About this listen

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.

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.

Great narration but a bit all over the place

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

Pretty good
