Excellent writing

I loved the way the story was acted out. The author skillfully uses interviews to tell the story, allowing listeners to piece together the characters’ histories and their relationships with the killer and each other. I really enjoyed listening.

Hard to follow

The acting and production values were excellent. However, there were so many characters and time changes that it was difficult to follow. For that reason, the final reveal fell flat for me. I listen to many “who dunnit” types of mysteries, and very rarely have this problem.

Outstanding voice acting

Great story, but more importantly the voice acting is second to none. The whole time you feel like you are listening to real people's interviews, not actors. Atmospheric, dark, and very good.

Haunting twists

The author has constructed a gripping and haunting story with just the right pacing and a number of interesting twists that elevates the story and makes the fictional account as gripping as if it were true. Voice acting was superb and totally engrossing.

Takes a bit to get into

This was a very uniquely written story that is constructed as a series of interviews versus a standard story line. Once you adjust to that, it is very compelling. Plus the performances are outstanding.
