I’ve loved the podcasts Kerry has done so far. In particular the Helen Bailey case which I followed extensively. So good to hear the perspective Kerry has on the perpetrators.
Appreciated the psychological insight into what motivates a manipulative murderer. I’m a big fan of Kerry, and her colleagues Cliff (The Watcher) and Dawn (The Listener) on Faking It. It’s good to go those few extra levels deeper into the psychology of a case. I’m in for whatever’s next.
Couldn’t be happier that Kerry has a podcast. And I’m so glad she’s telling the story of Jamie Lavis, a case not enough people know about
People can do seeming extraordinary things, Kerry seems to explain these things in a way that makes me wonder why I didn’t think of it first.
Watched faking it and saw this and it lives up. Kerry takes no prisoners!!
