Engrossing

Thoroughly enjoyed each story. All in all each chapter flowed really nicely yet kept the strories interesting by being different. Loved the occasional reference to modern technology.

Interesting episode synopses

Felt as if I was watching the TV Series. If you haven't seen the series this is a good lead in as it is read by the actors who appear in the series

Disjointed

The premise of the story is good and the performance excellent. The way the story is told is disjointed and you never really feel a sense of narrative. Perhaps if it was put into chronological order that would be better.

Spoilers!

I've only just started watching Detective Murdoch. I'm in Season 2. And in the first 3 minutes of this I heard some massive spoilers about character arcs. A little context about WHEN to listen to it would have been helpful. As for the stories themselves - no idea - I had to stop listening.
