If You Like Detective Dramas

Was not too sure about this for the first 5 minutes and then it becomes addictive. The main detective character, who has such a distinctive voice, travels back in time from 1960 to the 1825 or so tosolve a murder. So keep listening as I did and enjoy.

Great mix of time travel and police procedural in one package.
