    Rick -

    Thanks again for a murder mystery that I love.

      I agree with both of you.  I sincerely hope that a new cap of it will be uncovered but as I always said, I will listen to and collect anything good despite the quality until a better copy comes along. LOL  ----------------------  Rick

    Cheers for this, Rick. Worth listening to regardless of sound.

      You are welcome.  That is what I said in the first place.  I just had to warn people because some have trouble hearing if the sound is iffy.  I have the 80K original from before someone did a little work on it but , alas, a play recorded this badly there isn't much can be done.  Luckily, for me it was enough to be able to get through it, which I never could on the 80K original that was floating around the net.  I hope it is enough for other ears too. Me, being the obsessive compulsive completist that I am had to put it in my collection regardless. Cheers to you too Dave and Happy New Year.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Rick

      I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite the brief 'wobbly' stretch and didn't find that to be a challenge to following the drama at all! I'd much rather have it to listen to with some degree of compromised sound quality, than to miss out on such a great locked room mystery!

      thanks again Rick!

    A bit more of a teaser ..

    A classic locked room murder mystery. Colonel Victor Grace invites a number of guests for Christmas to his remote country house. he sets them the challenge of breaking into his locked study guarded by alarms and possibly a deadly guillotine at the door. Next morning, he is found dead inside his locked room......
