My fellow Golden Age of Detective Mysteries afficionado Mike Tooney has written an excellent review and summary of The Dead Sleep Lightly, a terrific collection of radio mystery scripts by the great detective story writer John Dickson Carr. Carr was the master of the "impossible crime," the murder that seems as if it cannot have been committed by a human being, and his narratives usually had a appeallingly creepy atmosphere and strong intimations of the preternatural. The Dead Sleep Lightly is out of print, but copies are available in used bookstores and through online search engines. It is well worth seeking out. With Mike’s kind permission, I am reprinting his review here for your enjoyment and edification:
