The Case of the Unwitting Detective

When the Belgian Detective departs for Brussels, his loyal companion expects a quiet weekend but is instead drawn to Chudleigh Manor, where missing jewels, mounting debts, and suspicion over the heir turn a country-house visit into a test of nerve, luck, and amateur deduction; with Inspector Graves watching closely and no master detective at hand, the case unfolds through comic missteps, false leads, and one brave attempt after another until an apparent muddle reveals a sharper pattern beneath; The Case of the Unwitting Detective is an original Golden Age–style mystery about appearances, loyalty, and the surprising value of persistence when brilliance is out of town.
