A Zeppelin with a deadly payload is aimed at Victoria station, but when the bombs miss their mark and instead destroy a nearby house in Washbourne Street, mystery ensues for DI Hardcastle.

Editorial reviews

Operating in the midst of the First World War, tensions are always at a high level in Graham Ison's Hardcastle Series. Performed by the intense and sharp-voiced David Thorpe, this adventure follows the famed Detective Inspector Hardcastle as he investigates a mysterious mishap wherein a seemingly innocent household was bombed by accident. The only problem, though - one of the bodies recovered appears to have been killed before the bombing. As fans of Ison and Hardcastle have come to expect, Hardcastle's Obsession keeps pace with clever dialogue and even more clever plot twists that is bound to keep your hand far from the pause bottom.

Excellent story, as usual the narration was brilliant . Graham Ison always writes a great story, with humour and murder combined. Characters very believable, brought to life by David Thorpe. Thank you.
