“Jamison is an excellent mystery writer that pays homage to the dramatic old radio plays of the forties and does them justice. I can almost hear the melodramatic organ music in the background.”

“I absolutely adored the interaction between Joseph (the author) and Peggy (the stenographer). Their conversations—especially her reactions—were priceless. I laughed out loud at points.”

“Very clever to have a story within a story…an author dictating his novel, with a twist at the end that I never could have seen coming. This was something fresh and new.”
