What made the experience of listening to Bitter Blood the most enjoyable?

Many true crime book focus on just the crime and the investigation/case afterwards. This book however, looks into the background of the people involved, not just them, but the families that they came from. This amount of research adds not only to the speculation of why the crimes were committed but also looks at the feeling of the people who are left behind and how it affected their lives since then.

The narration of the words is excellent and Keven Stillwell has a lovely voice to listen to. He is very suited to this genre. So much so that I am looking to listen to no only more books from this author but read by Mr Stillwell as well.

What about Kevin Stillwell’s performance did you like?

Voice and the feeling that he cared about the story.

Great research and background

As I love long stories, this book was perfect for me. There’s so much detail and backstory you really get to know the characters. The narrator was very good and really easy to listen to. Loved it.

Brilliant Book

A tale of murder and intrigue that fans of true crime will enjoy, as well as those who like mystery. The narration was excellent, making the flow of this lengthy work seem just about right, while the attention to detail by the author was also a strong point. My big criticism is the length to which the family background is explored, taking up too much room and, in many places, proving superfluous. My second criticism is that the author fails to ask why law enforcement agencies: 1) botched their jobs so badly and 2) whether anyone was held responsible for that. I suspect the book came out soon after the events described, and that many of the issues raised had yet to be resolved at the time of writing. Overall: worthwhile, but meandering in parts
