Wyllard's Weird

By: Mary Elizabeth Braddon

Narrated by: Lynne Thompson

A novel written in three volumes.

In the golden age of steam, the London train wends its way across the Tamar into the strange and mystic land that is Cornwall, having left most of its length at Plymouth. A weary doctor is gazing at the countryside when the train grinds to a halt and his professional attention is demanded. A young woman. An apparent suicide. Who was she? What brought her to Cornwall? What drove her to kill herself? Or did she?

good story bad performance

Worst. Narrator. Ever.
Poorly edited - places where narrator stumbles should have been edited out.

really worthwhile

Despite the inferior sound at. Times, I personally really enjoyed this Victorian novel.
The memorable characters really opened a new world for me.
Give it some time. I would rank it with Wilie Collins’ The Woman in White.
