"The Old Man in the Corner is an unnamed armchair detective who appears in a series of short stories written by Baroness Orczy. He examines and solves crimes while sitting in the corner of a genteel London tea-room in conversation with a female journalist. He was one of the first of this character-type created in the wake of the huge popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The character's moniker is used as the title of the collection of the earliest stories featuring the character."
In radio play form, it's called "The Teahouse Detective" and this episode - The York Mystery, about a murdered bookmaker. enjoy:
I went looking more for thrillers and found one, with Gregory Peck but of course, it can't be shown. Audiobooks abound, wherein someone reads the book to you but I was never much into those. radio plays are quite fun though and so it does look as if it might be these for awhile.
