This is like a diary written of every little thing this person does, without any character development or plot to speak of. For someone so good on the radio, this is all just dead air.

Not really for me. I appreciated it, I followed it but it wasn’t exactly brimming with sumptuous plot. It was almost a little too smug in its delivery and slow in pace. Billed itself as a mystery, but I’m not sure the mystery was ever solved…..
