The Ghoul Of Golders Green - Part 4
An excellent tale by Michael Arlen. It's a longish story and so it will be told in four parts.
Arlen has a very sly and witty sense of humour in this story but that doesn't detract from the chilling descriptions of murder and references to Jack The Ripper; A name that still give us Londoners the shivers. But will you guess the twist? Keep tuned daily to listen to how Arlen's mind manipulates the story.
