About this listen

Hosts Jonny and Vanessa agree about the most likely cause of death. It’s not what they expected.

A really interesting listen. I regularly listen to true life espionage books - this story fascinated me when it was originally in the media.
The final outcome was surprisingly obvious in the end (but not what I expected).

A complicated and secretive life which came to a premature and wasted early end.

Surprisingly obvious in the end.

Although the conclusion is not a big revelation, the narrators manage to capture the absurdity of this case beautifully. They leave the conclusion to the individual. And makes compelling arguments for both theories as to what happened. Man in the bag is very well made. Good job audible

Interesting

I consumed Man in a Bag over 24 hours as it was so compelling. The cross examination of the facts, the balanced views, and the exploration of many theories made this fascinating listening.

Great cross analysis of the facts

I was drawn to this remembering the original story, and a great review for the podcast. While it was interesting it was overly long and very repetitive in places and could have been half the length.

Very repetitive

Absolutely loved this, to go from one theory to another albeit reluctantly blew my mind, totally absorbing.

Fascinating
