Who Killed the Fonz? By James Boice *Patron’s Choice* - Episode 217

This week, Paris turns up the Perturbator records, dons some aviators and a trenchcoat, and heads out into the rainy nights of 1980s Milwaukee to help our Patron Fred.

Fred wrote to us saying, “...the sheer notion of a murder mystery with Happy Days characters that is apparently officially sanctioned by whoever owns the rights is enough to give me pause. I can’t even find any information about why th[is] book was made and I just end up asking myself, “Who is this for?” because while I don’t doubt that Happy Days still has a large fan base, I don’t think many people would want to read a book about how one of the best characters on the show gets murdered.”

We hope you enjoy this episode, Fred! Thank you so much for supporting TBC.

Today’s episode includes our usual barnyard language in addition to infidelity, kidnapping, murder, and one brief moment of drug use.
