A Castle in Brittany & The Bag of Sand 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 double bill tonight: two complete cases for Lady Molly, the brilliant head of the Female Department of Scotland Yard.🏰 A CASTLE IN BRITTANYLady Molly and her companion Mary have gone abroad on a well-earned holiday — to Porhoët, an enchanting village hidden in a Breton valley, with a convent, a quaint church and a kindly Curé. This, Mary insists, is emphatically not a professional case. But a holiday is no protection against a scoundrel: there is a promise given, a secret Mary is not to be told, and in an old castle on the Breton coast Mary is about to live through the most exciting ten minutes of her life.🧳 THE BAG OF SANDBack in London, Lady Molly takes an entirely different route to the truth — she becomes someone else. A disguise, a performance and a patient trap, because the surest way to catch a man who will never confess is to give him a reason to give himself away.What both cases share is the thing that makes Lady Molly worth returning to: she does not out-muscle her opponents or out-run them. She reads them. Presented complete and unabridged, exactly as Baroness Orczy wrote them, from the Midnight Archive, Nocturnal Tales' library of the classic detective stories that built the genre.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThese are complete, unabridged readings of A Castle in Brittany and The Bag of Sand by Baroness Orczy, collected in Lady Molly of Scotland Yard (1910) and now in the public domain.
