Unravelled Knots by Baroness Emmuska Orczy Orczy
"Unravelled Knots by Baroness Emmuska Orczy Orczy" is a collection of short stories published in 1923-1925. This final installment features the Old Man in the Corner, an armchair detective who solves mysteries purely for entertainment. When a woman returns to a London tea-house after twenty years, she finds him unchanged, still fidgeting with string while unraveling baffling crimes. Through thirteen first-person narratives, she listens to his brilliant deductions, impressed despite her skepticism
and pride in her own investigative skills. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
