It’s also the year Melissa Moore’s doubt spiral began: When you look like your father, and you share his intelligence and charisma, how do you know you’re not a psychopath, too?

  • Heartfelt and Well Told

    This is truly a wonderful story, told with care and intelligence. It is the story of another kind of victim of a serial killer - his own child - and how the legacy of that relationship impacts her life. Melissa is honest and relatable, and other contributors, such as Don, add to the fullness of the picture. Set to great music and excellently hosted, it’s a must-listen.

  • No ads but way too much music

    I subscribe to + so miss the ads but the music is just absurd. Was a friend desperate for a credit or a platform or something? Why the second rate hold music shoe horned in? No need for it.
