An honest account

Fiona does her best to comment objectively. Clearly this is a terrible tragedy that has, for many years, devastated the lives of this mans loved ones. Fiona is sympathetic, honest whilst at times challenging. I enjoyed the format of this podcast and was glad to see “the Son” added.
Padding

Presenter whispers and repeats like she’s in the corner of a library. Podcast brings nothing new to the table.
Old news

Very sad story, but this podcast is just a summary, the Host is terribly annoying, trying to set the scene and basically just repeating herself constantly. This is definitely a 2 episode podcast at best .
A Hard Listen

And not just because of the horrific crime. Fascinating subject, terrible presenting. They want to be the focus of the story, rather than the story itself. Sweeping statements, inane case theories and naive generalisations.
Believable

Listening to this today, I thought it can’t be a hit man and it’s more credible that it was something he had done to annoy someone! A refused mortgage or account, so objecting to planning does sound likely. Surely a hitman wouldn’t be so ‘messy’ and he’d certainly take his weapon away, and use a silencer??? So hope this nasty crime is solved soon
Great host

The accessible, friendly manner or the host is excellent. Fiona I hope you do more - this format suits you very well. Interesting story and unravels interestingly...

Excellent and compelling journalism A must for those of us who seek an answer to this terrible crime
Amazing and in-depth

This is my first time listening to any podcast, let alone a murder podcast, and I’m OBSESSED! I know other people have been saying that the repeated use of the 999 call is not nice but it’s just the introduction and there are only small bits of it in the introduction of every episode. Or you can skip the first 10 seconds! I highly recommend this podcast as it offers extremely in-depth information from an ingenious and curious (but still respectful!) presenter. Do try to listen.
Interesting but nothing much new

I agree that the use of the 999 call at the start of every episode is disrespectful and unnecessary. I’m not sure that the narrator delved deeply enough but I guess her hands were tied by the police. I’d be much more interested in the family finances than the presenter given the value of the house and that the family didn’t need to move after his death. Nicely presented though .
Could do with a re-edit

As others have mentioned this really could have been shorter, and the repeated use of the 999 call is at best totally unnecessary and at worst downright disrespectful.
