About this listen

The most famous of all locked-room mysteries - a classic in the crime genre.

'The first deadly walking of the hollow man took place when the side streets of London were quiet with snow and the three coffins of the prophecy were filled at last...'

The murderer of Dr Grimauld walked through a locked door, shot his victim and vanished. He killed his second victim in the middle of an empty street, with watchers at each end, yet nobody saw him, and he left no footprints in the snow.

And so it is up to the irrepressible, larger-than-life Dr Gideon Fell to solve this most famous and taxing of locked-room mysteries.

Critic Reviews

John Dickson Carr was a master of the locked room mystery ... a murder takes place in circumstances that make it seem impossible for the killer to have escaped undetected ... The sheer ingenuity of the plot is a delight
Very few detective stories baffle me nowadays, but Mr Carr's always do (Agatha Christie)

Fun murder mystery. But the voices for the characters seemed to change from chapter to chapter which got a little confusing.

Good story, weird performance.

This book is an absolute classic. Peter Noble makes an OK performance. I am so happy John Dickson Carr books is finally being produced. I only hope more will follow, and that Gordon Griffin will NOT be hired to ruin them
