I have only listened to "AN Insp Calls" on the radio, many years ago, so my answer will not be rich in details. The atmosphere seemed incredibly similar. The same foreboding feeling, the bad weather, the night keeping them hostages in Mouse Trap (although in "An Insp" it is the mysterious character himself who prevents them from leaving the house). In both plays the police inspectors are not who or what they claim to be. The tension builds up in both plays, and the conclusion is quite shocking, even baffling in "AN Insp". The latter has nevertheless an additional feature, i.e. the fantastic element. Just when the "accused" learn that no-one has died, when they discover that the girl the Inspector was referring to did not exist, as the girl they knew (and mistreated) were in fact several distinct girls, when they are told by "his superiors" that there is no inspector answering to that name... they are announced that a girl did die and that a police inspector will call on them to interrogate them!
