http://www.adfreebooks.com - 500+ audiobooks, all ad free Although the Sherlock Holmes canon traditionally consists of four novels and 56 short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, there are many Sherlock Holmes stories outside the canon. Most of these noncanonical stories were written by authors other than Doyle, but there are four short stories about Holmes written by Doyle that are nonetheless excluded from the canon, for various reasons. This album consists of these four noncanonical stories. The first story, 'The Field Bazaar', was first published in 1896 in a special issue of a University of Edinburgh student newspaper called The Student. Doyle wrote this very brief story to support a fundraising event at the university, his alma mater, but most scholars consider the story to be a parody and therefore not part of the canon. The second and third stories, 'The Lost Special' and 'The Man with the Watches', were both published in The Strand Magazine in 1898 and both feature mysteries involving trains. These two stories are not part of the canon because neither story mentions Holmes by name, although literary scholars have proposed that the unnamed 'amateur reasoner' in 'The Lost Special' and the unnamed 'well-known criminal investigator' in 'The Man with the Watches' are intended to be Holmes, and this theory is accepted for the purposes of this LibriVox album. Doyle wrote the fourth story, 'How Watson Learned the Trick', for a miniature book that was placed in Queen Mary's Dolls' House, a dollhouse built for Queen Mary in the 1920s that housed a tiny library featuring works by several famous authors of the day, the contents of which were published in 1924 for public consumption. Considered a companion piece to 'The Field Bazaar' due to both stories consisting entirely of conversations between Holmes and Watson over breakfast, 'How Watson Learned the Trick' is similarly excluded from the canon on the grounds of being a parody. more

Interviews with today's leading (and emerging) crime writers of color with host Robert Justice.

Boston Blackie was created by writer Jack Boyle as a jewel thief and safecracker with a heart of gold. The character was featured in nine silent films. In 1941, Blackie returned to film in the era of talkies. Much like the Saint , the character reformed from a thief into a detective. Blackie was always Inspector Farraday's prime suspect in any major crime. The films were very popular with fourteen films made starring Chester Morris. Morris brought Blackie to the radio in a summer replacement radio series for NBC in 1944. Then in 1945, first-run syndication king Frederick Ziv created a new series starring Broadway Actor Richard Kollmar as Blackie and featuring the best talent in New York radio. The series was the most successful first-run syndication program of its era, producing 288 episodes of which at least 190 are in circulation.Ziv took the series to television in 1951 for two syndicated series featuring Kent Taylor as Blackie. Throughout his many iterations in the 1940s, Blackie remained a clever crime-solver whose past gave him a slight edge and made him a bit of a lovable rogue who fought on the side of the angels. He was the type of guy you wanted in your corner when the chips were down. 'Enemy to those who make him an enemy. Friend to those who have no friend.' Host Adam Graham presents every circulating old time radio episode of Boston Blackie with episodes starring Chester Morris and later Richard Kollmar. This was originally presented as part of the Great Detectives of Old TIme Radio podcast. more

One of the first locked room mysteries, The Mystery of the Yellow Room focuses on a supposedly impossible crime which has been committed within a locked room. The novel was initially published in the French periodical L'illustration, and was later published as a book in 1908. It is the first of a series of novels featuring the famous fictional reporter Joseph Rouletabille. The mystery begins when Joseph Rouletabille, a reporter and amateur sleuth is sent to investigate a crime scene at the Château du Glandier, home to renowned chemist Joseph Stangerson. In the focus of the crime is none other than professor Stangerson's daughter Mathilde. She has been viciously attacked and almost killed in her room, or as the title suggests the yellow room. What makes the crime so bewildering is the fact that it took place in a room locked from the inside with no apparent exit for the perpetrator. As Miss Stangerson is found alone lying on the floor, the assailant seems to have left significant clues behind, including a bloody mutton bone, a bloody handprint on the wall, and some old boots. Accompanied by his friend and lawyer Sainclair, Rouletabille gains access to the crime scene and interrogates some suspicious characters. The official detective assigned to the case is Frederick Larson, who becomes somewhat of a friendly rival to Rouletabille, and suspects Miss Stangerson's fiancé Robert Darzac to be involved in the crime. As the mystery unfolds, the darkest secrets and twisted nature of the characters are slowly revealed. A novel portraying the many facets of deception, hazardous ambition and foul play, The Mystery of the Yellow Room sets the benchmark for detective fiction. Furthermore, readers are intellectually challenged to follow the many clues left behind, pushing them into the role of detective in hope of unraveling the mystery. Nevertheless, intriguing and nail biting to the very end, Leroux has effectively masterminded a perplexing mystery, widely celebrated to this very day. more

Horatio Leavenworth, an immensely wealthy bachelor, is a retired merchant who enjoys great social position and respect. His two orphan nieces, Mary and Eleanor live with him in a luxurious mansion in New York's upscale Fifth Avenue. One morning, he is found mysteriously dead in his study, shot neatly through the back of his head. His will, written some time earlier, is discovered, in which he has left his entire fortune to one of the nieces, while cutting out the other completely. The building, which had remained locked throughout the night, houses a number of servants besides the two young ladies. The finger of suspicion can point only to someone inside.Written nine years before the advent of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, The Leavenworth Case is little known today. However, connoisseurs of detective fiction would immediately recognize this genre reating work by an author who is now acknowledged as 'the mother of detective fiction.' The book published in 1878 was the first ever American detective novel. It was a runaway bestseller and Anna Katharine Green, its thirty-two year old author, is credited with many other firsts. She was the first writer to develop the 'whodunit' in its classic form. She also created the 'series detective' which is a device that has been explored by countless writers of mystery novels to this day.Another invention of hers was the 'girl detective' as an amateur young woman who stumbles into mysteries and solves them by dint of brilliant, logical thinking and solid leg work. Other innovations that Green is credited with are the wispy spinster, Amelia Butterworth, an early forerunner to Agatha Christie's little old maid, Miss Marple. The detective, Ebenezer Gryce, who featured in nearly a dozen of Green's later books is a portly, comfortable looking, unassuming, shy fellow whose brilliant talents are kept well hidden. Various plot devices like bodies in the library, locked room mysteries, expert witnesses and the legal aspects of detective story have their origin in Green's novels. In fact, she was so highly regarded in her time that Yale Law School used her books to teach classes in the damaging effects of using circumstantial evidence while arguing a case.The Leavenworth Case is a complex, intriguing and thoroughly gripping mystery, full of unexpected twists and turns. This is a great addition to your bookshelf and could well be the first of a collection of the more than thirty books written by a regrettably forgotten master of the craft. more

Paint by Murders is an original, as of yet unpublished, mystery novel. It is the first in a series of Harrisburg Homicides. It is written, hosted, and narrated by M. Travis DiNicola. Overview: The Capital city and its art galleries, bars, restaurants, and long-held secrets are featured in this cozy- inspired mystery that is as unpredictable as the mighty Susquehanna River it sits on. When painter Keith Reed stumbles across a dead body in a Harrisburg bookstore, he doesn't yet know that the victim was bludgeoned with an autographed brick once used in a work by the internationally famous 'bad boy' artist Alan Moonshine. Moonshine has been dead for ten years, but his dangerous legacy pushes Keith and his wife, Ginger, to try to paint a picture of what happened before anyone else is murdered, or before Keith's narcolepsy catches him napping at the worst possible moment. After a local art gallery recreates a few of Moonshine's outrageous performances, the actor who portrayed Moonshine is arrested for the crime. Keith suspects that the real killer is still on the loose in this river town: a theory that proves true when a second body is found, floating in the Susquehanna. Like any good amateur detective mystery there are cats, detailed descriptions of gourmet meals, unique locations, and a quirky community. However, there are also 'recreations' of Alan Moonshine's most important performances, thought-provoking observations about the contemporary art world, and genre-bending moments that bring this story alive. Each episode of this podcast will feature subsequent installments from the novel. If you would like more information about the project, of have comments you would like to share, please do so on the social media pages where you found this, or email me at paintbymurders@gmail.com Thanks for listening.

Perry Mason is a fictional defense attorney who originally appeared in detective fiction by Erle Stanley Gardner. This long running radio drama had several actors who played the famous lawyer starting with Bartlett Robinson and then followed by Santos Ortega, Donald Briggs, and finally John Larkin who played the famous attorney after 1947.The radio portrayal of Perry Mason is a far more involved lawyer then the one who became famous on TV, the radio version would rather swap gunshots with evildoers than sit in a boring courtroom, waiting for the deliberation! The show was only 10 minutes and was more intense and favored action than courtroom drama. Perry Mason ran 12 seasons and moved to TV in the late 1950's with the now famous portrayal by Raymond Burr.Each show follows a continues story line similar to soap operas.

The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio presents the adventures of several amateur gentleman detectives who solve crimes with their wits and for the thrill of it. A Life In Your Hands The forgotten, underrated Erle Stanley Gardener-created radio series A Life in Your Hands remains a diamond in the rough. It was a summer replacement for NBC in four different seasons with three different actors playing the lead role. In many ways, it was a legal fantasy. Jonathan Kegg, a wealthy lawyer who was allowed to enter cases as amicus curiae, a friend of the court. He would enter the courtroom representing neither prosecution nor defense and would cross-examine witnesses in order to determine what really happened. He'd never take a fee and never had a client other than truth. While Gardner didn't write the scripts, it reflected his high ideals. In real life, he and some colleagues worked for The Court of Last Resort, which would come to the aid of people who they believed may have been wrongfully accused. They would use all of their resources to uncover injustices, and if they found new evidence to suggest innocence, they'd fight to clear the innocent. . Over four summers, A Life in Your Hands was an interesting, stimulating, and educational mystery program that's well worth listening to for radio fans today. The Casebook of Gregory Hood: The Casebook of Gregory Hood began as a summer replacement for Sherlock Holmes over Mutual written by Sherlock Holmes writers Denis Green and Anthony Boucher. When Sherlock Holmes didn't return, the series continued to air through the whole 1946-47 season and would return in 1948 with Elliot Lewis in the lead before moving to ABC and continuing to air episodes into the 1950s. The series followed the adventures of Gregory Hood, a suave San Francisco importer who also found himself often constantly involved in homicides. He's aided in his adventure by aide the more down-to-earth company attorney Sanderson Taylor. The Private Files of Rex Saunders: Rex Harrison was a popular actor in the 1950s (though he's most remembered for his work in the 1960s) and so NBC gave him his own radio series, as they did to many well-known stars during the first few years of the 1950s. In many ways, the series bore a strong similarity to the previous Bulldog Drummond series as Rex Saunders travels works with an assistant helping out damsels in distress. Rex Saunders even has the same foghorn opening. as Bulldog DrummondThe series lasted fourteen weeks and ended abruptly with the final episode announcing details of a fifteenth-week program that would never be aired. The strength of the series is Harrison's charisma and a few clever writing touches. Also featured in this feed are rare episodes featuring detective adventures with characters such as the Lone Wolf (Michael Lanyard) and A.J. Raffles as well as an audition for a series starring John Dehner as a crime-solving ex-judge. Adam Graham hosts these old time radio episodes and they were originally released as part of The Great Detectives of Old TIme Radio podcast. more

The British Hero Bulldog Drummond is a fictional character created by H. C. McNeile, as the hard boiled no nonsense-style detective. The stories followed Captain Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond, D.S.O., M.C., a wealthy former WWI officer of the Loamshire Regiment, who, after the war, spends his new-found leisure time as a private detective.Drummond is a proto-James Bond figure and was a muscular man with a group of followers who helped him in his adventures. They rounded up crooks and took them to a place only they knew and reformed them. Drummond and his men, the 'Black Gang', beat the be jabbers out of the men till they learned their lesson and renounced crime. Join us as we listen to the adventures of this British Detective. more

Barrie Craig was a different kind of detective show and Craig as played by William Gargan was a different type of detective: a big gentle easy going guy who always believed his clients until evidence proved otherwise. In some ways, it poked fun at the private detective genre by giving Craig police-type powers and duties such as making arrests and filling out paperwork. This played off the wide variety of functions and investigations that other PIs took on that were really police functions. Another time, Craig began his voice over narration by saying, 'Manhattan's my beat,' a clear reference to CBS' Broadway's My Beat . Other episodes took a serious turn such as Craig's poignant caper with a mentally ill young woman.Gargan's light and easygoing style make each episode of Barrie Craig is like a visit with an old friend talking about his detective adventures. Listeners were more than happy to visit for four years. Host Adam Graham brings you all surviving episodes of this classic series. Also in this feed are three episodes of Gargan's earlier detective series, I Deal in Crime from 1947. These episodes were presented from 2011-12 as part of The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio podcast. more

A new spin on the True Crime genre where we share a crime story pulled from the plot of a Hollywood Movie, change the names, occasionally pad out some details, and let the listeners try to figure out what movie is being described. The movie is then revealed and discussed in the following episode. more

Mystery is My Hobby came to air as Murder is My Hobby, a title with an amusing double meaning. However, after 34 weeks, the series gained a sponsor the Benefit Life Insurance Company of Omaha, Nebraska. They didn't like the name. So thus it was changed.The series starred Glenn Langan as Mystery Writer Barton Drake, who teams up each week with Inspector Noah Danton to solve the weekly puzzle. At the end of each episode, Drake is sure to work in his catchphrase, 'Murder/Mystery is My Hobby.' Beyond these basic facts, the series is an unsolved mystery. The episodes that circulate among fans are from the Syndicated series and all include the, 'Mystery is My Hobby' tag rather than 'Murder is My Hobby.' Various websites will give dates ranging from 1945-51 for the series' airing. However, newspaper logs from the Digital Deli confirm that Murder is My Hobby premiered in 1945 over the Mutual Network. Beyond that, we don't know how long the series aired or what order episodes aired in for syndication. Confusing this is information in the Radio Gold index logs which show that the show used the same episodes repeatedly in different syndication packages, so even though there's an episode #135, we don't know if there were 135 episodes made.This makes the series difficult to research and nearly impossible to date. However, the episodes are self-contained and lack continuity so they don't have to be listened to in any particular order. These episodes are hosted by Adam Graham and were originally released as part of the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio podcast. more

In 1939, Miami-based Private Detective Michael Shayne was first published in paperbacks by Davis Dresser (writing under the pseudonym Brett Halliday) and quickly became a sensational hard-boiled private eye who would appear in 77 novels and 300 short stories enduring from the 1930s through the 1970s. Shayne quickly made the leap to films with Lloyd Nolan playing Shayne in seven well-made B-movies between 1940 and 1942. There was another film series made in 1946-47 from the poverty row PRC films starring Hugh Beaumont. Shayne was also big over radio. The first series of Michael Shayne Adventures aired over the West Coast Mutual network as Michael Shayne Private Detective and starred Wally Maher as the lead. The series took its lead in many ways from the Nolan movies with a lighter touch. It officially had the Shayne character in Oakland rather than Miami. It featured well-characterized tales, solid mysteries, and great chemistry amongst the regular cast that was reminiscent of a later West Coast Mutual show Let George Do I t . The second radio series was The New Adventures of Michael Shayne , produced by Bill Rousseau and starring Jeff Chandler. In contrast to Mutual's series, The New Adventures was one of the most hard-boiled radio detective series produced during the golden age of radio and was set in the mysterious city of New Orleans. The series was syndicated from the mid-1940s and for decades afterwards. The final Michael Shayne radio series was The Adventures of Michael Shayne which aired from 1952-53 over ABC. It managed to have three different leads in its first fourteen weeks but had the virtue of being set in Miami. Michael Shayne made his way to television much later. In the late 1950s on an episode of the TV anthology series, Decision , Mark Stevens played the detective and the episode was repackaged as a pilot for a TV series that was never made. In 1960, the series was produced with former Mr. and Mrs. North star Richard Denning starring as the lead. It was a well-made detective series. Unfortunately, it aired in an era that was awash in great detective shows and it wasn't exactly faithful to the books, a fact that many Michael Shayne novels of the era poked fun at. In addition, Michael Shayne had a comic book tied into the TV show. Like many characters of the era, Michael Shayne went through a wide variety of iterations to please various audiences: from the tough private eye of the books and New Adventures series, to the lighter approach of Lloyd Nolan and Wally Maher, to the typical early 60s PI played by Denning, there are many different interpretations of the character. Yet, to those who know, the name of Michael Shayne is still remembered for quality detective fiction regardless of the iteration. Adam Graham hosts these old time radio episodes and they were originally released as part of The Great Detectives of Old TIme Radio podcast. more
