Death at the BBC

by John Sherwood

Place – the BBC. Time – late 1930’s. From Moira Redmond at the blog “Clothes in Books” - "There is attempted murder, danger and threats in anonymous letters, and then finally a death: but was the dead person the intended victim? There are complicated alibis, and questions over motive and phonecalls. Half way through the POV changes in a most satisfying way, and we can look at the story differently. This is a very good crime story, with an excellent plot. One of the reviews on the back cover of my copy says ‘Extremely complicated, full of surprises. Some nasty people are depicted in unloving detail, and there is a great deal of suspense as the net closes’, and that is a pretty good description.”
