Customer Reviews
One of the best!
The narrator’s voice was perfect, the music, the timeline, the way the podcast episodes were structured! Everything worked and worked amazingly. Felt like listening to some sort of twisted fairy tale except it was all true. If you are a true crime fan, or even if you just enjoy listening to a really high quality production, would recommend this!
So Good!
It’s so good that I binged the entire season in one day! Keith did a fabulous job narrating it and despite the awful way the victims were murdered, I’m glad justice was served.
Keith Morrison- a national treasure
Who tells a story better than Keith? No one! As only he can tell it, this story was disturbing and interesting and just plain crazy!!
