Try’s hard…and fails.

Can only judge on the first episode as there is no way I’m investing any more time into this. The b-grade acting voice overs do absolutely nothing to engage listeners, the story is lost in made-up side comments and the constant intersections add nothing just distraction. Don’t waste your time.

Fabulous

I read the original book and although the story is a bit different I'm really enjoying it.
Special mention for April Rose Pengilly, her acting stands out. ⭐️

Good Story, voice overs poor

Really enjoyed the story line, took a bit to get over the voice overs though
