OTRR Casebook Gregory Hood Singles


(5 étoiles; 2 critiques)

The Casebook of Gregory Hood is a captivating detective series that emerged as a summer replacement for radio’s The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in 1946. Created by writers Denis Green and Anthony Boucher, the show features Gregory Hood, an antiques expert who finds himself embroiled in crime while searching for artifacts for his import house. This unique character was loosely inspired by real-life importer Richard Gump, who even consulted on the program.

What sets Gregory Hood apart from other detective series of its time is its incorporation of real people, places, and landmarks into its episodes. Cities would even invite the writers to create episodes about them, adding an authentic touch to the storytelling. Enjoy sampling these intriguing episodes from the series!
