Synopsis

In a thrilling case that takes Paul and Steve to exotic Egypt, Paul Temple is called in to investigate a mysterious murder. The twisting trail takes them from London to the back streets and nightclubs of Cairo... From 1938 to 1969 crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve solved case after case in one of BBC radio’s most popular serials. They inhabited a sophisticated, well-dressed world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women were chic and the men wore cravats - and where Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard always needed Paul’s help with a tricky case. Now Paul Temple is being brought into the 21st century in this eight-part recording of a lost archive Paul Temple mystery, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson. This new production for BBC Radio 4 uses the original scripts, vintage sound effects and much of the incidental music from the missing 1947 production. As far as possible, it is a technical and stylistic replica of how that production might have sounded had its recording survived.

They seem like ordinary glasses, but hold the secret to a great fortune. Along the way, Temple and his wife must figure out the meaning of it......more

Goodreads review by Morgan on April 30, 2022

A rather complex story. Several suspects die (some of them more than once, lol) and the remainder are fairly obviously the bad guys. However, the “why” and keeping track of who-double-crossed-who were rather intriguing. And with that, I’ve finished the last BBC Dramatization of Paul Temple. Content:......more
