Murder to Perfection

A woman discovers her sister's fiancé killed both her sister and his first wife. Now he plans to commit the perfect murder with her as his next victim.

A young woman is horrified to learn that her soon to be brother-in-law murdered her sister as well as his previous wife. He then proceeds to disclose his intention to act out the perfect murder, with her as the star of the show.

Nikki Carpenter, an imaginative clothes designer, vows that she’ll prove to Guy Weston, her fiancé’s brother, murdered her sister (his wife). Guy candidly admits murder was committed, but that he had tricked his wife, and others, into killing themselves. Now he says Nikki will be next—murdered by her own imagination—unless she stops her efforts to prove him guilty.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
