Murder in the Basement

Written by Anthony Berkeley

Narrated by Sean Barrett

When two newlyweds move into their new home, only to discover that a corpse has been buried in their basement a few months prior, a gruelling case is begun to trace the identity of the victim. With all avenues of investigation approaching exhaustion, a tenuous lead offers a chance for Chief Inspector Moresby, and leads him to the amateur criminologist Roger Sheringham, who has recently been providing cover work in a school south of London. Desperate for evidence of any kind on the basement case, Moresby begins to sift through the manuscript of a satirical novel Sheringham had been writing about his colleagues at the school, convinced that amongst the cast of teachers hides the victim – and perhaps their murderer.

[corinne nemo · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Honestly I think the other review is abit unfair, there’s a great story within a story in the middle of this and the premise is very columbo like. I enjoyed the intense details of the investigation, it’s abit like a written true crime documentary. Narration excellent!
