It can't be easy to expand a 20-min short story into a four-hour mystery, and kudos to the creators for the care they took in expanding this story - I love so much of what they added - but this is a poorly done mystery and an even poorer attempt at horror/suspense. If you're paying really close attention, you're going to discover the identity of the murderer by the end of the second episode - and if you not paying attention at all, it's gonna be glaringly obvious by the end of episode 3. The whole time, you're hoping his jealous-girlfriend/suspicious-wife will uncover the truth, but no, nobody knows the truth but you and it's painful. I don't know if I've even encountered sound design that was this insistent that you notice it... I don't know who designed this show, but they clearly got a free whooshes/rises sample pack for Black Friday and just ran with it.

Like every Stephen King movie or adaptation find myself disappointed. Predictable and boring audio thriller. Strange one from I heart radio as they are normally reliably at putting out great podcasts.

-Fictional short crime story, conclusive (but not the most satisfying) ending -8 episodes 30-40 minuets each -Impressive sound design (more than just people siting around taking, lots of action) -one ad break per episode -good voice acting with a clunky script -I haven't read much Stephen King but it certainly has his style Contains: murder (stabbing and dismemberment), descriptions of crime scenes, car crashes, familial abuse, auditory hallucinations, mentions of racism and PTSD
