Charles Lindbergh was known for many things during his lifetime. He was a famous aviator, the first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean, winner of the Orteig Prize, and a young American hero. But despite his honors and achievements, his name will forever be associated with the infamy of one of the trials of the century. The Lindbergh Kidnapping.
On a dreary March night, Charles Lindbergh's 20-month-old son was abducted from his crib. The baby's kidnapper left behind muddy footprints, a broken ladder, and a ransom note demanding $50,000. Weeks later, Charles Lindbergh Jr. was found...dead. Everyone was a suspect in this investigation, even the Lindberghs. After a six-week trial, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was named the ultimate culprit, but he claimed he was innocent even up to his execution day.
For nearly 100 years, the Lindbergh Kidnapping still remains a major topic of controversy and fascination. A Talent to Deceive uses investigative journalism to dive into evidence ignored by previous investigators in search of the truth. Who really committed the crime? What really happened the night of March 1, 1932? What was the motive to kidnap and murder the Lindbergh baby?
Follow Norris in this history-meets-mystery tale as he performs a thorough investigation to solve the case that will never die.

The narrator robustly expresses the snark as intended, and did accents, seemingly as directed. It makes sense that the Hauptmann quotes benefit from a German accent, but some others don't come off all that relevant. Similarly when reading a transcript of an American male interviewing a British female, there's no real need to identify "Q" and "A" after the first exchange.
The book has some interesting parts, but should have been better. It's the kind of story one wants to be excited about, but just wishes it had a better storyteller.
Interesting, but undermined by author's smugness
