I loved this

Huge podcast listener and this was one of the best for me... really enjoyed reading the book afterwards.

Small life listener ,

Worth waiting for

Really enjoyed the snapshots of life that surrounded the central story. I like wondering what happened but was disappointed that (according to the author) there genuinely weren’t any clues in the episodes. I liked so many character profiles. Perhaps someone else will tie all the ‘ends’ up in a future series?

CLHS ,

What?

What story? No resolution whatsoever and bizarre tangents that only serve to compound the lack of direction.

Beautifully read by some talented actors but they can’t save this.

Wish I hadn’t bothered with all 15 episodes.
