The House at Greylake | The Belgian Detective Mystery Audiobook
Description
Norfolk, early autumn: a poised daughter arrives at Whitehaven Mansions to say her formidable father has been murdered in the Chinese Room at Greylake—stabbed with an Eastern dagger in a scene too calm, too orderly, and too perfectly timed—while the Belgian Detective and his loyal companion enter a house where inheritance, obedience, and long habit make every conversation feel staged; a missing hand-delivered note, a veiled figure by the lake, secret payments, and a convenient flight point suspicion outward, yet the little grey cells keep circling back to the same unsettling truth: the most dangerous person is the one who knows exactly where investigators prefer to look; inspired by historical crime of its era while remaining entirely fictional, Poirot and the House at Greylake is an original Golden Age–style mystery about control, respectability, and the elegance of a carefully arranged lie.
