“Our mystery drama, ‘ Honeymoon with death’ was written especially for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dann.

The story line, particularly the mystery, is clever. Some of the “howsâ€ add doubt to poor Jennifer’s story- the wet tub that is dry, the corpse and blood that is not there. The solution is OK, and works because Jennifer is perpetually hysterical. Fortunately she meets up with a police officer that likes the pleading type...or so it seems. This may seem rather a hard view of our suffering lady in light of the fact that she was married and as far as she can tell saw her husband done in. It is a personal thing. Her nasally, about to cry or breakdown voice gets to me. In radio, the voice must carry emotions in such a way that conveys them alone, no physical cues. Our pathetic Jennifer has the emotions poured in and overflowed. And they tend to be pretty much the same emotions...â€ooooh ooohâ€, etc. I also thought officer Ted tried to be cute with some Columbo like lines, “ Hey, you do have a red sports carâ€....just thought you would like to know you have a 1000 miles more on it than you said, just thought you might like to knowâ€. This was the second or third listening of this episode, I did enjoy them more with the previous listenings. It’s not a bad episode overall, and the creepy Howard and Margaret help quite a bit. If it weren’t for all that whinning.
