I really enjoyed this one. It speaks to a time when artist and bohemian types were regarded with interest rather than general condescension by the era’s popular culture. Many Suspense episodes are actually more stressful than I enjoy but this one was refreshingly different in how it evoked consideration from the listener, rather than pandering to an audience conditioned to be entertained. Thanks, MORLS!
Thanks for sharing the episode I recommended. I enjoyed hearing your commentary.
It was boring and lazy. It wasn’t well crafted. It is much easier to write a story without a ending, then it is to write one that hangs together. No work on fleshing out any motivations for the other characters. Also, the 100 count just falls flat. It should have stopped at 50 or 60.
A much better story would have left clues for the butler to give himself away. It doesn’t have to be spelled out. The whole ‘non solution’ idea is really navel gazing excuses for lazy writing.
