Summary

I know all about being afraid of the dark. Like my uncle, in my thirties I found my way into my own dark forest, face-to-face with the big bad wolf. He was so close to me the whole time, I could taste the blood on his breath. Meeting him felt like a fairytale. In fact, I met him at a bar called the Wolf's Lair. - Blackout, a podcast by Georgia Sansom

A sensational trial for an historic serial murder. A podcast that shines a light on how a city became afraid of the dark. A missing woman with a trail of secrets. A top lawyer famous for defending notorious criminals. A retired homicide cop hunting for the truth.

Intriguing and distinctive, this taut novella in three interweaving narratives will have you listening with the lights on.

Pretty good

Good story, but wasn't very engaging. Joel, Tracy and Georgia could do with more backstory. Well narrated.

Great narration but a bit all over the place

I enjoyed this and would recommend it, however it did feel a bit chaotic. The performances were good and it was more or less easy to follow, albeit a little trite perhaps.
