Cape Cod Mystery V2: Volume 2 [Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Steven Thomas Oney (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1993

Unrelenting suspense, superb ensemble acting, realistic sound effects, and original music: These are the hallmarks of Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater, the acclaimed series that has garnered legions of devoted fans among public radio listeners nationwide. Created by award-winning writer/producer/director Steven Thomas Oney, Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater follows in the grand tradition of shows such as The Shadow from the golden age of radio. It uses the medium's most powerful property—the unique imagination of the individual listener—to present spine-tingling contemporary thrillers.

Volume II in the series contains three full-length dramatizations: "The Legacy of Euriah Pillar," a Captain Waverly Underhill mystery; "The Hypnotist," a chilling tale of dread; and "Mr. Hugo's Night to Remember," a mystery lampoon recorded live.

From AudioFile

"It's a foggy night on old Cape Cod--a perfect night for a mystery. . . ." So begins each of the three episodes of this public radio show. These tales are perfect for audio--entertaining and suspenseful. The tone and style of these mysteries, which hearken back to the golden age of radio, are enhanced by original music and excellent sound effects. The weak part of this presen-tation, however, is the narration. The actors' characterizations, voices and styles range from very professional to embarrassingly amateurish. Still, if you're in the mood for a mystery and it's a cold, foggy night, this audio presentation will keep you alert. M.R.
