Husband and wife detective teams are one of mystery radio’s favorite formats after the private eye’s of the Hardboiled school. The foibles of marriage can be entertaining enough, but throw in a juicy murder or two and you may not have domestic bliss, but listeners will tune in every week!
Adapted from the novels of Frances Crane, The Adventures of the Abbots had enough light hearted banter to go with the drama that it was as much a comedy as a mystery.
based on characters created by Frances Crane which appeared in her novels from the 1940s to the 1960s, and like The Thin Man, and Mr & Mrs North, where the wife helps her husband solve cases. Charles Webster (1945, 1947), Les Tremayne (1946)and Les Damon (1954-1955) played San Francisco Private Detective Pat Abbott. His wife Jean was played by Julie Stevens (1945, 1947), Alice Reinheart (1946) and Claudia Morgan (1954-1955). Abbott Mysteries was broadcast by Mutual from 1945 to 1947, and The Adventures of the Abbotts was broadcast by Mutual from 1954 to 1955 Click here to read more about Adventures Of The Abbotts
