This book examines radio and mystery drama from about 1932 to the genre's final appearance in the late 1950's. While its focus is on women detectives, French provides minute and fascinating details about dozens of mystery programs and includes a comprehensive listing of source material ranging from magazine articles, to dime detective novels, to film noir. Each lady detective appearing under one of eight cleverly conceived categories gets handsome, multi-page treatment. The author traces the chronological appearance of the subject's show, examines the program's history and origins, and details with substantial documentation the manner of the show's presentation and production. He intersperses the text with actual dialogue taken directly from the program scripts. Winner of the Agatha Award!
レビュー
-
Amazing study on female viewpoint in radio.
-
Jack has assembled a compilation of stories, personalities, and memories from a time worth remembering. The mind's imagination can still hear the words.
-
I was expecting more detail about the female characters; many of these descriptions of the programs center around the male lead - with the female being a secondary topic. Many of the pages in the Kindle version do not appear properly, and some text is missing.
