The Beetle (Unabridged)
Richard Marsh
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
In "The Beetle," a down-on-his-luck clerk, Robert Holt, stumbles upon a sinister figure, the "Beetle," a shape-shifting ancient Egyptian entity seeking revenge. This creature stalks and terrorizes British politician Paul Lessingham for a past transgression in Egypt. The story unfolds through various characters' perspectives: Holt, a reporter, the politician's niece, and a friend. They navigate a thrilling mix of supernatural elements, including hypnosis, alongside suspenseful mystery and even dashes of humor, as they try to unravel the Beetle's identity and stop its vengeance.
