Thoroughly enjoyed this one. The story was gripping, disturbing and very well written. The acting and overall production was great. The story kept me hooked. Highly recommended if you like your (kind of) ghost stories on the murder mystery side

You know when something starts good then turns real boring real quick? Then you want to keep going just to see how they could possibly end it? Yep - this is that. Main characters were so annoying, you can hear yourself yelling at them "why are you doing that!?" Overall a very frustrating and boring listen.

Great performance

Fantastic performance and production. Unfortunately the story just makes me feel sordid and bleak. There's nothing redeeming in it at all.
