About this listen

Silent Fortune, a mystery thriller book set in the fictitious English town of Barford during the early 20th century, invites readers into a fascinating narrative full of secrets, deception, and moral dilemmas.

The story kicks off with the discovery of a seemingly forgotten will by an antiquarian bookseller, unfolding a plot of greed and desire. This tale of intricate legal and personal intricacies revolves around Linford Christopher, a senior clerk steeped in ambition and willing to cross moral boundaries to accumulate wealth. When sudden death leaves Christopher with the will, he sees a golden opportunity. However, as until-then hidden connections between the individuals involved start to surface, his plans slowly begin to fall apart.

Silent Fortune follows Christopher's underestimation of Esther Mawson, a housemaid who cunningly manages to steal the secret documents, setting off an unstoppable chain of events. Every character, from Christopher to the Nordagren family, brings an additional layer of unexpected twists and reveals. At the climax of the story, the Nordagren estate becomes the battleground for an intense confrontation that uncovers shocking truths, ultimately leading to Christopher's demise and the unearthing of his deceit.

Murder, Intrigue, and Redemption

Through the storm of murder, betrayal, and intrigue that accompanies the fight over the will, the story concludes with an overarching theme of hope and renewal. After the resolution of the Nordagren estate's true fate and consequential life-altering revelations for the family, the narrative ends on a brighter note with Nesta, the youngest Nordagren, embracing a simpler existence. Marrying Barrister James Dykstra signifies her departure from her notorious past.

Silent Fortune masterfully explores the themes of lethal greed, the significance of artisanship, and the moral corrosion born from the pursuit of wealth. Striking a harmony between character-driven exploits and an accurate early 20th-century English setting, this book illustrates how long-concealed secrets can dictate the course of lives. A true feast for lovers of thriller, mystery and historical fiction, Silent Fortune is a thrilling journey into the heart of humanity's darkest desires and the destructive powers of unchecked ambitions.
