Christmas With The Detectives torrent

Just as one is encouraged to “shop early for Christmas”, Pigman suggests that one should seed early for Christmas as well. I found these “at the back of a drawer” on my hard disk so thought I would share them now – but don’t open your download until Christmas, otherwise Santa may not come calling…….

These are four stories, each read by Tom Conti, and with a Christmas theme:

1) The Blue Carbuncle – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
A well known Sherlock Holmes tale of a stolen diamond discovered inside a Christmas goose.

2) The Thieves Who Couldn’t Help Sneezing – Thomas Hardy
Not the sort of thing one thinks of from Thomas Hardy, this is the story of horse thieves and house breakers in Wessex.

3) The Necklace Of Pearls – Dorothy L Sayers
Not my favourite author or favourite detective, Lord Peter Wimsey finds himself as usual in a country house

4) The Flying Stars – G K Chesterton
Father Brown finds himself involved with Pantomime people. (Oh no he doesn’t!)
