A Limited Run

By: Karen McQuestion

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski

When billionaire Felix Worthington invites the five cast members of the TV show A Little Slice of Haven to recreate their roles twenty-five years later, they're initially skeptical. It's an unusual request, even for a self-professed superfan like Felix.

For several of them, playing a member of the Barlow family in the small town of Haven in the 1940s was an experience best forgotten. Meri Wetzel, who played a loving wife and mother, has spent the last two decades avoiding her TV husband, Jeff. And the actors who played their children each harbor festering resentments of their own.

But living in a recreated version of the town in a warehouse in Montana has its appeal, even knowing they'll be filmed with hidden cameras as they improvise with other actors playing the townspeople. And the clincher? Two million dollars for each of them, provided they stay all ten days and remain in character the entire time. One by one, they set aside their hesitations and agree to the terms.

After all, with two million dollars they'd be set for life, and really, what could go wrong?

Critic reviews

"A Limited Run is an incredibly gripping story, with a delicious edge of creepiness. I couldn't stop reading it—easily one of my favorites this year! Another masterpiece from McQuestion!"—Freida McFadden, #1 Amazon bestselling author

Strange in a Really Good Way

I really enjoyed listening to this story, and I binged it in 2 days. The narration was really good, and the story was definitely interesting. (I especially enjoyed Catherine Sedgwick, heh!) Highly recommend! Thumbs up!

An unexpected gem

The premise may be far-fetched, but this book turned out to be really entertaining and I enjoyed the ride. It touches on fandoms, 90s nostalgia, and the internet’s role in bringing new life to old TV series, but in a really inventive way. It also has great narration, the best kind — the kind that’s so professionally done that it doesn’t draw attention to itself and away from the story.

*mild spoilers ahead*


If the Truman Show + Back to the Future, with a slightly more wholesome than the usual take on the revenge genre sounds good to you, you’ll like this book. The “twist” is pretty predictable if you’re paying attention, but it’s how the reveal is executed that‘s rather impressive and refreshing. Will definitely read more from this author.

Would make a great mini-series.

Growing up watching a lot of TV....this story kept me very entertained. None of the characters were my favorite but all together a great story. Slightly predictable but engaging. I would like to see this brought to the small screen in the form of a miniseries. Great story.

Unique

I really enjoyed this book. It isnt like anything I have ever read with it's great premise. A cast getting back together for a strange gig that will pay them $2 million each if sticking to the rules and staying in their roles 24/7. I highly recommend.

I really tried...

I thought the premise sounded cute, And I could imagine all kinds of hijinks would ensue, some personal growth, maybe something mysterious to round it out. It was none of that. There was something mysterious going on but it was a miserable type of mystery, I made it about halfway through before I just couldn't listen to the narrator's emotionless voice anymore. It felt to me like what I did listen to was darkly boring.

Ridiculous

Far fetched and ridiculous. A waste of time and money .
Narrator sounded like she was reading to toddlers.

Milk Toast

I don’t remember the category of this book. I don’t like “cozy mysteries” and it fits with that.
