Mystery House

It was not uncommon for a radio series to be associated with a publishing firm, but Mystery House gave book promotion a slight twist. In each program, the staff members of Mystery House, that strange publishing firm owned by Dan and Barbara Glenn, would pitch in to perform a half-hour mystery, while others would provide sound effects, rewrite scripts and so on, with the premise of demonstrating the credibility of a novel before it was published. Information on this light hearted dramatic series is sketchy at best, but what we do know is that this unique series offers some tight and nifty little mysteries, presented in a novel manner, and that all have been transferred from original master recordings and painstakingly restored to preserve their full superior audio fidelity. Chapters: #1 Death Passed My Window #2 Subrosa Justice #3 Laugh? I Thought I'd Die! #4 Murder Takes Practice #5 Death with a Punch #6 The Composite Killer #7 Murder Me Gently #8 Death is an Accident #9 Bury Me Not #10 A Kill
