Customer Reviews
Mystery Podcast
Previous version had a very good format, no spoilers, interesting details and a right sized time for the review, well done. A few minor technical issues but not a big deal. Glad to see a reboot of this topic and podcaster.
New season after a break, keep it going! I get tips to check out new writers and the summaries are great by a writer and reviewer. That is a great combo to learn about mysteries.
New reads thank God
I love I get to discover books I never would have picked up prior to this podcast. From the books time forgot to the more current and popular books this podcast gets you hungry for reading.
Great way to find new authors
This is a great way to find new authors. I like the format and length. You have a very pleasant voice. It’s distracting to have the music playing and you speaking at the same time, be more pleasant when speaking not have music or lower volume of music. I don’t think you need to review the first book in a series because often a later book is better written than the first.
