Fink rather neatly compresses three podcast seasons into one book.

Sadly, Im not so sure what theLimetownnovel finds.

UnlikeAlices textual companion, however,Limetowndoesnt convince as stand-alone narrative fiction.

(Season 2 premiered in October; Facebook Watch is developing a series starring Jessica Biel.)

The mysteries are engrossing, but equal to the immersive atmosphere and cast of charactersLimetowndevelops.

The book mostly forgets this, following 17-year-old Lia as she discovers secrets about her uncle and family.

Her connection toLimetowns main story comes into view a nice bonus for listeners, perhaps.

But the family story plods, with too much focus on moving plot.

Theres a good book somewhere in the world of this podcast.

But its creators may need to listen more closely.
