Brilliant podcast!!
I love this podcast. So interesting and brilliantly delivered. Thank you.
Amazing
Great series on a very frustrating case. The amount of twists and turns is jaw dropping and there is definitely information being withheld and twisted. Love listening to counter click and can’t wait for future seasons. Keep up the great work guys love from Scotland.
Very good deep dive
Delia is a keen and dogged investigative journalist and her delivery doesn’t disappoint. She’s sooo brave when calling people up! I’ve listened to three of four seasons so far (about to start the one I haven’t yet listened to) and each season is better than the one before. There are lots of twists and turns in these cases, and a number of potential suspects. My only niggle, and let me stress it’s a relatively small one, is that I’d love a little bit more time devoted to detailed evidence at the crime scene: DNA, prints, etc. But as I say, on the whole this is absorbing storytelling! For fans of crime junkie, true crime garage, and generation why this is a great addition to your listening library.
