Ethel Lina White Bundle: The Spiral Staircase & The Lady Vanishes

Description Celebrate the enduring legacy of Ethel Lina White, one of the most influential voices in crime fiction, with two chilling audiobooks—both brilliantly read by Kim Hartman. A perfect opportunity to rediscover two novels that didn’t just thrill readers—but helped shape crime fiction, cinema, and television as we know them. The Spiral Staircase Four girls have been murdered. As darkness falls, the young maid Helen Capel feels distinctly uneasy, as though she is being watched, as she walks through the woods alone. News of yet another murder reaches the ears of the inhabitants, but this time close to their isolated family home on the Welsh border. Under the instruction of the Professor Warren, nobody may leave or enter the house that night. Just as the Professor finishes his announcement someone starts to knock loudly at the front door… But is there really safety in numbers? And what happens when their numbers start to dwindle..? The Lady Vanishes Iris Carr is tired and exhausted. Travelling by train from Switzerland to England she is surrounded by alien languages and situations which she finds difficult to comprehend. She is relieved, therefore, when talkative old English governess Miss Froy becomes her impromptu travelling companion. But when Iris wakes from a short sleep, Miss Froy has vanished – and none of the passengers will acknowledge her existence. Is Iris mad? Or is there some more sinister reason for the woman’s vanishing?
