About this listen
A mystery book set in Brighton during the early 20th century.
Set against the atmospheric backdrop of early 20th-century Brighton, "Mystery in Brighton" delves into the tumultuous life of Mark Kramer, a successful novelist who finds himself teetering on the brink of financial ruin. The story unfolds in a time when creditor pressures and societal expectations clash, setting a suspenseful and mysterious stage in the artistic and serene coastal town. The crux of the drama involves themes of deception, moral dilemmas, and the complexities of human relationships, making it a riveting tale within the mystery genre.
Mark Kramer’s downfall begins with an ominous glance in the mirror, seeing "murder in his eyes" because of his financial desperation. Despite his literary success, he faces imminent ruin due to debts and a judgment against him—as a guarantor for his fleeing brother—requiring £1,000 he doesn't have. One night, a mysterious call offers him this exact amount in exchange for a clandestine errand involving a woman in Brighton.
Kramer follows the instructions, filled with a mix of hope and trepidation. His adventure leads him to obtain the needed funds, and during this escapade, he encounters complexities involving misinformation and deceit. The woman he meets is caught in a dire situation, mirroring Kramer's fictional heroine. She needs to retrieve a document to protect herself and others, which Kramer initially creates an elaborate plan for.
Returning home, Kramer finds his conservatory in disarray and a severely injured man, revealing a real-life murder mystery intertwined with his financial salvation. Inspector Norby becomes involved, questioning Kramer and linking his involvement to further deceit and danger posed by Reginald Henson—a character with a dark past including theft, forgery, and manipulation. Henson’s crimes and desperate efforts to maintain his deceit spiral towards a confrontation involving various characters, including the Dutch forger Van Sneck.
Van Sneck, under Kramer’s roof, details the gravity of Henson’s schemes, primarily revolving around Prince Rupert’s ring, a stolen artifact forged and sought after for its immense value. Henson's complex criminal network, driven by greed and layered with historical art forgeries, brings together various characters from different walks of life, all ensnared in his web of deceit.
Dr. Bell, who performs an operation on Van Sneck, aids in piecing together the crux of the riddle—a game fraught with legal and moral conundrums. The resolution unscovers pivotal connections to societal expectations, professional reputations, and familial reconciliations, especially involving Lord Littimer and his estranged wife, Lady Littimer, who have suffered greatly due to Henson’s deceptions.
The climax converges with Henson's ultimate demise, cornered and pursued by Merritt, another victim of Henson's treachery wanting revenge. As Henson succumbs to the consequences of his actions while attempting to flee, the story ties up the loose ends with themes of justice served, the redemption of reputations, and heartfelt reconciliations, especially between Ruth Ballmer and Mark Kramer, whose futures seem assured following the unraveling of the mystery.
Thus, "Mystery in Brighton" is not just a tale of suspense and financial peril but an intricate tapestry of human ethics, societal bonds, and the relentless pursuit of truth amidst cascades of deception.

Story
This book examines the popular notion of Christians escaping from this world for heaven at death or at the rapture to reign permanently with Jesus—this is not what the Scripture teaches. Songs like, “this world is not my home, I am just passing through” have placed some Christians on the wrong side of the true biblical message, causing them to avoid their stewardship responsibility to care for the earth.
