Not sure

podcast isn’t bad but it’s a little upbeat and jazzy considering someone died, host sounds like she’s doing voice acting for a commercial rather than describing a murder

kc3989 ,

Well told but wrong tone

Really engaging and gripping. But the tone and theme tune is off. It’s all too jolly, like ‘haha this is wild, coz she’s such an unlikely killer’. If HE’D killed HER, I have no doubt this series would strike a drastically different tone.
