I gave this one a 4. This story has the same formula that Elspeth Eric tries so hard to make work and seldom does.

However, this time it does work. She creates a deep anti-hero and provides a meaningful transformation for him. That is the barest essence of fiction. The character must be changed from beginning to end.

Eric strays from her tired formula of a woman talking to her analyst and provides a little more plot than normal. Some people like character studies, but I don\'t think they work in radio drama. That has always been my chief criticism of Eric: Long on character and short on plot.

Nice selection.
