12 Stories that are perfect for a drive
Each story is 27 minutes long, so it is the perfect length of time for me to listen to 1 story per drive to work/home. They were all pretty good, Story 2 “Swan Song” being my favorite. Not every story is a complete mystery to be solved like you may believe. Sometimes you simply watch it unfold and the last few minutes are where everything pays off. So not every story is something to solve like a traditional detective story, just so you know. I really recommend this collection to any fans of audio dramas. The production quality is amazing, from the acting to the sound effects to the music. Very worth the money for the sheer amount of content. The story “The Dressmaker’s Doll” (which I believe is story 8), is horror-esqe, not quite all the way, and no jump scares either so no need to worry!
