Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1994

The spine-tingling public radio series continues with two more full-length thrillers from award-winning writer/producer/director Steven Thomas Oney. Volume IV features two new mysteries for Captain Underhill: "The Case of the Shooting Star," a diabolical insurance fraud scheme; and "The Golden Idol, the Magwitch, and the Donkey's Tail," in which Mrs. Kemp's granddaughter is about to marry a French playboy who may also be a poisoner. Captain Underhill must break up the marriage before it occurs, employing a clever ruse and a thousand-year-old lie detector test.

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.
