‘A delightfully shiversome set of tales to be read over a series of dark nights.’—The Invisible Event‘The collection is full to the brim with elegant and subtle writing, clever character studies and some masterclass-level misdirection. Perfect for a long winter’s night.’—Crime Review‘Criminally spooky – would make a great Christmas stocking gift!’—FictionFan‘Despite being hitherto “lost”, there are few duds here.’—Guardian‘A particular favourite of mine was Agatha Christie’s Personal Call, written for the BBC’s Light Programme in 1954.
