Episode Details

The Belgian Detective is in Brussels, the flat is quiet, and Captain Hastings has just made the mistake of thinking life is ordinary — Anne Foster arrives at Whitehaven Mansions with a message and Pip, a small golden-chestnut spaniel with the moral authority of a Roman emperor; downstairs a charming man with a red leather dispatch case is raising money for a widows' charity that may not exist, a committee meets in the residents' lounge, a bell rings at the wrong moment, a green silk scarf is left on a chair, and by the time the lift doors open again someone is dead in the telephone room with the receiver still in his hand; as Hastings, Anne, and Pip untangle a murder built on blackmail, timing, a single mother-of-pearl bead on the floor, and the discovery that the cleverest killer does not seek an alibi but seeks confusion, Pip and the Bell at Whitehaven is an original Golden Age–style mystery about trust, courage, and a spaniel who uses his nose because it is less easily deceived than the brain.

ℹ️ 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 green silk scarf, a bell that rang at the wrong moment, and a single mother-of-pearl bead on the telephone room floor. Pip growled at Rycroft the moment he walked in — would you have listened? 🕵️
