lived through Ipswich murders

Having lived through the time of the Ipswich murders and being religiously walked home from work every night by my manager, it's interesting to finally hear the full story so candidly put.

Gripping and at times disturbing

Really well written and narrated. Could have done with being longer and more detailed about the police investigation and the subsequent trial and sentencing.

Captivating retelling of events

Really interesting and informative, and so well presented. Just the right amount of detail without becoming gratuitous. Ended up listening to all 10 episodes back to back.
