ALICELTDIG ,

Just what was needed!

A little late to the party. I heard the first snippet on Rupaul’s What’s the tee?! Just what’s needed on long journeys to and from work! Love the drama! Definitely kept me entertained!!

Kimmi_N ,

A good listen!

Worth a listen! Kept me intrigued🙌🏼

Jimi the Blaze ,

Agatha Christie is is NOT

Would have put 0 stars if I was able to. Some of these actors should be ashamed to have their names attached to this. Listened to 2 eps to give it a chance and regret that hour of my life wasted.
