Hi, Greg Taylor here for Decoder Ring Theatre.

This week's release is something I know you'll like,

but I'd just like to explain myself a bit before you listen.

When I was trying to shop the first Abigail Branigan book to publishers,

there was a thought that they might be excited

if there were some short, full-cast, audio drama stories,

some mini-mysterories to help build interest.

Well, if they were excited, they did a heck of a job of hiding it, and we only ever made the one.

But everyone seemed to enjoy Abigail Branning and Investigates so much, and I know you like

audio drama, so I thought you should have it.

Clarissa Dunedalanderlandon plays Abigail, of course,

and you will also hear Brian Vaughn as Timothy and Ryan Serro guest stars.

So here, for your dining and dancing pleasure,

is the case of the Beachnut Street Standoff.

Decoder Ring Theater presents the further adventures of that summertime Seamus,

that Miss of Mystery, the defender of law and order for the middle school set,

the secret case files of Abigail Brennigan.

Today's Abigail Brennigan mini-mystory is the case of the Beech Nut Street standoff.

The name is Brannigan. Abigail Brannigan. I'm a detective, which means I help people. But I'm the private kind, which means I say who and when and how.

I've been in the business for a while now, nearly two weeks, and it has been suggested that it might be time to put my case files in order.

See, everybody in the neighborhood has heard about my first case. And yes, that is

a frame newspaper clipping on my desk aren't you sweet to have noticed. But a lot of the problems
