About this listen

In a tranquil Kentish village, Dr Sandys and his wife are preparing for Christmas with their guest, Liane 'Lee' Crauford. Festivities start badly when their party is spoiled by an enigmatic widow new to the village, and the atmosphere hits rock bottom when the pompous local nobleman and ceramic-collector Sir Henry Metcalfe unexpectedly dies. Sensing potential villains among Metcalfe's circle, Lee teams up with Detective-Inspector Hugh Gordon to discover the killer playing merry hell with her holiday in this lost vintage mystery, republished for the first time since 1952.

A very enjoyable post war crime novel beautifully narrated by Charlotte Strevens. I would love to read more by the same author.

Wonderful

Perfectly written, really gives an insight into the time. Loved the style of writing, and the narration was superb.

Brilliant Christmas murder read!

Last year's November 1st release "Dramatic Murder" was the best yet in the British Library "classic crime" series. Everybody please help in making British Library following up their crime classics releases with corresponding audiobooks, because we who are unable to read get left behind. Case in point is "Judas Window" by John Dickson Carr

Not up to last year's "Dramatic Murder", but very good
