About this listen

A new thriller based on the true story of LA’s first known serial killer.

In 1919, Kathryn Wombacher finds a lonely-hearts ad placed by one Walter Andrew:

"Would be pleased to correspond with a refined young lady or widow. Object, matrimony.”

Kathryn and Walter fall in love and marry within weeks.

What Kathryn doesn’t know...is that her new husband is really James “Bluebeard” Watson, a notorious West Coast serial killer who catfished and married 22 women, murdering 10.

Based on newly unearthed evidence, Bluebeard is the definitive story of a sociopath who wielded love as a deadly weapon.

And it’s the story of a woman who discovered the unthinkable about her husband...and dared to fight back.

The script, storytelling, performances had me absolutely riveted. This audacious and frankly terrifying story of a woman who answers a personal ad in 1919 and meeta the man of her dreams until he reveals himself to be something quite different is brilliantly told with excellent leads including a chilling Joseph Fiennes.

Pitch Perfect Crime Thriller

The unbelievable truth - was brilliantly told. The true story an extremely intelligent madman

If this were fiction, I'd say it was too far-fetched
