Florence Marryat 4 hr 58 min read

The mysterious Signor Ricardo, an Italian tutor whom his landlady calls simply 'a Mystery,' stands at the center of an uncanny tale of transformation and hidden identity.

Florence Marryat's 1896 novel is an atmospheric occult and psi-powers tale. Eerie, intriguing, of its era. Read it for a strange late-Victorian supernatural mystery from a popular spiritualist author, where a humble woman's uncanny transfiguration and a shadowy foreigner's secret drive a tale steeped in the séance-room preoccupations of its age.
