The Diamond Pin

Austere country life meets playful mischief in a house ruled by the mercurial Aunt Ursula Pell. She delights in harmless tricks—dropping a penny when a dollar is meant—while her spirited niece Iris Clyde dreams of the stage and resents the matriarch’s stubborn propriety. Their clash of temperaments sets a lively backdrop, and the household’s odd members, from a prank‑prone nephew to a nervous maid, hint at hidden tensions beneath the genteel façade.

When a priceless diamond pin disappears from Aunt Ursula’s collection, the family’s lighthearted banter turns into genuine alarm. The mystery draws in the famed detective Fleming Stone, whose keen mind begins to untangle the web of false motives and secret passages that surround the locked‑room puzzle. As clues surface and suspicions flare, listeners are invited into a clever, early‑20th‑century whodunit where wit, family intrigue, and a dash of romance collide.
