Murder at the Weekend by Melvyn Barnes

Francis durbridge was arguably the most popular writer of mystery thrillers for BBC radio and television from the 1930s to the 1970s, after which he enjoyed a successful career as a stage dramatist.In the 1940s and 1950s Paul Temple was the number one radio detective, so it is no surprise that he appeared in many short stories in newspapers and magazines.Here are twelve Paul Temple short stories that have never been been reprinted since their original publication over seventy years ago plus four non-Temple serials. three that that appeared in Sunday newspapers and one in a television magazine.

Francis Durbridge (1912-1998) wrote his first detective fiction when he was twenty-two years old and went on to write over a hundred more. Many of his novels and plays were broadcast on radio and television, and his most successful character, Detective Paul Temple, spawned twenty-one series over a thirty-year span.
