There are other reviews that gripe about political messages and the bad guys hating black people... In this story, set in the 1930s, where the bad guys are literally nazis... These reviewers are idiots.

The main perspective in the narrative is a reporter woman, but written as a fast-talking sassy spitfire type of the time. Which some may find grating, but I think only fed into the atmosphere of this story. We love the Lobster partially for his mysteriousness. It makes sense that he wouldn't be 100% of the focus.

Yes, the story is very similar to The Satan Factory, another Lobster Johnson novel. But, this radio drama presentation is a nice little atmospheric novella that is wholly enjoyable and fun. Not too long, not too short.

My only complaint is the sound editing in a scene where characters talk to each other through an adjoining wall. The voices were mixed a little too quiet. A petty complaint.

Overall, it was decent. A fun pulpy radio drama in five parts. A nice addition to Lobster Johnson related media.

Not a great performer, production did not help.

The performer would drop to a whisper, and then yell loud, and then back down to a midtone. Audio production seemingly did nothing to enhance or subdue these peaks and valleys. Turn up the volume to hear what is being mumbled, only to get blasted in the ear drums a moment later. Also every character sounded like an old British man, not much characterizations with some really dynamic characters. Decent story, but not at all impressed by this audio version.

Disappointed with this one after so many glowing reviews. A lot of people seem to enjoy it, but unfortunately I'm not one of those people. Maybe it's because I've never read the physical copy and this is my first introduction to the series. But in my experience with this audio version I'll echo what others have said; I don't know if it was the production, voice acting, or direction, but the overall impression was lack luster and I couldn't get into a story that on paper, no pun intended, should have been right up my alley. Pass on this version.
