Customer Reviews
Excellent
Detailed, interesting. Very well done
So fascinating and well researched
I love the narration, the writing, and how respectful the host is. These cases are all mind blowing!
So exciting
Your storytelling is so cool that you feel like you are there witnessing everything. Also the way you are careful not to offend anyone in the story is thoughtful. Pure professionalism here. My only complaint is that it takes too long for next story to come out. I’m always looking forward to next exciting story. Keep up the good work.
