I love listening to John he’s so knowledgeable and has such a soothing voice given the subject matter. He narrates horrific crimes in an easy to follow way and as the story unfolds I find myself gasping or crying and feeling every step of the story. Thank you John.

Discovered this podcast recently and am loving it. All the cases are so well explained and I look forward to listening to each one. All the cases were so high profile and written about in the papers but yet this podcast always has the added extra, something I didn’t read or hear about before. The presenter is clearly emphatic to the victim and their family and they are so positively represented through the horror that was those cases. Well done to all involved
