Full cast audio production, I love multiple narrators all doing their own parts in full. I don’t need all the sound effects though, it feels a bit over stimulating. Plus I found it difficult to hear what the actors were actually saying due to the speed and lack of clarity of speech at times when things were frantic. I even tried reducing the speed it was easier for me at .9. The sound effects over the voices made it even harder for me to hear clearly what was being said. I found the Russian voices, don’t know how many there were, hard to distinguish from each other, the accents were a bit naff.  I also had problems identifying some of the male voices.  There were just too many characters. Interesting that Cosby has a small voice part as the homeless man ( the performance credits are at the end, there’s even more producers than voices!).  There are far too many characters. The whole story is dialogue based so it’s more of a play than a story I’m not keen on this format. 

Action packed funny at times down and dirty fast and furious, at times frenetic street thriller. Preach,Digit and Maria end up on a crime spree while on the run after they accidentally kill a man connected to the Russian mob while trying to hustle him. They are very much hapless criminals. 

I can’t say that I really enjoyed this, I was disappointed as I love S A Crosby’s writing style usually.
