  • I would’ve given a 5 star, But there’s no ending… yet

    The series finishes at episode 8. It feels like there is a missing episode.

    It didn’t feel completed. No summing up. Just ended on a cliff hanger.

    Is there any more episodes being made? Or is that it.

    I’ll change my rating if there is another episode

  • Insightful and compelling

    Great to revisit this almost 4 years on and in light of the exoneration. Well done Mike. Your investigative journalism was solid and of great value. Kudos.

  • Addictive!

    Mike Wesley-Smith has done such a good job of researching and presenting this case. I loved the mix of Mike explaining, guest contributors (like Scott Opticon) and old audio from other sources (the tapes of Shirley Hall talking to Arthur Allan Thomas’ father!). It all weaves an engaging and well told story.

  • Fantastic

    I am addicted to listening to Crime podcasts a I love them when they are in NZ not alone my home town. How do the NZ police get it wrong time and time again gives me little faith in our justice system.
