About this listen

A short story from British Library Crime Classic The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories.

Inspired by the unsolved Peasenhall murder case of 1902, 'Blind Man’s Hood' shows Carter Dickson’s penchant for true crime.

When Rodney Hunter and his wife, Muriel, arrive late to a Christmas party in rural Kent, they are unsettled to find the isolated stately home open and empty of guests. While they await the party’s return, they are welcomed in by a mysterious hostess who regales them with the dark legend of Jane Waycross.

A short tale, well told and very enjoyable.
The ending is something you could half anticipate but still a good one.

Short, direct and thrilling

Really atmospheric and unusually spooky "locked room" mystery. Very strong elements of MR James abound.
