At a Renaissance Faire, everyone wears a costume… but one of them is hiding a crime.

When the gate money disappears at a bustling Renaissance Faire, Norwood and Cross are called in to investigate — paid, unfortunately, in poultry. The only clue? A glimpse of a knight’s helmet just before the attendant was knocked unconscious.

Between jousting egos, dented armor, jealous girlfriends, and a dragon puppet with anger issues, Nicole Norwood and Jason Cross must figure out which knight isn’t playing by the rules.

With sharp banter, medieval mischief, and a mystery worthy of the royal court, Trouble at the Faire proves that even in the age of knights and queens, crime is still very modern.

A robbery, three knights, and one very suspicious flash of silver.

It was ruled an accident. Nicole Norwood didn’t buy it for a second.

When a councilman’s wife is found dead in her bathtub, the official story is simple: a tragic household mishap. Case closed. But with the press circling and his career on the line, the councilman hires Norwood and Cross to take a second look.

As Nicole Norwood and Jason Cross revisit the scene, small details begin to buzz louder than the bathroom lights: an unlocked door, a barking dog, and a setup that feels just a little too neat. What should have been a freak accident starts to look carefully staged—and dangerously personal.

With classic noir instincts, sharp banter, and unresolved marital tension, Norwood and Cross uncover a crime fueled by jealousy, opportunity, and one shockingly simple method. In A Shocking Accident, nothing is accidental… and someone definitely knew the power was on.

Some puzzles are unsolvable. This one was deadly.

When crossword puzzle mastermind Harold Aston is found dead in his locked study — shot in the back of the head with a million-dollar contest on the line — Norwood and Cross are called in to solve the only puzzle that really matters.

Aston had claimed he’d written a crossword so impossible that no one could solve it, allowing him to legally keep the contest’s million-dollar prize for himself. But before the world could test his boast, someone decided to end his game early.

As Nicole Norwood and Jason Cross dig through clues, suspects, and a suspicious number of reference books, they discover that ambition has sharp edges, clever people lie beautifully, and some puzzles are more dangerous than they look. With classic noir style, modern wit, and just enough bite, this episode delivers mystery, banter, and a murder that refuses to stay neatly in the margins.

Divorced. Detectives. Disaster waiting to happen.

Norwood and Cross, P.I. is a character-driven audio drama blending mystery, comedy, and classic noir vibes. Nicole Norwood and Jason Cross—once married, now professionally entangled—run a private investigation agency where the crimes are strange, the clients are shady, and the personal tension is thicker than Jason’s terrible office coffee.

Episode 1, It’s In the Bag, is a classic whodunnit set inside a local jewelry store, where something valuable has gone missing, suspects are in short supply, and the biggest clue may be hiding in plain sight—if Jason can stop thinking about lunch long enough to notice.

Created, written, and produced by Jody Lebel, the series showcases a talented cast of voice actors and original sound design. It’s clever, quirky, and just serious enough to keep you guessing.
