Karissa Vacker delivers a performance that is both commanding and nuanced, perfectly complementing the intricate plot of The First Lady. Her portrayal of Sally Grissom is particularly striking, capturing her strength while also conveying moments of vulnerability. The story's pacing is tight, with no time wasted on unnecessary details; each segment propels the narrative forward in a way that keeps listeners hooked right up until the shocking conclusion. However, some might find the plot twists too predictable. Despite this, it remains an engrossing ride, and Vacker’s performance ensures every moment of suspense is palpable.
