Description:
When Miss Saunders accepts a discreet position as companion to the wife of Mayor Henry Packard, she enters a household shadowed by fear, secrecy, and suspicion. Mrs. Packard is visibly distressed, yet refuses to explain the cause of her terror. Her husband, a powerful political figure and candidate for governor, fears that something hidden is destroying the happiness of his home. Inside the mayor’s old house, Miss Saunders encounters strange servants, watchful neighbors, whispers of haunting, unexplained lights and sounds, and a mystery that seems to reach deeper than ordinary domestic unhappiness. As she investigates, the line between political danger, family secrets, and supernatural dread grows increasingly uncertain. First published in 1907, The Mayor’s Wife is a classic mystery by Anna Katharine Green, one of the pioneering figures of American detective fiction. Combining a haunted-house atmosphere with psychological suspense and detective intrigue, this audiobook is ideal for listeners who enjoy vintage mysteries, Gothic tension, and early American crime fiction. Duration - 7h 37m. Author - Anna Katharine Green. Narrator - Blake Crawford. Published Date - Saturday, 24 January 2026. Copyright - © 1907 Anna Katharine Green ©.
