I Love a Mystery

I Love A Mystery weaves a spell over its fans. It is a tale of three partners, Jack Packard, Doc Long and Reggie Yorke who formed the A-1 detective agency. They are adventurers who travel the world in search of action, thrills and mystery, battling the evils of natural and supernatural and rescuing women in distress.

But it's I Love A Mystery which is considered by many radio fans and collectors to be the greatest radio adventure serial of all time - newspapers even had adverts running which read
