Reviews
True Crime!
Phxjennifer
These stories are set in the early 20th century, from the beginning of Prohibition to the end of WW1. I had no idea that the Secret Service's duties were so wide ranging back then. The tales are interesting, well written, and well narrated.
Well written and well narrated! Just listen to it😀
