I used to listen to these mystery episodes in the 70\'s and 80\'s -- wonderful to find them here on line -- they are great-the acting, sound effects, background mood music ... only problem is that I wish the tales were not mostly  about  killing and death ... as good as they are,  I prefer stories that are not filled w/horror, madness and murder...they can be just as thrilling - I guess that there has always been - and will always be an appetite for fear and bloodshed.
