“It’s compelling and engrossing. Martine Powers moves from conversational to hard journalism reporting and back, in such an incredibly engaging manner. Between she, her partner Ted, her mother Francine, & her dad scraping the jar, the uncovering of evidence is all-consuming. A period of...”Read full review »

“What can I say, Martine is a great journalist, I enjoy following this path with her and learning about places not often considered. It could be improved in terms of audio production (see TAL or Serial season 1), but that is really a matter of taste.”

But it is also a heartfelt portrait of the events of a horrifying day as a revolution turned upon itself, about the people —...”Read full review »
