I really like how in the beginning until rough showed up even as the reader we were almost being "Gaslit" with the picture thing until rough showed up. Pretty awesome to be able to read the play where the term Gaslighting originally came from since it is used so much now. Really enjoyed this.

A short but powerful read. I didn’t really know what to expect because I only knew the rough plot but I enjoyed it more than I’d thought.
The husband is INFURIATING and the sense of panic/urgency I felt on behalf of the wife was palpable. i highly recommend it (for the ending alone!!).

“Now tell me this - have you ever been embraced by an elderly detective in his shirt sleeves?”

Hilarious - Rough is the best.
