Murder by Experts was a thrilling radio show that aired on Mutual and captivated audiences with its crime and mystery content. The highly regarded program was the brainchild of Robert Arthur and David Kogan, creators of The Mysterious Traveler, and featured stories by distinguished writers of the time. Each episode would begin with an introduction by a host, such as John Dickson Carr or Brett Halliday, who would announce the story's title, author, and guest expert. The show was highly successful, winning the prestigious Edgar Award for best radio drama in 1950.

The show aired from June 1949 through December 1951, with a total of 130 episodes broadcast. Noteworthy actors who appeared on the program included Lawson Zerbe, Ann Shepherd, Santos Ortega, Ralph Bell, and William Zuckert. Murder by Experts showcased the talents of top mystery writers like Carr, Halliday, Craig Rice, Bruno Fisher, and Lawrence Blochman, who all used their expertise to select the stories for each episode. Host John Dickson Carr was best known for his intricate plot twists and sensational writing style, while Davis Dresser, who worked under the pen name Brett Halliday, was the author behind the popular private detective Michael Shayne. Despite the show's reliance on expert writing rather than well-known talent, Murder by Experts remains an essential addition to any mystery collection.
