London, 1945. The capital is shrouded in the darkness of the blackout, and mystery abounds in the parks after dusk. During a stroll through Regent's Park, Bruce Mallaig witnesses two men acting suspiciously around a footbridge. In a matter of moments, one of them has been murdered; Mallaig's view of the assailant but a brief glimpse of a ghastly face in the glow of a struck match.

The murderer's noiseless approach and escape seems to defy all logic, and even the victim's identity is quickly thrown into uncertainty. Lorac's shrewd yet personable C.I.D. man, MacDonald, must set to work once again to unravel this near-impossible mystery.

I have been enjoying the Lorac novels that have been recorded. I was disappointed in the nasal drawl that this narrator decided upon for MacDonald. Not a trace of the empathetic Scot in this characterization. Since his other characterizations were quite good, I stuck with it.
As for the story, aside from the mystery itself, I found the descriptions of wartime London vividly revealing. Here’s hoping more of her books will be recorded. Preferably with Kris Dyer.

Good story, bad match

An intelligently planned story, full of distinct characters, and read by one of the very best narrators I've ever heard.
Even though the book was written in the 1940's, it doesn't seem dated at all. Would love to hear more from this
author and this narrator.

Wonderfully plotted, superbly narrated

I really cannot tell whether it is the story, or the narrator, which were more outstanding (or outlandish) - definitely a buy, and a must-hear!

First-Class Narrator Fit for a Most Peculiar Story

Macdonald and friends investigate the death of a wastrel. The witnesses saw glimpses when a match was lit during the blackout. Lots of red herrings and good characters, well performed. Highly recommended.

Great book. Great characters. Wish there were more. Why can’t there be more modern stories like this. Not everything has to CSI this or that

Amazing

Fantastic mystery, but you really do have to pay attention. It's complicated! My only small complaint is that Mr. Elstob' individual character voices could use some work. Other than that, this is outstanding. I highly recommend.

What a "who dunnit

I just love these British crime writers. Nice twisty tale with a difficult to guess solution!

Interesting glimpse into WW2 era blackout

Downloaded this to divert me during household chores, having exhausted the Agatha Christie oeuvre. Well written and crafted, yes, and you rarely forget that the plot consists of puzzle pieces intended to throw you off.

What really stands out are the details of life during wartime London, and the engrossing descriptions of blacked-out nighttime: Artillery in Hyde Park, the utter darkness of the streets, the nervy chitchat in the air raid shelters, the bombed out streets — all written with a persuasive sense of immediacy and authenticity.

The narrator was very good, although a bit over-the- top with some of the more over-the-top characters (music hall performers who are suspects in the murder).

Overall, an engaging classic-style British mystery with the great bonus of the wartime details.
