About this listen

When a young woman's body is discovered in the summer of 1910 in Vienna, the inspector's wife is certain the figs found in her stomach during the autopsy are the clue to the identity of the murderer - for there are no fresh figs in Vienna at this time of year.

Has nothing to do with figs!

This story was for a book club and I really thought it was horrible. It’s not my genre at all so maybe it’s not fair. If you want to read about gruesome details of murder and death, this is for you
