The Shrieking Pit


Read by Kevin Green

(4.5 stars; 253 reviews)

The Shrieking Pit is one of Arthur Rees's earlier works, and is a good old fashioned murder mystery story. Grant Colwyn, a private detective, is holidaying in East Anglia when he notices a young man at a nearby table behaving peculiarly. The young man later leaves the hotel without paying his bill, and turns up in a nearby hamlet in the Norfolk marshes where he takes lodgings at the village inn. The next day, another guest at the inn is found dead, and the young man is missing. Can Colwyn sort out the mystery and prove the young man's innocence one way or the the other?

A very enjoyable whodunnit with many red herrings. The narrator Kevin Green gives an excellent well paced rendition which results in a beautifully relaxing audio experience.

Enjoyable with a cuppa and blanket...

Clean, entertaining plot with some twists. Cast of characters is likable and have enough depth to draw a reader in...Enjoyable reading by Kevin Green.

Good one!


(5 stars)

Normally I have trouble following an extremely detailed mystery like this one, but the author does a great job of making everything clear, repeating the points until he drove them home, and keeping the listener/reader in the loop. It is very well narrated, and a riveting story that keeps you guessing until the end. Speaking of the end, that was my only complaint. It ends very abruptly. Everything is spelled out, but it leaves you feeling like the story just comes to a screeching halt. But don’t let that deter you from listening. It is definitely a worthwhile adventure!

Mr. Kevin Green is Marvelous!


(5 stars)

Not to say the story is lacking but Kevin Green is so enjoyable that I cannot imagine The Shrieking Pit being read by anyone else. Good tale that was engaging to the end. Now I’m off to find another book read by Mr. Green.

Excellent

THIS IS A VERYGRIPPING THRILLER, SLOW AT TIMES BUT WELL WORTH HEARING IT THROUGH. OF COURSE YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE SMARTER AND DUMBEST INVESTIGATRS NO STORY WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT BOTH .I REALLY HAD TO MAKE MYSELF TURN IT OFF TO GO TO SLEEP BUT I FINISHED IT AS SOON AS I WOKE UP. GREAT WRITING.

Excellent mystery story


(4 stars)

The summary covers the plot. This story has a number of mysteries in it, and weaves them together nicely. Who is the mysterious young man? Why would he refuse to defend himself? Can our hero save him from the gallows? Kevin does a wonderful job with the recordings. Thank you!
