Such a Sad Story

It’s not the kind of story that one can actually “enjoy.” But it is worth listening to.

It’s well-written, mostly well-narrated, and has a good pace. The reason I give only four stars for “Performance” and “Overall,” is because at times the audio is a little uneven. Voice recordings are played, but are not the best quality and not adjusted up so that the listener can have the benefit of hearing what’s said easily. I needed to rewind a few times and turn the volume up for some of those recordings.

Overall, though, I highly recommend this pod.

Good

This was interesting enough. It's not the most engaging podcast , but it's alright. It's good to remember these types of psychopaths are out there.

Excellent story. Well researched and riveting

Great job by Jeff Pearlman a consummate journalist. He did tremendous job researching and telling the story. Kudos for going to the prison to see Colvin unannounced

Outstanding investigation of a troubling case.

This is a fascinating unfolding of a crime. The writer's depiction of characters is great and the presentation is logical, detailed and nuanced. Truly gripping.

Very well done

This podcast was quite well done with the exception of one small detail: Novi, Michigan is pronounced Nov-eye not Nov-ee.
This is the same for the hotel in Novi, Michigan. This reminded me of the mispronunciations of the GPS which could be where the author got it from.

Riveting and Haunting

I could not stop listening. The story is so haunting because it is true.

Good True Crime Story

The audio clips were very hard to understand as were the instances when the narrator was talking candidly with someone else. But overall, good book.
