About this listen

Two of John Bude's finest Golden Age mysteries return to the limelight.

In Death in White Pyjamas a theatre-owner, a 'slightly sinister' producer, a burgeoning playwright and a cast of ego-driven actors have gathered at a country home to read through a script. But before the production reaches the stage, one of their number is found murdered in the grounds wearing what seems to be somebody else's white pyjamas.

And in Death Knows No Calendar, detective-fiction enthusiast Major Tom Boddy is investigating a deadly shooting with no shooter in a locked artist's studio. There are four colourful suspects to scrutinise, and not one but two 'impossible' elements of the crime to solve.

After the initial surprise, to me, of a different narrator from the earlier John Bude stories, I thoroughly enjoyed Saul Reichlin's characterisations.

Both stories delivered what I hoped for, light hearted entertainment and engaging characters.

The pacing of them is what I have expected from Bude's work. Therefore I read these takes high.

Two Enjoyable, Golden Age Era, mystery stories.
