- Fire Fascination
I have a love of fire but only fire in a fireplace or fire pit. So this story was fascinating to me and I wish that there more stories like this. I am sure that there have others but just not written about.

Great podcast! I listen to a lot of true crime, and this is one of the best. I also knew this story, but adding in so many people who were actively involved in the cases gave a great viewpoint. Plus the people who knew him intimately really rounded it out.
It was like a story within a story. It’s so crazy you’d think it wasn’t true…but it is. Really well done!

Like one of the other reviewers as a UK resident, I also have never heard of this case. What a rollercoaster! I loved the order the series introduced the various parties and how each party was given their turn to comment on the case. An absolutely excellent listen start to finish. The very best listen on The Binge to date.
