I Love a Mystery

Radio Drama and Broadcast Landmarks

I Love a Mystery is an American radio adventure serial created by writer Carlton E. Morse, premiering in 1939, following the operators of the fictional A-1 Detective Agency, Jack, Doc and Reggie, through a continuing series of atmospheric and often macabre cases that regularly took the trio to exotic and dangerous settings around the world. The serial was built on sustained, cliffhanger-driven storylines rather than the single-episode cases typical of many detective programs, with atmospheric sound effects used heavily to build tension across each chapter. I Love a Mystery is regarded by broadcast historians as one of the most atmospheric and tightly serialized adventure dramas of American radio's golden age.
