The Mystery of Angelina Frood, by R. Austin Freeman, presented by Dark Stories.

A Dr. Thorndyke Mystery

Dr. Strangeways meets the only woman he has ever really cared for, the hermit-like yet mysterious Angelina Frood, a striking young actress stalked by many demons.

Tragedy strikes and the good doctor will do anything to solve the mystery. Following a chance encounter, he begins a correspondence with the famous Dr. Thorndyke, hoping that the medico-legal hybrid, a metaphorical centaur or merman, with a doctor's head and a lawyer's tail, can solve the case.

Dr. Thorndyke takes the bizarre case applying all his Medical Jurisprudence skills, which represent using every kind of knowledge to solve an infinite variety of legal problems in an attempt to crack the case.

This novel deals with modern themes: domestic violence, gender inequalities, drug addiction, and advanced forensic science methods as practiced by Dr. Thorndyke.
