About this audiobook
Bruce Attleton dazzled London’s literary scene with his first two novels but his early promise did not bear fruit. His wife Sybilla is a glittering actress, unforgiving of Bruce’s failure, and the couple lead separate lives in their house at Regent’s Park. When Bruce is called away on a sudden trip to Paris, he vanishes completely until his suitcase and passport are found in a sinister artist’s studio, the Belfry, in a crumbling house in Notting Hill, and Inspector Macdonald must uncover Bruce’s secrets. This intricate mystery from a classic writer is set in a superbly evoked London of the 1930s.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a tangled web of lies we weave... I was totally taken by this wonderfully crafted tale of old London. The reader is fantastic, the pace just right, & the story is worthy of any masterpiece mystery bookshelf... and I've read all the best. I highly recommend this delightful discovery of a new (to me anyhow) name in the murder mystery lineage.
