Fun and funny. Nice and twisty. Watson is utterly charming. The wait for new episodes to drop is a punish!
This is full of promise. Echoes of Mark’s novels in its writing style. If I could master the Discord app, I’d have a go at that. Yep! I’m in. Can’t wait for further episodes. (Just listened to Chapter 4…). 😀
I’m brand new to Mark Watson’s fiction - hot damn can this dude write (and perform, and cast, and connect strangers, and invent formats apparently)! I’ve found myself actively looking forward to Sunday morning 💖
It’s cozy. It’s charming. It’s fascinating. (And not at all grisly in the way some mystery pods can be).
Really enjoying this murder mystery podcast. It has a great cast and a truly puzzling crime. The unreliable narrator aspect makes sifting through the clues even more challenging. The added element of the audience potentially influencing the investigation is unusual and intriguing. Recommended for amateur and professional sleuths alike!
Really enjoying this murder mystery fun story - who dunnit? It’s well written, laugh out loud funny and I can’t wait to see how it unravels.
Two episodes in and really enjoying this audio novel in weekly instalments. Good fun playing “whose voice is that”, too.
So far the writing has me wanting to hear more. Lots of lovely atmosphere.
I really enjoyed the first episode and can’t wait to find out where the story goes. I’m a big fan of Mark’s writing so I’m confident this is going to be great. A lovely cosy winter murder mystery! Amazing
Really enjoyed episode 1, feeling impatient for the next episode already!
