Not my cup of tea, but well done.

I'm not a true crime fan, I did listen to the end, and it was an interesting listen.

I listened to this to see if I'd enjoy the podcast/book. After I finished this I purchased the book to listen to it. This is a podcast that audible created and it seems intriguing. The narrators were good. This is an interview/podcast format.

Disclaimer: I've been listening at 2x speed for so long anything else sounds like slow motion. My enjoyment of the narrator is based on my listening speed. I only leave 5 stars for books I've listened to multiple times.

excellent

this was a great listen. I would listen to this couple again, no matter the story. and thanks for this, west cork certainly leaves you wanting more of the story, and what's happening now. ♡

Great follow up!

Thank you for this! I'm hoping there will be more to come in the near future.

Good wrap-up

If you haven't listened to the West Cork story, go do so before listening to "Aftershow". It is totally worth your time. I, myself, am not a listener of documentaries or true life crime stories so when I decided to take this on as an Audible Original Listen I did not think I would make it to the end. West Cork was addictive and hard to walk away from. The local and blow-in characters in the story are fascinating and intriguing to listen too. The background story alone is captivating. The sound engineering and narrators Sam Bungey and Jennifer Forde transport you to this scenic and seemingly barren part of Ireland where people go to disappear. So for such a story to draw so much attention to the area must have been a total shock to the residents of the area.

West Cork: Aftershow is a followup to the original seres where Sam and Jennifer answer a few questions about the story and main characters. I could have used much more content and some of the answers understandably are vague because the story and court cases are still unfolding however after investing myself in the series this was quite satisfying to listen to.

I hope the reporters either followup further with this story when the final appeals are finished or can find a new story for fans of the series.

compelling story and characters

Very compelling story, with characters that draw you in; fabulous sound takes you to the Irish country for this real-life tale. Cant wait for more Audible Originals!

West Cork a true 5 star!!

Folks, you ALL did an absolutely incredible job, keeping the story easy to follow, keeping yhe "characters " ( for want of a better description ) clear, and I thought you did a dam good job presenting the issues, keeping the story clean and showing everyone's side. You did very effective interviews, extremely engaging.....I loved the whole thing! ❤ I am American, so I couldn't differentiate regional accents, but loved, truly loved listening to everyone! I hope we hear more from you guys soon, if not about West Cork, then you next project! Thanks to all for sharing your hard work with us! 📚🎧💝

Ok

More to come? We're all waiting for the Ian trials and appeals from Ireland to get more from West Cork.

Some Answered Questions

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I listen to this short interview from the show producer to the show creators and I'm glad I did as it answered some questions that were still lingering in my mind. Apparently there were other listeners that had the same reaction to the story and were eager to learn more. Far from solving the murder mystery, this insight into the process that brought the two investigative reporters to follow the story, has a fascinating aspect. At the time of the interview the French authorities were on their way to a possible conviction of the strongest person of interest, even though no new developments had occurred. We'll have to wait and see how things develop I guess...
