Customer Reviews
Masterpiece of storytelling
An absolute masterpiece of storytelling. Like the narrator, I'm certain that I'll never forget John B. McLemore. I hope the maze has been saved to honor the genius behind it. If anything, I'll try to stay more cognizant of the fleeting time each of us has, and try earnestly to make more out of it.
Happened in real time
Some of the events happened in real time, and the mystery solving turned out to be a different story. It is poignant, and worth the time, in my opinion. The episodes are well edited and the characters come to life. I realize that one can argue for ever about what should have been, but it is still worth listening to, if you have the time.
Totally worth it
I tend to listen to podcasts/music in the background while doing deskwork for my gym. Yesterday I didn't get any work done, being so mesmerised by this story. It's in-depth, and full of unexpected twists and turns you can only experience in a non-fiction story.
