Murder in Piccadilly

De: Charles Kingston

Narrado por: Gordon Griffin

When Bobbie Cheldon falls in love with a pretty young dancer at the Frozen Fang night club, he has every hope of an idyllic marriage. But Nancy has more worldly ideas about her future: She is attracted not so much to Bobbie as to the fortune he expects to inherit.

Bobbie's miserly uncle Massy stands between him and happiness: Massy will not relinquish the $10,000 a year on which Nancy's hopes rest. When Bobbie falls under the sway of the roguish Nosey Ruslin, the stage is set for murder in the heart of Piccadilly - and for Nancy's dreams to be realised. When Chief Inspector Wake enters the scene, he uncovers a tangled web, a cynical Soho underworld, and a motive for murder.

Murder in Piccadilly

The reader does a wonderful job with the voices of different characters. As far as the plot...it was an intriguing extension of the shallow personalities of the main characters. However, I would not call this a who dunit....not a mystery. Even though I usually want to play detective, guessing who did it and how it was done...I've listened twice to this book, and will again.
