The best volume yet!

Each episode of Jarrem Lee is extremely well done, far exceeding any expectations I had. But with this volume, the show kicks into high gear. The ongoing plot points linking the individual stories together is quite interesting, especially the introduction to Lee's nemesis and his cult of followers. Add in vampires and demons, and you have a winner. I have an extensive collection of radio shows, old and new (Inner Sanctum, Lights Out, Frozen Frights, Beyond the Pale, etc.) and I am confident saying Jarrem Lee is one of the best ever produced. I only wish The Colonial Radio Players had made more than the six volumes that they did. Maybe with enough positive feedback they'll consider making more!

A vampire of a different color?

What made the experience of listening to Jarrem Lee: Ghost Hunter the most enjoyable?

The Jarrem Lee stories are pure ear candy. My favorite tale in this volume is the Waxing of the moon, due to the nebulous nature of the creature.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Jarrem Lee: Ghost Hunter?

I realized the best part of Jarrem Lee overall is the character's flexibility. And story flexibility, pulling new ideas from old themes.

Have you listened to any of Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Players ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Volume 3 is a solid entry into the Jarrem Lee series and it holds its own. Gareth Tilly's writing and Jerry Robbins and the CRT are top notch in whatever they do.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I appreciated the Waxing of the Moon is similar to Doyle's the Red Headed League, in overall scope to the Jarrem Lee character.

Any additional comments?

None

Blown Away!

If you could sum up Jarrem Lee: Ghost Hunter in three words, what would they be?

Best One Yet!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes! 1900's occult investigator, Sherlock Holmes-esque deductions, Lovecraftian elements of fear, and battling vampires! How can you stay seated!?

Which scene was your favorite?

I cannot say because I'd spoil it....but it happens within Whitechapel Vampire!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

In this one, yes. I found myself cheering out loud for Lee and Bennett!

Any additional comments?

This set of Jerram Lee is probably the best one yet. The stories pack a one-two punch of suspense, action, and excitement!
