What Have You George?

I am a fan of The Murdoch Mysteries, both the show and the Books. This little series is a wonderful side piece of the show, mixing clips from the specific episode to Yannik's narration of Murdoch's personal thoughts is just marvelous. I hope there is more!

love it!

Was a little surprised, I was expecting a behind the scenes type podcast. It comes across as more of a series recap which is pretty cool too.

Entertaining

Being my first audio book I didn't truly appreciate it at first. However, after sampling some others, it is now one of my favorites. Yannick is a great narrator and I loved the sound effects and "reenactments". It gets rather philosophical but I suppose that is what you should expect from someone's diary. The first couple chapters were rather depressing but the adventure picked up after that. Overall, extremely entertaining and I would definitely recommend.
