Engrossing podcast!

A really fun lesson, the story is told in a very engaging and clear manner. I blew through the whole thing in two days! The narrator is a joy to listen to, the mystery very interesting. The only note I would leave is that this is really about coming up with the author’s favorite hypothesis on what happened, and not about proving anything. I think if it were phrased in that way from the onset, it would have been more cohesive. For example, dismissing suicide as an option because a son doesn’t think it’s possible isn’t very fact based. However, if this is one person‘s evaluation of an historical event, then I think it’s fine for her to say this just doesn’t make sense to me and isn’t the most likely option IMO. I hope there’s more coming in the future!!
I’m not much of a history buff…

I’m not much of a WW2 nut, and I don’t usually listen to crime podcasts, but this one piqued my interest and I was hooked. As an American, I know little about this part of the world. It is laid out nicely- I would recommend this one.
Terrific!

Stunning podcast! Kept me coming back for more! And the intro music made me feel like I was watching a HBO drama series. Amazing!
Documentary or Story Telling

I’m deducting a point because I kept thinking I was listening to a documentary type podcast only to hit a turn when what was just said was part of the story, but not fact. If I kept my mind connected that some facts were theory’s only, than the production, hosts, interviews… we’re all well told… minus some repeat statements I was over hearing.
