About this listen

 The Curzon Case is a gripping story of kidnapping, intrigue and sudden death. Boys disappear from a public school, an aeroplane crashes nearby, and a murder occurs. Paul Temple has his work cut out trying to find out if all the events are connected and tracking down the mysterious Curzon.

Crime novelist and detective Paul Temple, and his glamorous wife, Steve, made their first appearance on BBC Radio in 1938. They inhabited a sophisticated world of chilled cocktail. Now the great radio detective lives again in a brand new reading by Anthony Head.

This Paul Temple story is not included in the 4 BBC PT compilations and is also unusual in being read by a single actor rather than being a full cast play.

If you enjoy the Paul Temple stories this is a treat. If you are new to PT then you should know this is probably set in the mid sixties and is definitely a creature of its times. The relationship between Steve (the wife) and Paul is slightly less anachronistic in this story than most others but is still really a pre-war view and strange to 21st century ears.

There are the usual improbabilities but not strained enough to mar the story.

The narration is excellent.

Well read Paul temple period piece

Beware! I have notified Audible about this description (and the Harkdale robbery also incorrectly labelled).

However, in spite of that it is a cracking good yarn!

This is NOT a dramatisation!

We have all came to love and here and for the voices. Nope. It just doesn’t work. Lovely male voice but we need ripple who can do the other voices. It just felt all wrong and I gave up

No not as good as the Steve and temple
