📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus content (tiers from $2.99/month)https://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTalesDublin, and the young Arthur & Anne detective agency takes its second client: Mrs Vale, a handsome, iron-composed widow whose impractical nephew Julian has just announced his engagement to a Hungarian countess. Countess Ilona Várady is staying at the Shelbourne — though not, it seems, as an ordinary guest, but as a companion and interpreter. The aunt suspects a common fortune-hunter.What Arthur, Anne and Pip uncover is stranger and far cleverer: a three-afternoon exhibition of portrait miniatures on Merrion Square, a dealer with a smooth manner, and a crate booked for the evening mailboat from Dún Laoghaire. It is the countess herself who leans close to a glass case and quietly announces that the exquisite little portrait within is not the one that stood there before. A chip in the glass that has somehow healed. A landscape hung to distract the eye. And a crisp new pound note that could not possibly have changed hands on the day everyone swears it did.The Countess in the Frame is the seventh volume of the Arthur, Anne and Pip mysteries — an original Golden Age-style story of art forgery, sharp eyes, and a partnership settling at last behind its second desk.The seven Captain Hastings, Anne and Pip stories, in chronological order:The Case of the Unwitting DetectiveThe Bridegroom Who Mislaid HimselfThe Corpse at the Costume BallPip and the Bell at WhitehavenThe Stag’s Head Has Lost His CrownThe Favourite Who Refused to RunThe Countess in the Frameℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied.💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTSA forged miniature nearly sailed for the Continent, and it was a borrowed countess with a sharp eye — not the detective — who saw the swap first. When the cleverest person in the room is the one everyone underestimated, how often does the real solution walk in as somebody's fiancée? 🕵️📖 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❤️ Buy Me a Coffee — EPUB + PDF includedhttps://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales/e/532495❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS📌 Patreon — ad-free, early access, bonus contenthttps://www.patreon.com/NocturnalTales📺 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🎧 Spotify — follow the showhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0OQ7OEseXIMbMt2NTI7oHy🎧 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nocturnal-tales-mystery-audiobooks-and-crime-stories/id1896195848🧾 CREDITSWritten by Nocturnal Tales.
