Two Coffins to Fill - John Dickson Carr - Murder by Experts

1 year ago
49

Murder By Experts, a radio mystery drama series ran on American radio from 1949-1951, and was hosted first by John Dickson Carr, and later by Brett Halliday.

Offering some of the best writing done for radio was David Kogan, the writer and creator of the show, who also did scripts on series like The Mysterious Traveler, Nick Carter, Master Detective and The Sealed Book as well as others. John Dickson Carr (November 30, 1906–February 27, 1977) was an American author of detective stories, who also published under the pen names Carter Dickson, Carr Dickson and Roger Fairbairn. The son of Wooda Nicholas Carr, a U.S. congressman from Pennsylvania, Carr graduated from The Hill School in Pottstown in 1925 and Haverford College in 1929.

Carr lived for a number of years in England beginning around 1930, as his career as a mystery writer began, and he married an English woman. Many of his novels had English settings, his best-known detective characters were English, and he is sometimes loosely grouped among "British-style" mystery writers. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of so-called "Golden Age" mysteries; complex, plot-driven stories in which the puzzle is paramount.
