The Mynns' Mystery

A young governess named Gertie finds herself trapped in the oppressive manor of the Harrington family, where the charismatic yet cruel Saul Harrington treats her as a prize rather than a person. His unsettling advances and the looming presence of an ailing patriarch set a tone of tension that permeates every hallway. The house itself feels alive, its portraits watching, its corridors echoing with the ticking of an ancient clock.

As Gertie seeks escape, she encounters a household filled with secretive servants, a fierce black Gordon setter, and whispers of debts and inheritance that bind the family together. The power dynamics are stark: Saul’s ambition clashes with Gertie's desperate need for freedom, while the older generation’s mysteries hint at deeper, hidden motives. Listeners are drawn into a world where every glance may conceal a clue and every whispered promise carries danger.

The story unfolds as a classic Victorian mystery, balancing gothic atmosphere with the struggle of a determined young woman against a predatory suitor. It invites you to follow Gertie's quest for agency, uncovering the dark secrets that lie behind the manor’s polished façade.
