Great story, kills me every time the reporter says "murders" though- never get used to it

Should've been longer

Overall really interesting listen, but it seems some parts were simply glossed over, like the court cases. I wish each episode was double the length - and that one episode wasn't named Peanut M&Ms (that seemed like a strange side tangent to dedicate basically a full episode to).

heartbreaking yet needed to be told

A horrible true event but a great listen and hopefully we all learn to be more compassionate to others.

Shocking

As I was listening to this I had so many comments on human behaviour in each episode.
But what this series shows is that people are capable of a lot of cruelty towards one another. And I'm not just meaning the murderers.
This is a story of how we think we live in society's that are advanced and in fact we live in ones that are far from it.

Astonishing and alarming

This podcast in incredible and frightening in equal measures. The most concerning issue is that the general consensus is that nothing has changed sufficiently to prevent a repeat.
Be prepared to be shocked but listen anyway - you need to know about this….

Very powerful podcast

This is a brilliant listen. The story itself is troubling but the storytelling is really powerful and it's such an important topic. The hosts focus on giving the victims a voice and holding the police to account which is clearly necessary

Very interesting and insightful but poor narration

The criminal wasn't somebody I had heard of and the whole series of events was something I was unfamiliar with. I purchased the book because it seemed as if it would interest me, and it certainly did. The narrator said at the outset that the focus was very much going to be on the victims and not the perpetrator, and he stuck to that. Interesting interviews, cohesive backstory, well-planned, but oh dear, the narrator. In a way I feel slightly guilty about criticising him because I know that he also wrote it but he was exceptionally poor and irritating. Had an annoying habit of drawing out multiple sentences and ending each on a slightly upturned note. He did that back-to-back continuously, it drove me mad. It sounded very false but also very stilted and to be honest, spoilt the whole thing for me. I would happily listen to something else he prepared but I would be far more comfortable if he didn't read it.

Shocking

Unbelievable how someone could get away with killing so many human beings without being caught. Good work in shining a light on the appalling misogyny and racism endemic in the criminal justice system.

Sad but fascinating.

Unbelievable that he was able to get away with it for so long. I'd be interested to have heard more about his early years as a child and whether or not he had married and had children himself.
