Cape Cod Mystery V7: Volume 7 (Cape Cod Radion Mystery Theatre Series) [Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Steven Thomas Oney (Author)

Book Description

Series: Cape Cod Radion Mystery Theatre Series | Publication Date: December 1, 1996

The intrepid Captain Underhill returns in a trilogy of spine-tingling mysteries from Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater.

In "Murder from the Bridge," an elderly man plunges to his death from the Sagamore Bridge spanning the Cape Cod Canal. To determine whether it was suicide or murder, Captain Underhill returns to the bridge for a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.

In the 1991 mystery "Some People Are Missing On Canal Street," which was created during the 52nd anniversary of Orson Welles' radio drama "The War of the Worlds," Captain Underhill untangles a Halloween prank comparable in scale to Welles' infamous hoax.

American history is rewritten in "The Junebug Mystery, or Someone Is Out to Kill You, Mr. President." It's 1961, and a young deputy Underhill is assigned to protect the newly elected John F. Kennedy—who is being stalked by none other than John Wilkes Booth.

Suspenseful storylines, taut pacing, and excellent casting abound in this volume in the popular Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater series.

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.
