About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
The Case of Miss Elliott and Other Stories (1909) is a collection of twelve detective tales by Baroness Orczy, framed around the Old Man in the Corner — the strange, shrivelled creature who sits in the corner of an A.B.C. tea-shop and unravels, for the benefit of a lady journalist, the most baffling mysteries of the day. Twelve cases follow, each opened by the lady's eager questions and resolved by the old man's remorseless logic: the fate of poor Miss Elliott, the poisoning of the racehorse Cigarette, the tragedy in Dartmoor Terrace, the theft of the Black Diamonds, the murder of Miss Pebmarsh, the Lisson Grove mystery, the Tremarn case, the loss of the steamship Artemis, the disappearance of Count Collini, the Ayrsham murder, the affair at the Novelty Theatre, and the tragedy at Barnsdale Manor. While the police stumble over motives and alibis, the man in the corner picks each case apart with a length of string and a cynical smile — proving, time and again, that the obvious is never what it seems.
