Hmm I feel like I finished this podcast not knowing anything?! Why did Moira behave that way? It was one sided and no extra information from her past to show what she was like, did she actually have a law degree, was she a compulsive liar, did anyone from her past - friends family, have any opinion or stories of her?

I'm a fan of Hannah and Taylor anyway (DWSC 🩷), but really enjoyed listening to them in this completely new format. The show was so well written (I was hooked within the first five minutes) and well produced, I binged it in half a day. Please don't stop drinking and solving crime ladies, but any further series like this are so welcome!

So different from DWSC. The way this has been handled with such delicate and graceful language and editing is wonderful. Hearing from actual people involved makes this so compelling that I’m hooked!!
Apple Podcasts5MumawEUnited Kingdom22 days ago - Well told
This is a very British story. It’s a little maddening how no one seemed to stand up to the crazy abuser! I would have really liked more info about the school and the tarot and library. That sounds like it could be a podcast in itself. Alfred sounds like an amazing gentleman and I hope he recovers from all of this!
