Tune into the story of Murder on the Airwaves…

It’s 1955 and the BBC are facing competition from new kid on the block, ITV. In a bid to ensure their audience remains loyal, BBC management has insisted that long-running radio drama The Bowmans includes a dramatic storyline that will see a beloved character killed off. Rumours are rife, not least amongst the cast who are as much in the dark about the identity of the unlucky victim as their listeners.

Broadcast live every evening, The Bowmans is a fixture in many households with millions of fans tuning in to ‘an everyday tale of country folk’. Tonight, all will be revealed. The actors are nervously preparing to receive their scripts, knowing that for one of them, this will be their final performance. As the director indicates they are ‘on the air’, events take a dark and shocking turn and The Bowmans find themselves at the centre of a real-life murder investigation!

Join mystery novelist and top sleuth Miss Mapletree, as she leads you to decipher the case of Murder on the Airwaves!
