About this listen

 In a thrilling case that takes Paul and Steve to exotic Egypt, Paul Temple is called in to investigate a mysterious murder. The twisting trail takes them from London to the back streets and nightclubs of Cairo.

From 1938 to 1969, crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife, Steve, solved case after case in one of BBC radio's most popular serials. They inhabit a sophisticated, well-dressed world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women are chic and the men still wear cravats - and where Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard always needs Paul's help with a tricky case. Now, Paul Temple is being brought into the 21st century in this brand-new eight-part recording of a lost-archive Paul Temple mystery, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson.

I love to listen to these on a cold lazy Sunday afternoon as I can snuggle up & relax to a charming good detective story for over 3 hours. These are pure joy as you follow the husband & wife team to find the murderer. Set in UK 50' & 60's these are excellently produced with a fantastic sound track of guns, parties, fires, speedboats & all sorts of exciting goings on. I bought the full collection. Steve & Paul are becoming like old friends. Love it ❤️

❤️BRILLIANT & FANTASTIC Paul Temple

It is quite an entertaining story and worth listening to simply for the language "By Timothy!" etc or for the fact that Paul Temple and his wife Steve seem to drink quite a few Martinis with no ill effects!

A fascinating period piece!

This is a dramatisation of a Paul Temple play in the style of the original broadcasts. It is a detective story 'of its time' when the vogue was for amateurs to solve cases for the police. The cast and production values are excellent and the story is sufficiently quirky, maybe even clunky, to be entertaining. My preference is still for the early Peter Coke versions, but this is an excellent alternative. If you like old fashioned , stylised 'detective' mysteries. then you will probably like this.

Excellent, in the style of the original broadcast

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if you like oldies radio theatre

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

A sure thing

Which character – as performed by Full Cast – was your favourite?

Paul Temple, because I like his performance by mister Logan.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes. it`s a very good addition to the Paul Temple/steve saga. Although if you listened to the other stories in the series, you can get a bit too used to the way that these stories are put together.
