Interesting

Cases are seriously intriguing. These aren't very long. I think they're the perfect length of time to tell the main points of the cases. I decide which cases i want to research further or look for an in depth podcast or story of. The intro music is perfect and creepy. 5 stars.

Great stories BUT…

The only thing that annoys me about these podcasts (and Crime Junkie) is the repetition of someone “making a discovery that will change everything about this case”. I really wish they would mix it up and use different verbiage. I literally hear it at least once an episode. And often times it really doesn’t “change everything”.

One of the best podcasts!

U will definitely be hooked on this podcast after listening to the first one. I can't wait until a new season comes out. I listen to a bunch of true crime podcasts and I'm still looking for one that is as good as this one or better and I haven't found one yet!

Interesting but Writing and Performance Lacking

The topic was interesting but the writing of the podcast was very weak. A lot of superfluous filler words and narrator tone too emphatic at all times. Though the stories were intriguing I had to stop listening as couldn’t tolerate the writing and narration of the author.

Terrible.

Murder happens. Cops investigate. Clues are found. Culprit caught. The end.
With terrible writing and overwrought narration, this woman actually manages to make murder boring.
