Bats in the Belfry

Written by E.C.R. Lorac

Narrated by David Thorpe

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.

Reviews for Bats in the Belfry

[MLJS-piano · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What 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.

This was riveting from the start to the finish, I thought every character suspect to the very end. Excellent read!

Good fun. This is another of Lorac’s enjoyable stories, full of interesting twists and some good humor along the way.
