    About this audiobook

    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?

    Arthur J. Rees

    Arthur John Rees (1872–1942), was an Australian writer born in Melbourne. He is best remembered for his mystery and detective novels and short stories. Although he was a prolific writer and his works were enjoyed widely in Australia and England, his biography is obscured. He most likely travelled to Europe in his early twenties and lived in England for some time. Many of his novels are set in English locations.

      Like most novels of this period it can be laborious, twisty and convoluted. But that's why I like them. The ending is pure Agatha Christie in the slow unwinding of the murder plot and the reveal of the killer. The narrator is very good.
