I wonder if any of the Ellery Queen radio plays will ever be published! Or if any more have been discovered since the publication of this book, which might have been almost twenty years ago. Surely in all that time a few might have been discovered in a crate, trunk, or archive. I would love to have whole book of them published, as we Ellery Queen fans haven't had anything substantial to chow down on since the publication of the TRAGEDY OF ERRORS outline a few years back. THE SOUND OF DETECTION is such a great book, makes you hungry to hear some of the scripts being acted out by the great character actors of the radio. It's literally haunting. I love the way the actress who played Nikki Porter got married to the producer of the show, Zachary, and then found her parts getting bigger and bigger--a la Irving Thalberg and Norma Shearer. And the cannibalization of Dannay and Lee, always feeding back on the prior products of their mind, is almost painful to read about.
Wonderful Scholarship!

Martin Grams once again demonstrates that he is one of our leading scholars of vintage radio drama. The Sound of Detection is THE total source-book on all-things radio related to Ellery Queen. If you are a mystery fan, an old time radio fan, or just interested in how a literary propety transfers into another medium, this is the book for you. Bravo, Mr. Grams!

The booki is full of information and great reading experience. I give it only 4 stars because of the lack of photos to make this volume even better. BUY IT!
