The Murder of Sophie: How I Hunted and Haunted the West Cork Killer

De: Michael Sheridan

Narrado por: Shane G Casey

Just before Christmas, 1996, a beautiful French woman - the wife of a movie mogul - was brutally murdered outside of her holiday home in a remote region of West Cork, Ireland. The crime was reported by a local journalist, Ian Bailey, who was at the forefront of the case until he became the prime murder suspect. Arrested twice, he was released without charge.

This was the start of a saga lasting decades with twists and turns and a battle for justice in two countries, which culminated in the 2019 conviction of Bailey - in his absence - by the French Criminal court in Paris. But it was up to the Irish courts to decide whether he would be extradited to serve a 25-year prison sentence.

With the unrivalled co-operation of major investigation sources and the backing of the victim’s family, the author unravels the shocking facts of a unique murder case.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A mind-blowing magnum opus based on decades of research” (Shaun Attwood, True Crime Author/YouTuber)

Excellent research

I’ve listened to this account at least ten times. This case has intrigued and bothered me for 24 years- since first hearing of it.

A good book but I missed an introduction

This is a good book however if you don’t know about the awful case, I don’t think you will find it good. I would have loved the author to have made a brief introduction into the case in the beginning of the book.
When this is said, just a few days before I bought this book, I’ve watched a true crime documentary about the case, and I just couldn’t get the case out of my head. So stumbling upon this book I had to read it.
This book is well written even though there is some repetitions throughout the the report.

all the info in one place

A perfect collection of the evidence pointing straight at ian bailey. A tragic case. one if the great resources.
