The Stag's Head Has Lost His Crown | An Original Golden Age Mystery Audiobook

Dublin, between the wars: a former Army captain has come to Ireland to meet the family of Anne Foster, the woman he admires — and quickly decides that being introduced to a houseful of O'Riordans is more perilous than any battlefield. Over one civilised pint at a public house called The Stag's Head, a family quarrel turns into a genuine puzzle when Uncle Seamus produces a codicil to old Patrick Aloysius's will: a late addition that would rewrite an inheritance, signed by witnesses who may or may not have existed. With Anne's relations circling, a forger's clever work to expose, and a small glove-stealing spaniel named Pip underfoot, our narrator must prove that a name copied from a directory is not the same as a signature. The Stag's Head Has Lost His Crown is an original Golden Age-style mystery — a witty comedy of family, forgery, and the small mistakes that betray a liar. ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS This is an original Golden Age-style mystery presented as a respectful homage to classic detective fiction, narrated in the classic Golden Age tradition. All characters and events in this story are fictional. No affiliation, endorsement, or official connection is implied. 💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS Pip the spaniel causes chaos, Uncle Seamus reads out a codicil that would change everything, and a forger nearly gets away with names borrowed from a family's own history. What gave the forgery away for you — the impossible witnesses, the borrowed names, or the one thing a directory can never supply? 🕵️ ❤️ SUPPORT & LISTENING OPTIONS If you'd like to help keep Nocturnal Tales alive: 📌 Patreon (ad-free episodes, early access, bonus content - tiers from $2.99/month)   / nocturnaltales   ❤️ Buy Me a Coffee (one-time support) https://buymeacoffee.com/nocturnaltales 💛 PayPal (one-time tip) https://paypal.me/nocturnaltalesprod 🎧 Spotify (follow the show) https://open.spotify.com/show/0OQ7OEs... 📚 Children's Book (Amazon) — Sherlock Paws and the Diamond of the Nile https://amzn.to/3MRzLNq 🧾 CREDITS Written by Nocturnal Tales.
