NOTES

Read by Edward Hardwicke

A wonderful selection of fictional detectives, all together in one superb collection of unabridged short stories. Find Sherlock Holmes with his long suffering colleague, Dr. Watson, in The Dying Detective, Father Brown as a witness in court in The Man in the Passage and everyone's favourite Inspector Morse in The Burglar. Appreciate Dame Muriel Spark's foray into the genre in Chimes and meet Nigel Strangeways, C. Day Lewis' (here writing as Nicholas Blake) young sleuth. Reader Edward Hardwicke, who played Watson to Jeremy Brett's Holmes in the early 1990s, makes an ideal reader for the genre. The unabridged stories here are: The Green Mamba by Edgar Wallace The Poetical Policeman by Edgar Wallace The Dying Detective by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The Burglar by Colin Dexter The Man in the Passage by G.K. Chesterton The Assassins' Club by C. Day Lewis writing as Nicholas Blake The Case of the Tragedles of the Greek Room by Sax Rohmer Chimes by Muriel Spark
