Suspense presents “The Abc Murders,” episode 8, originally broadcast May 1, 1943. This archival drama is a compressed radio adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The A.B.C. Murders, featuring Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester.
Mild, forgetful commercial traveler Alexander Bonaparte Cust draws uneasy attention with his A.B.C. initials and a familiar railway guide as a disturbing sequence of alphabetically arranged crimes grips England. The adaptation centers on Cust’s growing predicament rather than Christie’s Hercule Poirot.
Suspense presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
