The Blue Sequin | R. Austin Freeman | Audiobook | by Jason Fraser | Detective Tales

A first-class compartment rolls into a quiet Kent station—and a fashionably dressed passenger will not rise. On the hat brim: dark-blue sequins, some missing; on the cheek: a cruel linear bruise; in the skull: a clean, round wound. A burning rick throws sparks across the line, a cattle truck idles on the siding, and the guard seals the coach as whispers start. Dr. Thorndyke arrives with a traveller’s case and a pocket powder blower, reading margins, footboards, and windblown grit like a ledger. A locket with a youthful portrait, a formidable umbrella spike, and a single blue sequin found where no one looked become the fixed points. Calm logic, measured tests—truth assembled one grain at a time.
