No paywall, no account, no password.https://nocturnaltalespodcast.comA Bavarian mountainside in a snowstorm, and a castle on a black spur of rock with too many roofs and one red window burning beneath the highest of them.Arthur and the Belgian Detective have been summoned by an old acquaintance, the Baroness Adelheid von Eberwald, whose letter was admirably brief. Somebody in her house wishes to frighten her. Unfortunately for them, she is too old to be frightened and too rich to be easily killed.She is also, as it turns out, being poisoned.Then the snow closes the mountain road, the telephone line goes down, and a man falls to his death on the great staircase.And there is a second staircase death to account for, twenty-eight years earlier, which this family has spent a very long time not discussing.The Ghost of Schloss Eberwald is an original Golden Age-style mystery about inheritance, debt, and how convenient a haunted house can be to somebody with entirely practical intentions.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original mystery written by Nocturnal Tales, inspired by the spirit of the great Golden Age crime writers. The plot, characters and text are entirely our own creation. All characters, families and events are fictional, including Schloss Eberwald and the von Eberwald family; any resemblance to real persons or places is coincidental. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTSThe clue that settles it is not evidence at all. When the ghost laughs, one person looks at the wall because she knows where the sound comes from — and one person looks at her.
