58: GUMSHOE Cthulhu Reviews

This follows our interview with Kenneth in episode 52 – check that out first, because it will help to put this review in context.

Matt has also flicked through the physical book in his accompanying visual review over on our YouTube channel – follow this link: mbcast.co/youtube58
