This novel presents a long, interesting tale of radio in the 40s. I put emphasis on the long as it seems to just go on and on. In fact, when the killer is revealed in the end, I had to ask myself "Who?" There were so many characters going in and out that I had forgotten many of them.

Then the author ends with a few pages, taking place 30 years later, in which he wraps up some loose ends. Some may think this great writing, I saw it as poor plot development. I also found the lead female protagonist character to be unbelievable.
