Subject:  Re: THREE INVESTIGATORS

If the audios you have are about the adventures of three teenage
boys--amateur detectives/adventuers:

They could well be based on a popular series of juvenile fiction novels
that I think began in the '60s, or late, '50s, called:

ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS THE THREE INVESTIGATORS

Or, ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS

Each book cover featured a "cameo" somewhere by Hitchcock in the
painting, but as I recall, he had absolutely nothing to do with the
myteries.  The series must have been launched to capitalize on the
immense success/name of Hitchcock's TV series, but new titles lasted at
least through the '70s, when I first encountered them, in grade school.

I remember the novels as being immensely entertaining!
