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.
