Oops!: A Nudger Mystery by John Lutz
I happened upon this while browsing library stacks. Liked the characters and voice a lot!
It's a pretty funny audio drama with a brilliant, talented cast. However, it sometimes felt like I was listening to a Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars script. I'd say it's a great story for anyone who is a bit nostalgic for the Thrilling Adventure Hour!
