A Man Lay Dead & A Surfeit Of Lampreys: The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries Audiobook (Free)

Two detective tales featuring gentleman detective Roderick Alleyn, adapted for BBC Radio. In A GUY Lay Dead, a game of murders at Sir Hubert Handesley’s country house party becomes far too reasonable for anyone’s preference. First a guest arrives having a dangerously lethal dagger and then, when the gong sounds to announce the beginning of the game, the victim plays dead in a very convincing manner. Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn thinks the unusual dagger is an essential clue towards the real-life murder, and soon he’s on the trail of a Russian secret society. IN THE Surfeit of Lampreys, the aristocratic Lampreys are enchanting but penniless – so a visit in the wealthy mind of their family members is greatly anticipated. However, their Uncle Gabriel isn’t persuaded to spend the his money and a row ensues. When a body is situated in the lift leading to the Lampreys’ toned, Main Detective Inspector Alleyn discovers a family group immersed in hidden secrets and intrigue.
