Fantastic Collection of Old-Time Radio Mysteries

This is a great collection with an excellent variety of shows. Great for long drives or treadmill time.

Variable Quaality

Some expected greats like Ellery Queen, Sherlock Holmes, Peter Marlowe but some not so good. The final Johnny Dollar episodes were a pleasant surprise.
