Publisher's summary

The highly anticipated inside look at the collapse of the Murdaugh dynasty by the celebrated investigative journalist and creator of the #1 hit Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Mandy Matney.

Years before the name Alex Murdaugh was splashed across every major media outlet in America, local South Carolina journalist Mandy Matney had an instinct that something wasn’t right in the Lowcountry. The powerful Murdaugh dynasty had dominated rural South Carolina for generations. No one dared to cross them.

When Mandy and her reporting partner Liz Farrell looked closer at a fatal boat crash involving the storied family’s teenage son Paul, they began to uncover a web of mysteries surrounding the deaths of the Murdaughs’ long-time housekeeper and a young man found slain years earlier on a backcountry road. Just as their investigations were unfolding, the brutal double murder of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh rocketed Alex Murdaugh onto the international stage.

From the newsroom to the courtroom, to the kitchen-table studio where Mandy recorded her #1 Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Blood on Their Hands is a propulsive true crime saga, an empathetic work of investigative journalism, and an excoriation of the “good old boy” systems that enabled a network of criminals.

BRAVO, Mandy!!

Just as in her podcasts and articles, Mandy’s writing flows beautifully, concisely sharing her backstory and personal struggles she overcomes to bring her dream to life. The best part of this young lady is that she “gets it,” completely focusing on making the world better for all of humanity. Her delivery is spot on – she has clearly gained the confidence of speaking publicly that a journalist of her caliber should.
I look forward to watching and supporting her career for a long time to come.

Did a great job.

Congratulations! Have listened to you & Liz for 2 years. Was unsure about purchasing the book - not sure if there was more to learn. But I did learn and very much like you narrating it.

Awesome book!

After following the Murdaugh story for so long now it was nice to fill in the details of how this all came together and how Mandy enabled people that had been victimized for years to finally get the chance to be redeemed and to stop further victimization from continuing!
Loved it! Proud of her determination!

Persistence Personified

It was an outstanding book that clearly showed your persistence in the search for the truth. Your goal was not fame & fortune but rather searching for the truth & holding people accountable. The victims were the real winners. Thank you very much for your relentless search for the truth.

Great work Mandy!

It was great hearing even more behind the scenes through your journey up until your podcasts took off! I have followed all the podcasts and enjoy your drive to find the truth for those victims without a voice. Keep up the great work and congrats on your first book. The sky is the limit!

Hearing the journalist's own story

Thought I knew everything about this story after listening through the podcast through the trial but hearing Mandy's pov and the sexism in her career community was so interesting, maddening, and inspiring.

Couldn’t stop listening, even if you’re up to date on murdaugh!

I’ve been a listener since the beginning of MMP so hearing what was going on behind the curtain was extremely interesting!

Journalism

Mandy's personal journey told along with the oh so horrible Murdaugh story made this a fantastic listen.
