About this audiobook
Mr. Gammon, a cheerful and energetic commercial traveler, becomes entangled in a mysterious hunt for a missing husband in this buoyant London mystery. Unlike Gissing's typically tragic figures, the characters here navigate their challenges with resilience and humor. It is an entertaining, lighter glimpse into the bustle of working-class life.
