from Nocturnal Tales: Mystery Audiobooks and Crime Stories · host Nicolas and Dora – Nocturnal Tales
In Mayfair, a duke’s reputation teeters when indecent photographs surface and an heirloom snuffbox disappears, drawing the Belgian Detective and his loyal companion into a polished maze of solicitors, theatrical aristocracy, and carefully staged respectability where ribbons, rings, and “headless” photographs suggest a blackmail plot too elegant to be accidental; as a lethal “cherub” contrivance turns scandal into real danger and whispered gossip becomes a weapon, Poirot must separate what the camera shows from what it hides and expose who is trading vanity for power behind the drawing-room curtain; The Duchess, the Snuffbox & the Cherub is an original Golden Age–style mystery about deception, social leverage, and the ruthless art of making ruin look like coincidence.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original Golden Age–style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction.
