This book examines radio and mystery drama from about 1932 to the genre's final appearance in the late 1950's. While its focus is on women detectives, French provides minute and fascinating details about dozens of mystery programs and includes a comprehensive listing of source material ranging from magazine articles, to dime detective novels, to film noir. Each lady detective appearing under one of eight cleverly conceived categories gets handsome, multi-page treatment. The author traces the chronological appearance of the subject's show, examines the program's history and origins, and details with substantial documentation the manner of the show's presentation and production. He intersperses the text with actual dialogue taken directly from the program scripts.

Private Eyelashes: Radio's Lady Detectives
Using the female characters in detective series that were aired or meant to be aired on radio, the author provides brief entertainment bios of several radio actors, both male and female. Some of these characters appeared in dime novels and serializations before becoming radio characters. Thus it is also somewhat literary criticism. While the author alludes to chapter numbers in his text, none of the chapters are numbered. As he relates the history of these radio shows the author reminds us of how much has been lost in the way of historical documentation.
