Podcast Addict52 months agoJayme0227- Very satisfying listen
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. It’s so much more than a murder mystery. The Hugh + Callum love story is delightful and every character, even the walk-ons, are so well drawn with fascinating stories of their own. Have just spent a very enjoyable Easter weekend listening to up to Ep 15 and can’t wait for the next one to drop. Well done Mark! This is a mini masterpiece.

Apple Podcasts5Argonaut1975United Kingdom4 months ago Absolutely engrossing. You are quickly submerged into a world that initially seems odd, and yet regularly allows you to take a breath with more realistically mundane aspects of life. Thoroughly addictive. Can't believe I'm so hooked!
