Today's story: Malice at Autumn's End - Thriller by John Hyatt | Soundstage Tales with BBC

🎭 Welcome to Soundstage Tales, the place where powerful drama comes alive through sound, storytelling, and emotion. This is more than just an audio experience — it’s a journey into the heart of stories that echo the elegance and intensity of BBC drama, reimagined for today’s listeners.

Highlight:
"Malice at Autumn's End" by John Hyatt is a BBC Radio drama that was part of the "Saturday Night Theatre" series. The story is a thriller that combines elements of a police procedural with witchcraft and a touch of the supernatural.

The plot kicks off with a frightened woman seeking refuge in a church. This event sets in motion a murder investigation for newly-minted Inspector Hegel. He must untangle a complex web of deceit and betrayal that involves a local coven, a priest with a shadowy past, and a retired policeman seeking revenge. The central question is whether the crime is a result of a mundane plot or a sinister witch's curse. Inspector Hegel's challenge is to solve the case before the "curse" is carried out, navigating the tension between faith and fear, and the dark secrets that lie beneath a seemingly peaceful community.
