Radio review – Suspense – “The Beast Within” (1944) *** (warning: spoilers)

Excellent episode with Herbert Marshall as a writer determined to kill the person he think has killed his son. Just when you think it’s going to whimp out there’s a great double twist ending – Marshall decides not to go through with drowning him, the guy dies anyway, it’s poison, others confess, Marshall reveals he actually did a false confession of drowning to throw people off the fact that he poisoned, Marshall kills himself.
