Publisher's Summary

Tonight, Osmond Box, the reclusive yet wildly successful writer/director known for his completely surprising Broadway plays, is debuting his seventh and most highly anticipated production of his career: The Guilty. Nothing is known about the story, the setting, the premise, or even the actors involved. The first people to discover the truth will be the lucky ones sitting in those seats opening night. Phones are collected; doors are locked. The rest of the world eagerly awaits the first reviews....  

Two hours later, when the doors are finally allowed to open, half of the audience will be applauding wildly. The other half will be fleeing the theater in mortal terror. Has Osmond Box done it again? Or has he done something far, far worse?  

Please note: Portions of this show contain mature language and themes. Listener discretion is advised.

Fun listen

This was a fun listen but it did get a little confusing at the end.

Excellent voice acting, terrible story

The actors were fun to listen to, but the story itself was terrible. The fact that one actor played two characters was a huge spoiler, and while the actor tried to have two different voices, his voice itself is so iconic that it was obvious he was playing both characters!

glad it was free, wouldn't have bought it

it was a so so book, I would have returned it if I bought it. I found that the main character Osmond Box got pretty annoying to listen too

Nice plot twist

pretty good, well performed, a little long, but a lot of twists to keep it interesting right to the end.

Brilliant!

A wild romp of a murder mystery that leaves you guessing until the end…and even then, you’re left guessing a little longer. Tons of fun.
