Our Summer Serial concludes with the shocking resolution to “The Thing That Cries in the Night” from I Love a Mystery! (Coming late to the series? Listen to Parts 1–3, Parts 4–6, Parts 7–9, and then Parts 10–12!) Jack claims to know who is responsible for terrorizing the Martin family, but he won’t reveal what he suspects until he has undeniable proof. Can you figure out the solution before the final episode? Is anyone actually listening when Jack speaks out loud to an empty room? How many of us have friends that can cry like babies (not including actual babies)? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:
