I enjoyed the creepiness of the castle, complete with a thunderstorm, spooky servants, and a sinister statue. But while listening to the program, I couldn't help but think of the Thin Man series.

The casual and charming mystery-solving style Brad generates, and his flirting interaction with Julie, reminded me of the relationship Nick and Nora Charles share. Sherlock Holmes would have never behaved so badly

Even with the comical dialogue, the story still manages to create a sense of drama and foreboding. I agree with ApplCinamn, I could almost see this one playing out in my head.
