Why You'll Love This
A dying ten-year-old confesses to murders from a past life — and then leads two adults straight to the bodies.
- Great if you want: psychological thrillers with a genuinely unsettling supernatural edge
- Listening experience: tense and propulsive — full-cast drama format keeps it cinematic
- Narration: Penry-Jones, Serkis, and Fox each bring distinct weight; Boulter as Simon is quietly chilling
- Skip if: past-life premise requires more buy-in than you're willing to give
