I Love a Mystery
Adventure drama serial follows Jack Packard, Doc Long, and Reggie York through global cases and supernatural plots.
I Love a Mystery is an American radio drama series that aired 1939–44 and 1949–52, and was written and directed by Carlton E. Morse, about three friends who ran a detective agency and traveled the world in search of adventure. The adventure-mystery series stood in stark contrast to Morse's other major radio success, the drama series One Man's Family.
