Paul Temple and the Geneva Mystery: BBC Radio 4 Full-cast Dramatisation (BBC Radio Collection)

The case Paul Temple investigates in "The Geneva Mystery" is the apparent death in Geneva of the brother-in-law of a wealthy financier, Maurice Lonsdale. Mr Lonsdale's sister, presumably a widow, becomes increasingly certain that her husband is still alive. The Temples travel to Switzerland, encountering further drama and mystery when crossing the Channel, in a wagon-lit express, and when having a sleigh ride.

About ten radio dramatizations of the Paul Temple mysteries have survived in the BBC archives. This is the second last, dating from 1965.

Another fantastic all cast radio dramatisation of a classic book. This crime thriller will leave you guessing until the end with it's twists and turns and will leave you searching for more from the late Francis Durbridge. The radio cast have done a tremendous job in transporting the listener back to the days of the Paul Temple. A must for all fans of Crime and Thriller.

After weeks of calendar crossing I was delighted to finally get my hands on Paul Temple and the Geneva Mystery and by Timothy it's another cracker.
Paul and Steve are off to Geneva to confirm or deny the death or disappearance of Carl Milbourne who was surely "Too Young To Die".
I had intended to try and prolong the thrill by listening to an episode a night but after the first bars of Coronation Scott transports you into Durbridge World, I defy anyone not to devour this in one sitting.

Lock the doors and take the phone off the hook!.
