No paywall, no account, no password.https://nocturnaltalespodcast.comSaint Patrick's Day, Dublin, 1929. Captain Arthur has agreed to perform one simple act of kindness: to walk Lady Eleanor's spaniel down to the dog show at the RDS with a green ribbon on his collar. Pip objects — not to patriotism, but to ornament.Before luncheon, the simple act of kindness has cost rather more than expected. A professional reputation compromised. A titled lady offended. And a breeder up from Berkshire calmly explaining that Pip is not Pip at all: he is a stolen champion named Blenheim Caesar, and she has the papers to prove it.She does have papers. That is the difficulty. A registration certificate. A veterinary description of his markings. A photograph dated 1926. And every single one of them is very slightly wrong: a certificate describing marks that were only learned last Tuesday, and a year written on a photograph mount that the photograph cannot possibly belong to.To keep a dog who has never been anywhere near Berkshire, Arthur and Anne must prove that a perfectly documented claim is a perfectly documented lie.The Pedigree of Pip is an original Golden Age-style mystery about paperwork, possession, and the question of who a creature really belongs to.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original mystery written by Nocturnal Tales, inspired by the spirit of the great Golden Age crime writers — but the plot, characters and text are entirely our own creation.

No paywall, no account, no password.https://nocturnaltalespodcast.comTonight, the story that answers a question we left hanging.When we opened the Raffles stories with "The Ides of March," he mentioned, almost in passing, an unreported incident on a certain cricket tour — and then refused to say another word about it. Bunny tried for years. Raffles would only shake his head and watch his cigarette smoke, with that look half cynical and half wistful, as though the honest days that were no more had had their merits after all.Tonight he finally tells it."Le Premier Pas" — the first step. This is the story of the very first crime A. J. Raffles ever committed: a young cricketer far from home, touring Australia, riding out through gum trees and dust to a bank in a small country town. Where he is mistaken for somebody he is not.It is one small misunderstanding, and it hands him an opportunity no honest man would have taken. Of all his stories, this is the only one that carries the ghost of a dead remorse.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is a complete, unabridged reading of Le Premier Pas by E. W.

No paywall, no account, no password.https://nocturnaltalespodcast.comA double bill for the blind detective — two more cases from Ernest Bramah.🕯️ THE GAME PLAYED IN THE DARKBy some distance the most famous Carrados story ever written. It begins with Inspector Beedel making conversation: nothing happens abroad, he says, without leaving some trace of it in London — if only somebody troubles to look. Faked securities in Mexico. A jade charm pawned for one and threepence down at the Basin. Real First-Class Crime. Before the night is over, Max Carrados will find himself in a house he does not control, outnumbered and entirely at the mercy of people who mean him harm — and there he will discover the one contest in which a blind man has never been at any disadvantage at all.🔍 THE TILLING SHAW MYSTERYA quieter case. It opens in Carrados's own study, the morning's clearing-up still in progress, when a girl of about twenty comes in from Oakshire — nervous, brave and desperate. A man's life depends on a single piece of evidence. The trouble is that everybody has already accepted it without question.Tonight's pairing shows the two halves of what makes Carrados worth returning to: turning his supposed weakness into an overwhelming advantage, and the patient business of refusing to accept a fact simply because everyone else already has.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThese are complete, unabridged readings of The Game Played in the Dark and The Tilling Shaw Mystery by Ernest Bramah, now in the public domain.

    The Poison Between Them | The Belgian Detective Mystery Audiobook

    📌 Patreon — every new case first, ad-free and early ($2.99/month)https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales🌐 Website — every story we've ever made, free to listen. No paywall, no account, no password.https://nocturnaltalespodcast.comThere are marriages which fail because husband and wife stop loving one another. And there are marriages which become infinitely more dangerous because they insist on loving in the wrong way.London, March 1936. On a wet evening outside the Savoy, a young clergyman stops the Belgian Detective in the street. The Reverend Julian Dyson is pale, apologetic and frightened — and the household he describes is one of the strangest he and Arthur have ever been asked to enter.Charles Bartlett is a prosperous man with a considerably younger wife, Adelaide. The third member of the household is Dyson himself, who came as Adelaide's tutor and spiritual adviser and has become a great deal closer. What is extraordinary is the husband's attitude: rather than driving the young minister away, Charles encourages the friendship, permits the intimacy, and has quietly altered his will so that his wife will lose nothing if she marries again after his death.Generosity? Manipulation? Illness? Then Charles begins to sicken. And at a quarter past one one morning, he is violently, fatally ill.The wife had the opportunity. The lover had bought the poison. The poison was found inside the victim. And yet the single question on which a murder conviction depends has no answer at all: how did it get there?ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction, inspired by the real Pimlico Mystery of 1886 — the case of Adelaide Bartlett, her husband Edwin, and the Reverend George Dyson, in which the medical evidence defeated the prosecution entirely. Names, dates, characters and solution here are altered and fictionalised. All characters are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTSIn the real case the jury was told, in effect: we know how, we know who benefited, we simply cannot explain the method. So they acquitted. When a crime is obvious but unprovable, should the law follow the evidence or the instinct? 🕵️📖 GET THE EBOOK — $3.99📌 Patreon — included with Writing Table & Archive Society, or one-time purchasehttps://www.patreon.com/posts/156573383🛒 Gumroad — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://nocturnaltalespod.gumroad.com/l/ebookvol2❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS📌 Patreon — every new case first, ad-free and earlyhttps://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales🌐 Website — every story, free, no account neededhttps://nocturnaltalespodcast.com📺 Rumble — free, supports us with ad revenuehttps://rumble.com/c/c-7820714❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — one-time supporthttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales💛 PayPal — one-time tiphttps://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod🎧 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nocturnal-tales-mystery-audiobooks-and-crime-stories/id1896195848🧾 CREDITSWritten by Nocturnal Tales.

    The Irish-Tweed Coat & The Fordwych Castle Mystery by Baroness Orczy | The Midnight Archive — Two Lady Molly Mysteries

    📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus content (tiers from $2.99/month)https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTalesA second double bill for Lady Molly of Scotland Yard — two of Baroness Orczy's strongest cases.🧥 THE IRISH-TWEED COATIt begins with an Englishman dead in Sicily. Mr. Andrew Carrthwaite, a Yorkshireman who owned marble works outside Palermo and refused to let a single one of his workmen join any society, club or union, is found in his own garden with a stiletto between his shoulder blades — and a scrap of rough Irish tweed, torn from his killer's coat, clutched in his hand. His gold watch is missing, which looks like robbery; the Sicilian police think otherwise. The case will take Lady Molly a very long way from Scotland Yard — further than is entirely safe.🏰 THE FORDWYCH CASTLE MYSTERYWhen the ablest men at the Yard are at their wits' end, the chief instinctively turns to Lady Molly. A death at a great house. An ancient barony that descends through the female line. Two granddaughters, a disputed inheritance, a lawyer, and a household in which almost everyone is a woman with something to protect — and a solution nobody at Scotland Yard will reach by ordinary means.What is striking about tonight's pair is how far Orczy lets her heroine go: arrested abroad in one story, handing a great house its worst secret in the other, and in neither does she need rescuing.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThese are complete, unabridged readings of The Irish-Tweed Coat and The Fordwych Castle Mystery by Baroness Orczy, collected in Lady Molly of Scotland Yard (1910) and now in the public domain.

    The Telegram from Baldonnel | A Captain Arthur & Anne Foster Mystery Audiobook

    📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus content (tiers from $2.99/month)https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTalesDublin, and the agency's newest client arrives carrying a flat leather dispatch case and a reputation he is about to lose. Captain Corrigan was one of the men who prepared the great westward Atlantic flight from Baldonnel aerodrome — a modest figure at the edge of photographs full of more famous men. Now a valuer preparing the case for an American collector has found the lining pulled away beside the clasp, and paper beneath it: a telegram form, folded twice, warning of conditions over the western Atlantic. Addressed to Corrigan. Timed before the aeroplane left. If it is genuine, he let three men fly into weather he knew about and said nothing. A reporter from the Evening Record already has the story and will print on Wednesday. With Anne at the second desk, Pip underfoot, and four days to prove a document false, Captain Arthur follows the case through hangar number three, an Air Corps records office, an auction house and a night of fire at the aerodrome — to a message that was never sent, and a man who worked out precisely what a hero's name is worth. The Telegram from Baldonnel is an original Golden Age-style mystery about courage, reputation, and the difference between being needed and being loved.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction.
