Love the script

I loved the actors interpretation throughout. The story was quite interesting. Thought the ending a bit silly.

Brilliant

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

A spooky murder mystery

Set in England at the end of the 1890s a young woman heads to London to identify her deceased father and enters a world xhe never dreamed existed.
The actors were truly believable and I enjoyed this story

Nothing redeeming about the story

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

Started off promising, sub par ending

This was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable, right up until it wasn't. The production and voice actors were excellent and did an exceptional job. Really enjoyed the story, until the end, which was very lacklaster. It felt like the author ran out of time and just had to wrap things up. I really wanted to rate the story higher because it showed excellent promise. Just too bad about the end.

Excellent!

Wow I didn’t know what to expect and I’ve never listened to this kind of thing before, it reminds me of the radio plays my mum used to listen to as a kid. It was done really well and was incredibly enjoyable.

Slow start

It was a slow start but got better as it went along. A bit strange
