About this listen
1925, Germany:
As a mute, burly German peasant is helping British soldiers move a fallen tree, he's struck on the head. When he regains consciousness he calls out to the astonished Major Manning, using his nickname "Monkey"—in perfect English.
Ten years earlier in the days of the Great War, cousins Jim and Jack Laydon were both lost during an air mission. Now one of them has miraculously returned having recovered from a decade of amnesia and with most old memories intact, although his years as a laborer have changed his build and appearance. Greedy relatives who stand to inherit the Laydon fortune work hard to discredit his story. But is he the husband of the lovely Evelyn Laydon...or his cousin who she also once loved? Laydon claims he doesn't know and it's up to Evelyn to find the truth.
Public Domain (P)2022 Anne HancockI've listened to almost all of the Miss Silver novels, some twice, and can recommend all those very highly to anyone who is a Miss Marple devotee. The period details and general way of life being lived by the characters is a wonderful escape from the realities of today!
