Mystery on Tape

Compiled by Tony Bradman
Read by Kevin Whately
69 mins, AUDIO BOOK, one cassette
8-10 Junior/Middle

Four stories written specially for audio by Robert Westall, Geraldine Kaye, Helen Dunmore and Mary Ross aimed at 8-11 year-olds, and read with convincing authority by Sgt Lewis of Inspector Morse, Kevin Whately. 'The Man' maintains intense sinister suspense when a stranger gets into Walter's carriage and terrifies him by knowing everything about him, even the name of his sister's pet rabbit. 'Solving Ettrick' is the tale of a new foster brother who creeps out in the middle of the night and tells lies. All the stories are tautly written, end happily and create a compelling sense of mystery and threat.
