Radio Mystery: A Deadly Holiday on the Hudson Act 1

Jacqui Just Chatters celebrates Christmas in July with a special vintage radio mystery drama. Alice is visiting her Uncle Richard and Aunt Edith’s estate in the Hudson River Valley for the holidays. Cousin Dorothy is up from St. Louis to celebrate with her parents. A stranger, Arthur, from England, is also in residence. Alice has planned a surprise for her strait-laced blue-blood family. Her New York City police detective boyfriend is joining the gang, which turns out helpful when someone gets murdered. After a snowstorm cuts them off, they must figure out who-dun-it. 

Listeners can join in the fun. Grab your deerstalker hat and magnifying glass and see if you can figure out who’s behind A Deadly Holiday on the Hudson before the reveal. 

Mysteries are more fun to solve as a group, so grab some friends and listen together.
