Loved this!  The plot was really well done and while I definitely guessed who was the murderer was before it was revealed it wasn't completely obvious.

This has me hooked from the start - the pacing of this mystery was great. I really enjoyed our main characters, Lucas and Regan, and the perspectives they brought to the podcast/cold case investigation. The twists were good and I think it all tied together very nice!

This was fine. I kind of guessed everything, but I liked the concept and the characters. I wish the podcast was a bigger element.
