a very interesting series

I enjoyed this series. It was an interesting concept, and I felt it was well done.

Hard but important listen

What happened in Jaspar is so disturbing it attracted global attention. But is the town really at fault for some a gruesome act? I am glad we got a little window into the town and how both sides view themselves. Can one act by three people forever damage a community of thousands?

Why only 4 episodes?

This was a really interesting listen about how places are perceived when something really drastic or evil happens in them. How do people rebuild their lives after a murder happens at a gas station? How do they go on living when a mass suicide happened in a church just a mile down the road from them?

All I can say is I wish there were more episodes because this was a very intriguing series.
