Publisher's summary

The murder and sexual assault of the young model Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common in 1992 was particularly horrific. Her two-year-old son sat next to her dead body, telling his mum to wake up. After a series of police errors, her real killer was finally brought to justice 16 years later, allowing him in the process to take away two more lives.

Real Crime retells the story, bringing to life the controversial police tactics to find Rachel's killer.

Tragedy defined

Heard about this story so I knew quite a bit about it... but the retelling of the story hits you in the feels. The fact that a young child was witness to his mother being attacked and killed in broad daylight is absolutely heartbreaking.

Exceptional series

I enjoyed this series very much. It held my attention. Long enough to provide details and short enough to get through one on a break or lunch. I appreciate the mix of actors, narration, reality and overall color. Thank you.

I have watched this on television and I have heard the stories before and I have been a victim of crime and murder and abuse. it is a very serious subject and situation that is not to be taken lightly.

Break Down

Some of the crime stories in this series I had previously heard about, but a lot I had not. A mini break down of the crimes really sheds light on the criminals of the time and of this time. I do admit I did well up with some of the stories, such travesties. As weird as I feel saying I enjoyed listening, it was enjoyable as crime "entertainment" goes; intriguing overall.

raw

There was warning, but truly 'not for me,' is the best way to respond to this book.
