MP3 Audio CD. Everybody knows Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, but what not everybody knows is that Doyle was fascinated not only with crime mysteries, but alos with ghosts and spirits ? towards the end of his life he became convinced that his wife was able to communicate with supernatural powers. The Mystery of Cloomber is a novel about the supernatural and divine justice ? though it is among Doyle?s earliest books, it is also an ingeniously written great story, just like so many other Conan Doyle novels, but unlike most of them, the conclusions he comes to in this story are not all very rational.The story revolves around two families ? the Wests who move from Edinburgh to a mansion on a peninsula in Scotland and the Heatherstones who move into the previously abandoned mansion close to the house owned by the Wests.
