Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: The protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.

Hard to Hear
What would have made Suspense: Tales Well Calculated - Volume 2 better?
There is a lot of background noise and clutter, it is like trying to listen to a radio station that is just out of reach.
If you’ve listened to books by CBS Radio Network before, how does this one compare?
This is the first CBS Radio Network book that I have purchased and I do not think I would purchase another.
Would you listen to another book narrated by full cast?
Yes, the full cast was fine for this type of reading.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I was extremely disappointed. I used to listen to these stories on XM radio and they sounded clear and crisp,

Crazy old radio melodramas! They're great fun if you like this sort of thing. Even the ads are entertaining. Surprising number of top talent.
