Ken Whitmore's "The Red Telephone Box: A Whimsical Murder Mystery" for BBC Radio is a delightful and clever whodunit centered around an unusual method of murder and the eccentric characters involved. The core of the mystery revolves around a victim, Dobbel, who is murdered in a highly improbable way, seemingly by someone speaking to him through a red telephone box. The detective investigating the case, along with the audience, must unravel how the killer managed to orchestrate such a crime, especially when the killer appears to be simultaneously at home and outside Dobbel's house. The "whimsical" element comes from the unique and seemingly impossible circumstances of the murder, as well as the witty dialogue and the peculiar personalities of the characters. The solution involves cunning use of a cassette player and a series of misdirection designed to mislead the victim and the police. It's a charming and intricate puzzle that relies on sharp deductions and an appreciation for the absurd.
