The Adventures of Ellery Queen

The World Series

von

Ellery Queen brings the celebrated fictional detective to radio, where he and his father, Inspector Richard Queen, take on mysteries that call for close attention to clues and careful reasoning. Ellery is both a brilliant amateur sleuth and a writer of detective stories, while his father brings the experience of a professional police investigator.

The program presents a self-contained mystery in dramatic radio form. Listeners follow the investigation through dialogue, sound, and the gradual disclosure of evidence, with Ellery inviting them to consider the clues before the solution is revealed. The title identifies this recording with “The World Series.”

The appeal lies in the classic puzzle-solving partnership between father and son: a measured investigation, competing possibilities, and the pleasure of testing one’s own deductions against Ellery’s. Its mystery-centered storytelling makes it a natural choice for listeners who enjoy traditional detective fiction brought to life through radio performance.
