Truly terrific

I usually don’t like the full cast and sound effect enhancing, but this was well done. Lithgow makes everything better. Enjoy

Binding and surprising and fun

It's a great way to spend an afternoon or spend a drive. The performances are entertaining and enjoyable to recognize. The story is easy to follow and yet intriguing without losing the listener.

Fabulous

Love listening to a play with so many amazingly talented people. The perfect vehicle for John Lithgow, he is a joy in this fast paced bit of hilarity.

Moved a little slow

It moved a bit slower than most by this author. Frankly, I only stuck with it because I love James Patterson…
