However Oscar does not report his finding for 24 hours and when he returns to the room, the body is gone. The boy, Billy Wood, is a friend of Oscar's. In the first few minutes Oscar strides into a house on Cowley Street and finds the body of a young boy, his throat is cut and he is surrounded by candles. In Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders the story is quite straightforward. I've been intrigued by these for a while but finally pushed myself to try one as Gyles Brandreth was a guest at Crime Fest this year (and will be the toastmaster next year). Three so far have been published and the first two are available in audio book format. This is the first in what I've heard is a projected ten books series. Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders by Gyles Brandreth, narrated by Bill Wallis (Chivers Audio Books, 10 CDs, Sep 2008, ISBN: 9781405684613)
