A Joy
This is a near perfect podcast. It manages to be quick, informative, and always on point. The host doesn’t waste a word but manages to give listeners a reason to grow their TBR pile.
A must-listen to podcast for mystery lovers.
Entertaining reviews of classic golden age mysteries by someone who obviously loves the genre. My “must read” list has grown greatly because of this podcast.
Four star
I love this review of golden age mysteries. It’s so relaxing. I look forward to each new review. One question though have you ever reviewed any Mickey Spillane books?
