Asheville Citizen–Times weighs in on Madden’s latest
“David Madden’s Abducted by Circumstance is a captivating presentation.

In the meantime, detectives and TV news announcers confirm the progress of the very real event: a disappearance, probably an abduction, possibly a murder.” —Asheville Citizen–Times
