Fantastic!!

I’ve heard every season, and it’s always excellent. I’m enjoying this one as much as my favourite, the Burke and Hare season.

This show is excellent

I love the Wicked Words series. The host is engaging and smart. Great editing style - it’s tight, clean and keeps the story moving. I’ve listened to most episodes and just heard the Jane Stanford ep which I highly recommend (also really enjoyed the guest writer). Thanks!!! Keep ‘em coming!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hearing the story through authors who thoroughly studied a specific case is fascinating! Impassioned studies on criminals we may never understand - the very thing that makes ‘true crime’, as a popular genre, so compelling! Kate Winkler Dawson is a true gem!
