The Case Of The Frightened Lady - Edgar Wallace

The story unfolds in the grim grandeur of Mark’s Priory, the ancestral home of the Lebanon family. There's an eerie, oppressive atmosphere among the elite household — disquiet, secrets, and trust issues simmer beneath the surface. The calm is broken when the chauffeur is found strangled on the estate grounds. This grotesque shock plunges the household into panic; the servants are frightened, the family is unnerved .

The Case of the Frightened Lady, broadcast as part of BBC Theatre/Murder for Pleasure (Saturday‑Night Theatre) on January 5, 1963 and adapted by Cynthia Pughe.
