LibriVox recording of The Dead Alive, by Wilkie Collins.
Ill feelings exist between the Meadowcroft sons and John Jago, the foreman of the Meadowcroft estate. Then, John Jago disappears, and a body is found in a kiln. The Meadowcroft brothers stand accused of the crime, but are they guilty? The Dead Alive is a novel written by Wilkie Collins based on the true-life Boorn Brothers murder conviction case of 1819. Jesse and Stephen Boorn were sentenced to death for the murder of their brother-in-law, but were they wrongly convicted? (Summary by M Z Spark, Phil, and Barry)

This is a neat story. The only grouch I had was some of the chapters are hard to listen to due to tinny recording sounds, but otherwise, it is very interesting.
The background of the story this tale is based on is also very interesting, so I highly recommend taking a moment and reading it.
