Customer Reviews
Starts of good, goes down hill
The podcast starts off great. It’s intriguing, and keeps the story moving forward.
The middle few episodes really aren’t needed imho. It starts to delve into random persons pasts that don’t really have that much to do with the actual case.
I felt like those episodes could have been condensed into one 5-10 minute section
Narration is poor
I’m trying to stay engaged with the story but the narrator is just not very engaging and I’m not sure she has enough investigative journalism experience to pull this off.
Fantastic
Love this podcast, narrator is clear and concise with a great voice! Thank you.
