Absolutely gripping!

Easily one of the best multicast audiobook dramas on Audible! A gripping story from start to end, performed brilliantly by an amazing cast, and excellent sound production. The story itself is not overly intricate, but the characters and unusual circumstances provide a rich and engaging experience. More like this please Audible!
