secret society, as suggested by the mysterious threatening letters and the word "Traditore" (traitor) inscribed on the dagger? When suspicion falls on a young woman, Dr. Thorndyke takes on the case. With the trained eye of a physician and the arsenal of a scientist, he scrutinizes evidence that others overlook: the strange curvature of a wound, the precise dimensions of an aluminum alloy, and the tiny punctures in a sheet of letter paper. Thorndyke proves that physics doesn't lie—and reveals a murder method as ingenious as it is terrifying. A must-listen for fans of Sherlock Holmes who love classic detective work and razor-sharp deductions. A production of The Reader, read by Benjamin Werner. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:20 The Aluminum Dagger ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to my channel for more audiobooks.
