April 05, 2023 The Tea House Detective " The York Mystery "
London in the 1920s. Sitting in the corner of a branch of the (long defunct) ABC Tea Rooms sits a shabbily dressed old man, who looks more like a tramp. He sits nursing a single cup of tea and possibly a doughnut. At the start of each episode it seems, he is saved only by the arrival of the journalist, Polly.
What none of the customers know is that the “man in the corner – we never learn his name – is one of England’s finest detectives. Polly brings him details of cases that are baffling the police and he questions and probes her, encouraging her to sift through what she knows. Between them, they solve the cases without moving from the corner of the tea room.

April 02, 2023 A Murder Of Quality -John le Carre.
Long retired since the war, Ailsa Brimley is now the editor of a small Christian magazine called Christian Voice. The magazine's membership is small but loyal, and many of its readers have been supporters of the magazine since its inception. Unexpectedly, Brimley receives a letter from a reader, Stella Rode, who claims that her husband, a public school junior master in the town of Carne, is plotting to kill her. Fearing for Stella's life, Brimley hunts down her former wartime colleague, the retired Circus spy George Smiley, and asks him to help. Smiley, who knows the brother of school teacher Terence Fielding, agrees to do what he can, but before he is able to intervene, learns that Rode has been murdered. Brimley, feeling a duty of care to Rode on account of her family's long history as magazine subscribers, asks Smiley to go down and see what he can do to help. Smiley agrees and goes down to Carne to find out what he can about Rode's situation.
