Mysteries to Die For

S9E1: Phidias Quinn and the Butterfly's Wing


Listen Later

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. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.

In the world’s most dangerous working environments it can seem like everything is out to kill you. The equipment you use. The materials you work with. The very air you breathe. Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.

This is Episode 1, where chemicals is our STCKY means of death. This is Phidias Quinn and the Butterfly’s Wing by Erica Obey

DELIBERATION

Phidias Quinn has more than the Watchers to worry about with someone suffocating Hank. He needs our help to solve Hank’s murder so he can get back to the butterflies. Here are the people in the Crystal Cave of the Watchers in the order we met them:

  1. Eunice / Crystal Barre, the hot, wannabe starlet
  2. Professor Theobold / Artie Mills, who keeps losing his lines
  3. Lady Cartwright / Delores del Marimba, Hank’s almost ex-wife
  4. Peg, the workaholic script girl and Mel’s secret weapon
  5. Mel Moskowitz, B-movie director extraordinaire
  6. Dr. Mylo E. Christos, supposed entomologist
  7. Angry father / Mike Howe, guy who found the body

ABOUT Erica Obey

There are three places you can find Erica Obey when she isn’t writing: Pottering in her garden; out on the trail, looking for birds; or taking Trivia Night far too seriously at a local establishment. She is the author of The Brooklyn North Murder, the first full-length Watson & Doyle mystery, as well as five other novels set in the Hudson Valley, including the award-winning The Curse of the Braddock Brides. Erica is the Past President of the MWA-NY chapter, and a frequent reviewer and judge. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and published academic work on female folklorists before she decided she’d rather be writing the stories herself.
