I enjoy anything crime and thriller related but there's nothing more humbling than real crime. some cases I knew about, remembered where I was at the time but I was surprised at what I didn't know. I wont write any spoilers but I definitely recommend this well put together, series. Factual yet respectfully done.

You'll be surprised at what you didn't know

I enjoyed listening to these true crimes but found it incredibly disrespectful that on more than one occasion and in the title they call James bulger Jamie.

Each of the accounts are professionally delivered by excellent narrators. Some very difficult and shocking descriptions of events.

Factual accounts. Not for the faint of heart.
