The Great British Radio Play presents......


A Decent British Murder


by Ken Whitmore

Publication date 19800202

A rather amusing yet thrilling "Escape Room mystery" radio play.

It's Christmas time. Colonel Grace is hosting a dinner party at his country manor consisting of people experienced in breaking and entering ... and his servants aren't quite on the upandup either.

As part of the festivities, the Colonel decides to hold an unusual parlor game: offering a thousand pounds to the person who can get into his intruderproof library. The catch? The room is protected by an a deafening alarm, heavy security locks and a guillotine device that will slice in half anyone entering or trying to enter unannounced. And on top of it all, there'll be one or two rather gruesome murders.
