Adapted for radio by Joy Wilkinson

Written in 1967 this is a psychological thriller wrapped around a love story - with a dash of the supernatural. Lonely drifter Mike Rogers finally settles down when he meets young heiress Ellie Guteman. They build the house of their dreams in a beautiful and remote area, ignoring rumours of a curse. With their arrival, however, the curse seems to come to life, and they find themselves in grave danger.

From The Radio Times
If it's drama based upon a Agatha Christie-penned story then there's got to be a mystery and at least one suspicious death. No surprises so far, but then in comes a curse, some possible haunting and enough psychological twists and tumbles to upset a stable Saturday afternoon.

The crucial facts reveal the true nature of the murderer and the victim;s deaths are slowly released. The pace is measured, but intensely sinister, with Jonathan Forbes turning in a particularly convincing performance as the rough diamond who marries an heiress

     It must be quite a balancing act at times keeping so many groups up to date with new programs and materials.   Thank you once again, Rick, for your dedication!!
