About this listen

Tonight, Osmond Box, the reclusive yet wildly successful writer/director known for his completely surprising Broadway plays, is debuting his seventh and most highly anticipated production of his career: The Guilty. Nothing is known about the story, the setting, the premise, or even the actors involved. The first people to discover the truth will be the lucky ones sitting in those seats opening night. Phones are collected; doors are locked. The rest of the world eagerly awaits the first reviews....

Two hours later, when the doors are finally allowed to open, half of the audience will be applauding wildly. The other half will be fleeing the theater in mortal terror. Has Osmond Box done it again? Or has he done something far, far worse?

Please note: Portions of this show contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Decent story for a short listen

Peter Gallagher's acting is amazing as always. Sadly an obvious choice led me to pick the twist halfway through but still enjoyed it. A good and original Who Dunnit?

Story was lacking

Performance excellence yet I felt the story was not holding my attention at all could have been better. Maybe that’s just my taste.

Great listen

I really enjoyed listening to this. It was fun, brilliantly performed and I was interested in the ending. It wasn't a brilliant twist - definitely been done before - but I enjoyed the performance enough to keep listening and I'll probably listen again!

Excellent story well written suspense

I love James Patterson’s style of writing ✍️ there are so many twists and turns and the suspense feels so real my spidey sensors were tingling.
The narration was excellent; I love these ‘group actor performances’. I even recognise some of their voices it gives you a strange connection is about the only way I can describe it.
