Didn’t get much out of this after the first couple of chapters nothing much happened

Not very good

Not to spoil too much but: Kim Barker compellingly picks up a worthwhile cold case saga, but then we all get lost (following her as she follows it to seemingly nowhere). Subtly sad and cynical. Maybe humble too, in an enlightened secular liberal way at any rate.

Good research and storytelling, but emptyish story

After two episodes, I thought I knew who committed the crime. After listening to the entire podcast, I am left wondering. Good podcast and well investigated. I would recommend.

Who did it?

Enjoyed listening to the podcast, strong hook as t the start, but then began to feel like we were being led towards the authors conclusions. I did enjoy hearing her alternate theory, however, as she pointed out, the evidence could be used to support whatever theory you wanted to point it towards. The final interview with the Lamm's felt scripted. overall still a worthwhile listen
