This American Life, did an episode with Davd Sedaris about detectives and detective stories This American Life broadcasts in 3 Acts. You may skip ahead to start of Act 2, as this is where Sedaris reads. The story is meant to be heard. You may stop listening after the David Sedaris story, I have linked the transcript so you can read the story here:
