Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Devil's Foot | Full Audiobook

Welcome to 221B Baker Street! Settle in for the full, unabridged audiobook of "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot," one of the most chilling, gothic, and celebrated mysteries in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's collection, "His Last Bow." Seeking mandatory rest for his overworked nervous system, Sherlock Holmes retreats with Dr. Watson to a lonely cottage overlooking the windswept cliffs of Mount's Bay in Cornwall[cite: 5]. Their peaceful solitude is violently shattered by the local vicar and his lodger, Mortimer Tregennis, who bring news of an incomprehensible domestic horror at the nearby hamlet of Tredannick Wollas[cite: 5]. After an apparently cheerful evening of card-playing, Tregennis's sister Brenda was found stone dead in her chair, while his two brothers sat beside her laughing and shouting in uncontrollable, gibbering madness—all bearing expressions of the ultimate, soul-crushing terror[cite: 5]. When a second identical death strikes inside the vicarage itself, Holmes risks his own sanity in a perilous experiment with a mysterious charred powder to unmask the legendary African ordeal poison known as the "Devil's Foot."[cite: 5] Put on your headphones and immerse yourself in this atmospheric Victorian classic, perfect for deep sleep, bedtime relaxation, or English language study. 📖 Story Synopsis: While resting on the lonely Cornish moors, Sherlock Holmes is called to investigate the horrific "Cornish Horror," where a woman is found scared to death and her two brothers driven permanently insane around a card table[cite: 5]. When the surviving brother, Mortimer Tregennis, is soon found dead under identical circumstances with a lamp burning in broad daylight, Holmes recovers traces of a strange combustion powder[cite: 5]. Risking their lives by testing the hallucinogenic fumes on themselves, Holmes and Watson deduce the use of an exotic African ordeal poison, the "Devil's Foot Root."[cite: 5] Holmes tracks the drug to famed explorer Dr. Leon Sterndale, who reveals a tragic tale of grief and vigilante justice against the real family poisoner[cite: 5]. ⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters: 00:00 A Quiet Retreat to the Cornish Moors 03:15 The Cornish Horror at Tredannick Wollas 07:30 Examining the Death Chamber & The Scorched Hearth 12:00 Dr. Leon Sterndale: The African Lion Hunter 16:15 Tragedy Strikes Again: The Vicarage Horror 21:40 The Perilous Poison-Lamp Experiment 27:10 Hallucinatory Madness & Watson's Rescue 31:45 Unmasking the Devil's Foot Poison 37:30 Dr. Sterndale's Tragic Confession of Revenge 42:15 Holmes's Judgment: Justice Beyond the Law 🎧 Listen to All Stories from "His Last Bow" in Order: 👉    • Sherlock Holmes: His Last Bow | Full Audio...   📚 Book & Audio Details: Title: The Adventure of the Devil's Foot Collection: His Last Bow (1917) Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson, Mr. Roundhay (Vicar), Mortimer Tregennis, Brenda Tregennis, Dr. Leon Sterndale[cite: 5] Setting: Poldhu Bay, Mount's Bay, & Tredannick Wollas, Cornwall, England[cite: 5] Format: Full Unabridged English Audiobook 🎧 About This Channel: We bring timeless public domain classic literature to life through clear, soothing audiobooks.
