The Mirror of Jealousy | The Belgian Detective Mystery Audiobook (The Archive)
from Nocturnal Tales: Mystery Audiobooks and Crime Stories · host Nicolas and Dora – Nocturnal Tales
London, 1938: a society wife falls ill after tasting an elegant gift—chocolates tied in green silk, delivered with flawless manners and a lingering whisper of gardenia—while the Belgian Detective and his loyal companion trace a crime designed to look like coincidence and taste like privilege; from famous confectioners’ counters to Park Lane drawing rooms, the case tightens through ribbons, receipts, telephone voices, and mirror-bright alibis where every bow hides a hand and every reflected face belongs to someone practicing a lie; inspired by historical crime of its era while remaining entirely fictional, The Mirror of Jealousy is an original Golden Age–style mystery about envy, performance, and the lethal power of a “respectable” gift.ℹ️ FOR LISTENERSThis is an original Golden Age–style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction.
