Moon Rock

Arthur J. Rees's Moon Rock weaves a tale where aristocratic ambition collides with a brutal crime. It follows Robert Turold, a man consumed by his quest to reclaim a dormant family title, only to be murdered on the cusp of success. The immediate suspicion falls upon his daughter, but her sudden disappearance-following Robert's devastating claim that she is not his legitimate heir-throws the entire case into deeper shadow. Each episode delves into the unsettling clues and complex relationships surrounding this central tragedy. We examine the enigmatic role of Thalassa, Robert's manservant, whose quiet presence may hide pivotal secrets. This isn't just a recounting of events; it's an atmospheric exploration of obsession, betrayal, and the dark truths buried within a family's history. The narrative, presented in this fiction podcast, draws from the styles of classic mystery and modern true crime, creating a layered audio experience that feels both timeless and urgently suspenseful. Listen as we piece together the fragmented evidence, questioning every alibi and motive, to uncover what really happened the night the past finally caught up with Robert Turold.
