This is a great premise. But I can't help wonder whether they should have changed the story slightly to add a bit more tension, rather than blaming the murder all on the August heat...
i absolutely love these. it seems all i listen to lately is vintage radio.
Me too ! Better than tv.
I listened to these as a child, and just came across them again a few years back.
I'm 48, but I still love a story at bed time :)
I'm with you 💯. Better smarter entertainment w/o anyone's politics.
I love these old episodes as I’m driving✌️

I remember listening to these with my grandparents on road trips.when I was little.
After 5 minutes I had to shut it off. That whining is intolerable.
Yours or the actress?
Love R.M. New England accent. Great actor too!
