The Old Man in the Corner
Baroness Orczy
The Old Man in the Corner is a selection of absorbing whodunit stories, featuring an irascible detective who sees clearly what is obscure to others. One of the original armchair detectives, the Old Man does no investigating of his own. He has no love of the police and maintains a healthy dose of sympathy for the criminals. Nevertheless, his analytical abilities are unsurpassed. The stories are told in flashback, as the Old Man relates his findings to a sarcastic young journalist while sitting in the corner of a teashop, tying knots in a piece of string. Best known as the creator of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy has an engaging style and love of the sensational which make The Old Man in the Corner an addictive pleasure.
