THE MAN SHE NEVER MET

Jodi and Samantha meet when a lost dog is returned. A friendship develops, and one friend frames the other for murder on her birthday. As actor and playwright Annie Hulley narrates her own twisting thriller, her wide range of accents and characterizations provides a multifaceted view of the events surrounding the brutal homicide. As the ensuing investigation upends lives, listeners discover more about the relationships among the characters, including Jodi's shifty estranged brother, Samantha's glamorous yet controlling friends, and the duplicitous, abusive man whose body is found in Jodi's shed. Hulley builds tension while illuminating characters and storylines by interspersing suspenseful action in the present with harrowing scenes from the past.
