Fancy reading another short story?

The novel upon which Hitchcock based the film 
"Rear Window".
The chilling and riveting story of a man immobilised in his apartment, observing the minutiae of life - and death - through his rear window. Most of Hal Jeffries's daily observations run to the mundane, until he plays back certain events in his mind and realises that they point to a murder.

 What do you fancy doing?
- Read the short story "It had to be murder" by Cornell Woolerich, 1942 (13 pages).
- Listen to it on BBC Radio Reading.
- Watch Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954)
