An Amazing Hook

Loved the story and the characters, the only problem was that the accused could have spoken a few times more. Would have added more value to the story.

worth the time, felt slightly dragged out tho

Great performance by the voice artists.
Worth the time spent on this, could have been slightly shorter.

Excellent & hoping for more

The story pacing is perfect & character development good. The voice acting of all the characters were also really good. My only complaint is that I feel like there should have been at least one more episode to wrap it up. Maybe more to come since it’s a podcast? Or a second season? I hope so!

Really enjoyable murder mystery

Wonderful actors, lovely voices, will there be a season 2? And will it be a new story or are we going after the good doctor!

Left Me Wanting More

This was so exciting! Such a good story. Excellent writing and acting. It left me wanting at least two more episodes to wrap up this story. Please create an entire series.

Great story, but seems unfinished

I really enjoyed the story but it seems to be missing the final episode! I would have given it 5 stars if they had a final episode that tied up everything and explained the motive of the killer (as well as definitively identifying the killer). Hopefully they have more episodes that will be posted SOON! As it stands, the entire thing seems unfinished which is unfortunate.

Please tell me there’s a Season 2

Smart tight story with characters that are fallible. Ends with n a cliffhanger, so hoping more to come!

Exciting story with a good plot twist

Exciting story with a good plot twist. The sound of the cassette tapes was a good way to denote between present and past scenes. Thoroughly enjoyed this story, and I could not wait to hear what happened in each next episode.

Writers lost the plot

Unfortunately this didn’t live up to expectations. I think the writer was so enthused by their clever device for telling the story that they took their eye of the ball regarding the story. Not a single character was likeable or sympathetic and it’s so important to ‘care’ about someone in the narrative. There were gaping holes in the story and absolutely zero motive. Overall a disappointment.

Play. Binge. Listen.

Tense, moody and claustrophobic thriller that takes place in the interview room of a Police station. The events are revealed in a collection of audio tapes, and of course there are twists. The actors are all excellent. Great binge listen, highly recommended.

Will definitely look out for more titles from OfSpin Media.

Great fun!

Super story. Beautifully performed. Loved the unspoken messages. Witty. “This is your final, last, last chance”. Good whodunnit.
