Burglary at the Bowling Club | Inspector Purbright Mysteries | BBC Radio Drama

Описание: In the deceptively tranquil market town of Flaxborough, life revolves around routine, gossip, and the genteel social rituals of its citizens. But when the quiet of a Sunday morning is shattered by the discovery of a break-in at the venerable Flaxborough Bowling Club, whispers rip through the town like stones skimming across a green. Nothing of real value seems to be missing — yet the disorder in the club’s members’ room suggests there is more here than meets the eye.

Enter Detective Inspector Walter Purbright, a thoughtful and unflappable investigator whose knack for reading a room is rivaled only by his appreciation for social nuance. With the help of his reliable Sergeant and a parade of nervous suspects — from the club secretary with too many secrets to the rival bowlers nursing bruised egos — Purbright begins to unravel the curious motives behind this seemingly trivial burglary.

As the investigation progresses, the surface civility of Flaxborough’s favourite social corner reveals petty rivalries, hidden alliances, and a truth stranger than any of its residents expected. In classic Purbright fashion, the seemingly simple crime becomes a window into the human foibles of a town with a polished veneer and messy heart.
