About this listen

From the imaginative radio mind of writer/producer Jim French comes the tough-but-thoughtful private eye who roams the rain-swept streets of the Pacific Coast in search of crime, adventure, and enough dough to keep the office lights on for another month - Harry Nile!

It's modern radio drama produced in the classic style, with stories set in the golden age of private-eye drama. Phil Harper stars as Harry in high-powered, hard-luck radio adventures! The 21 episodes featured here include the last show of the character's 1970s run, and the first 20 episodes of his glorious return in 1990.

Episodes include: The Case of the Lisping Lover 06-13-1978; Favor for a Friend 12-16-1990; Black Widow 06-23-1991; Maybe There Is a Santa Claus 12-22-1991; Hair of the Dog 01-05-1992; S.L.O.B. 02-02-1992; The Case of the Fatal Fall 03-01-1992; The Case of the Puzzling Puzzle 04-05-1992; Blood Ties 06-07-1992; The Lady in the Green Hat 08-02-1992; It Pays to Advertise 09-06-1992; Mr. Fixer 10-11-1992; Floater 11-01-1992; Sob Sisters 11-29-1992; Sticky Fingers 12-20-1992; Unhappy Birthday 01-03-1993; The Trianon Kid 02-07-1993; Crime in a Bottle 04-04-1993; The Key 05-02-1993; The Case of the Hot Yacht 06-06-1993; The Case of the Exeter Audition 07-04-1993

Thanks!! Audible for offering a second collection

As someone who has been listening to audiobooks for almost 40 years. I was really happy that, Audible, offered a second collection of Jim French's, Harry Nile series. After listening to the first collection, Seattle Blues, I was instantly hooked and was praying that, Audible would offer a second collection. Phil Harper, playing Harry Nile, was second to none. The productions are excellent, and the stories are very entertaining.. No wonder, avid audiobook listeners, truly appreciate the genius of Jim French and the outstanding work that his team had produced. I hope, Audible, will offer more, Harry Nile collections in the future. Thanks!!

Detective Theater

Plots are good to great, execution, acting, same. It's the actual audio isn't consistent from one story to the next. Almost incoherent. This has happened in a number of Audio purchases

Just LOVE harry Nile!

I started with “Seattle Blues”. I liked this one much better, but the other was a very good introduction into his past. I am going to get the next in the series right away. The series is very addictive.

Great, as always

I never get tired of listening to Harry Nile. Jim French does an amazing job of writing these episodes and the cast always gives a great performance.

Later episodes are better acted

I’m a big fan of this genre and Jim French productions. There are over 300 episodes from about 1974-2020. Harry’s part is painfully overacted in much of this collection and some other parts are stiff or awkward. I think this got better in last half of 1990’s.
Audible has a few collections which I consider a bargain whereas the Jim French website has them all at high prices.

Don’t do it

Did not like this at all, and on top of that, I can’t exchange it! Might be my last purchase through Audible!!
