RagnheidurGestsdottirBeautifulSuch warm, compassionate and beautiful storytelling. Slow, personal, which could be a problem, but in this podcast it’s an absolut pleasure to listen. Love how music is used too.

Davezb1Just boringIt was just the most boring and unoriginal thing I’ve listened to recently. Nothing new was explored, just complaining about police procedure then and now.

MariellaSFCompassionate reportingAudrey, from one journalist to another, thank you so much for your compassionate reporting… I’ve just finished the first series and was so deeply moved by how you have retold this story… and given the families and friends a voice to be able to share who these women were - in reality - and how painful their loss was… something that seems to have been completely missed at the time. Thank you 🙏🏼

ChocomapleOverall a great podcastI very much enjoyed this podcast, “British in all the best ways” as another reviewer put it, and thought it was an excellent and very necessary exposé of the misogyny that plagued these cases. I only wish that the lives of the children of Helen Puttock were explored as much as the lives of the children of Patricia and Jemima were. I kept waiting for the update on her family that never came. Also, the choice of music is a bit jarring and not really suited to the subject matter. Overall, though, a fantastic job by all involved.

ThrasherYGreat Victim Profile/Lacks Elsewhere5 stars for the victim profiles and exposing the misogyny of the times. 1 star for adding any facts or anything new.

n1ckn@m3efg234Empathy vs SympathyI’ve had a hard time staying focused on the story while listening to the first few episodes. I attribute that to coming off some of the more gripping, American true crime podcasts. This series is very British—in all the best ways—and my American, spoon-fed brain needs to power-up a bit. My heartstrings, however, are fully engaged after listening to the Alex Docker bonus episode. Thank you, Alex, for sharing your beautiful words. Your reflections helps us all to feel for, not feel sorry for, the survivors of these and other tragic events.

UnshakabIe FaithSo well doneThis is class act reporting and producing. I had never heard of this case but the storyline follows familiar themes in policing, culture, hierarchy and patriarchy unfortunately. The last episode put a brilliant emphasis on what the purpose really was for taking fresh looks (when done properly). Listening to Alex speak makes me wish every man had a lot more of him and a lot less “Bible John” or egotistical policeman. This story should never have been about how the women were behaving on one night or during one season of their lives when all around them, men in every station were failing them far more, especially those hired to protect & serve.

NgaireSGBravoAt last a respectful focus on the victims and their families. The misogyny and arrogance of the police on this case is cringeworthy.

mxm313Little known storyThis is an interesting podcast about a subject that I had never heard of. The transition music is very distracting and annoying, however, and by episode 4, got to a point where I had to start fast forwarding segments.

CoolBTLExcellent podcastThorough and respectful. This is an excellent podcast. It’s my first time hearing of the death of these women.

JulesV2307What true crime should beI’ve really loved this podcast so far and I think this is what true crime should be. The focus is on the women and their families. This is why it’s important to track down Bible John (or any other serial killer,) for the families and their closure, not the glorification of the murderers. Well done, Ms. Gillan and everyone else involved in this podcast.
