Audio drama peeps should check this one out - I know you love a good gothic mystery!

Thanks!

The Greatest Matter #audiodrama is "a spine-tingling murder mystery set in Victorian-era Dublin, certain to appeal to fans of Vienna Blood, Penny Dreadful or Sherlock.". I'll take that! Chuffed to appear in today's Irish Independent!

My latest binge listen was a little gem of a story from @headstuff.bsky.social - #TheGreatestMatter - Gruesome murders, cover-ups and opposing parties, set in 1890’s Dublin, with interesting characters and some wonderful story telling. Give it a try.💜
