Step inside the jury box and witness history being made in the latest smash hit true-crime series The Storyteller: Naked Villainy. This is the FIRST time in UK history that a full murder trial has been recorded and broadcast and this is no ordinary murder. Two scientists - two lovers - one killer, one victim and it took 45 years to get to court. Following on from the No1 The Storyteller: Murder Most Foul and Series Two - Violent Delights, crime journalist Isla Traquair does it again weaving the narrative with compassion and honest observation. Real interviews with those at the heart of the case and a confrontation with a killer.

Naked Villainy Ep 34
Following the high emotions at the end of the trial, I reflect on the hopes of those who didn't live to see justice and I visit Brenda's sister in Ipswich. Unfortunately she couldn't face a recorded interview but I summarise her thoughts on the case and her relief at the verdict and sentencing of her former brother-in-law.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful storytelling
I have really enjoyed this podcast. Beautifully sensitive storytelling. Thank you!
Dragged out to a painful length; badly needs edited
As a true crime podcast aficionado, let me tell you there is literally no reason for a true crime podcast about a single case to span 30+ episodes - other than perhaps to sell more ad space, if you’re being cynical.
If Serial could wrap cases as complex as the ones they featured in 8-9 episodes, then this should have been wrapped in maybe 6. The author contributes almost no commentary and though the court testimony is fascinating, it has barely been edited at all, so the podcast largely consists huge chunks of courtroom speechifying. The host provides very little useful analysis but makes it clear at every then that she thinks the accused is guilty. I’m more used to even-handed hosts who present the facts with at least a degree or objectivity.
I’ll keep listening to the end as I’m invested now, but I definitely wouldn’t seek out another podcast by this author.
Excellent
Not only is this podcast (both series /episodes) compelling -yet tragic, the narrator (writer) has an uncanny way of bringing the stories to life in a calming, compassionate way. I appreciate how she tells the story and more importantly tells the story of the victims and the victims’ family/friends. She affirms them as well as giving them a voice.
