  • Worth my annual subscription alone!

    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.

    A highly professional report on a terrifying person. This is so well done. This person is a menace and needs to be incarcerated for the rest of his life.
