My name is Katherine Routledge. In 1914, I sailed from England to Easter Island, in the distant South Pacific, famous for its huge, stone statues. This is the story of a journey, and it is the story of a place. One that feels as near to me now as ever, even though I could hardly be farther away. This is The Mystery of Easter Island. Audio drama from Footsteps Media LLC.

Customer Reviews
Bingeworthy Historical Fiction Featuring a real life Lara Croft
The writing, voice talent, sound effects, and music are superb! I really was drawn in and can’t wait to see how the story ends! This work is as top notch of any BBC or PRI produced radio drama or audio play and harkens back to a golden age of radio with a story and characters more relevant to today. Easter Island’s main character, Kathryn Rutledge, is a strong female protagonist that everyone, not just Feminists, should be familiar with and whose inspiring and amazing story from the early 1900s is given the careful attention with thoughtful imagining of what gaps there may be. Anyone who loves strong women should listen!
Love this story
