Thanks for the recommendation. We like to listen to podcasts on road trips.

thanks!! on the list!!

Your welcome! I guess it's longer than 8 episodes because at the end of number 8 they said something about next weeks podcast. So I really don't know how many episodes there are, but they are each short.

another good one: Caliphate. excellent!! its on "the daily" nytimes podcast

Thanks I've added it to my podcasts...always looking for material to listen to when I walk.

I had some driving and other spare time yesterday. I was enjoying the story very much (though I thought the music/sound effects were awful, especially the many too overbearing low frequency bass parts) and was looking forward to getting to episode 8, "Case Closed". Well, I did, only to learn that Case Closed meant something other than what I expected and the story continues. Now I'm sucked in to the dribble out of weekly episodes. Torture. DARN! I hope #10 is the end.

Thanks for bringing this up, sleeperblues. It's a unique series and enjoyable. I don't follow the BBC's content much and I may not have otherwise heard about it.

I'll look up Caliphate, thanks for the recommendation. Love listening to podcasts when I walk. Elmer, I find the music really spooky. Reminds me of a foggy day. I thought episode 8 was the end too, but nope have to wait for episode 9. At least they are short. There is a facebook group too, and there have been some interesting theories about the Isdahl woman. One really plausible theory was a drug courier. Apparently hashish has a funny smell, somewhat garlicky. And another woman was murdered/committed suicide in a very similar manner in 1969 I believe.

The 10th and final episode was released today. Having waited so long for the ending (after originally thinking that #8, Case Closed, was the last one), I planned ahead to listen to it today. Without giving anything away, I'll just say I was surprised.

In hindsight, I think the production was lazy in some ways. Some of the later episodes seemed to be treading water, not advancing the investigation but also not building on the suspense. Start to finish, the series might have been zippier if covered in 5-6 episodes. An interesting story all the same, thanks sleeperblues.

I haven't listened yet, Elmer, but I will when I walk the dogs tomorrow. Glad there's a surprise. I agree, the last couple episodes have seemed redundant at times. You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it

i really wanted to like and listen to it but between the music and the woman's voice, it just grated on my nerves. it also moved on the slow side and was repetitive, i got up to the 3rd episode. i might give it another shot ..??
