Pink Camellias

Originally Aired: December 27, 1945 In Suspense #173, “Pink Camellias,” dutiful niece Martha tends her tyrannical Aunt Abby and falls for smooth-talking cousin Neil—then coolly decides murder is the only path to freedom. Arsenic, teacakes, and greenhouse strawberries become instruments of fate as Martha outmaneuvers Neil and the household…until a final, chilling realization turns her triumph into doom. A sleek, lethal character study with a sting in its tail.   Cast: Marsha Hunt Tags: Suspense, thriller, psychological, poison, murder, MarshaHunt, pinkcamellias, oldtimeradio, mystery, femmehorror, arsenic, gothic, vintagecrime, 1940sradio, classicdrama, radioanthology
