Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.

I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. Some episodes are original stories, others will be classics that helped shape the mystery genre we know today. All are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes (unless it's really bad)

This is Season 5, Move It or Lose It. This season contains original stories paying homage to the vehicles that propel mysteries forward. A train was the setting for Agatha Christie’s famed Murder on the Orient Express. A river boat then took center stage on Death on the Nile. Cars have been prominently featured in American crime stories with the glory of the get-a-way vehicle. Then there are the heists from carriages to trains to armored trucks.

For Episode 13, the last episode in Season 5, kiddie train is the featured vehicle, you know, like the ones you can ride at a zoo. This is Detective Connolly Gets Wet ‘N Wild West by Jack Wolff

Welcome everyone, to the last episode of the season. A few things before we get going. First, in past seasons, we would take a break when we got to this point. Well not this year. We are going to roll right into Season 6. “Things that Go Jack in the Night” begins dropping original mysteries beginning July 14. From the small six pointed metal object used in a child’s game to the animals, vegetables, fruits, tools, weapons, and slang, the way the word jack is used in the English language is truly unique and inventive. And yes, it’s my co-creator and son’s name. For Season 6, the mysteries each incorporate a word with jack. Jackass. Jack-in-the-box. Jacking off. Jackalope. Jack-of-all-trades. Pepper Jack Cheese. Just to name a few. Join us for a season a of mysteries to die for.

For before that…there’s this. Jack’s story. Surprise #1, joining us in the living room is Kyra Jacobs. Kyra again gave us a helping hand and edited for Jack. And Surprise #2, Jack is going to read his story. So with that, I am going to turn into the audience.
