Summary

Could a murder at the Marston House in 1935 have connections to the mysterious disappearances at the Blake House in 2010? How does Philip Gibson fit in? And why do so many roads seem to lead back to Joseph Curwen? More questions than answers as Kennedy and Byron move from Essex to Suffolk. Three years on from The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and Heawood's disappearance at Pleasant Green, the Lovecraft Investigations are back and podcaster Kennedy Fisher is following new clues in Julian Simpson’s H P Lovecraft-inspired universe. Cast: Kennedy Fisher - Jana Carpenter Marcus Byron - Ben Crowe Eleanor Peck - Nicola Walker Written and directed by Julian Simpson Music composed by Tim Elsenburg Sound design: David Thomas Production Assistant: Ethan Elsenburg Producer: Sarah Tombling Executive Producer: Karen Rose A Sweet Talk production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
