Customer Reviews
Spellbinding
A podcast about geriatric murderers? Morrison is the perfect moderator for this series.
Helen & Olga - The Psycho-grannies you just didn’t see coming!
The only person who COULD make this unbelievable tale of greed, fraud & murderous seniors sound plausible, is Canada’s own, Keith Morrison. What a delightfully devious, twisted tale.
KUDOS to all !
Helen
It’s very hard to believe this is a true story. I’ve only listened to two episodes but already it appears these women are completely psychotic and so devious it’s unfathomable. Keith Morrison has the kind of voice that washes over the narrative like warm, thick dark chocolate. Yum!
