“Such warm, compassionate and beautiful storytelling. Slow, personal, which could be a problem, but in this podcast it’s an absolut pleasure to listen. Love how music is used too.”

“Truly in depth and gave us a picture of the victims and their families as real people .
The re examination of the case was really interesting and they gave some amazing new details of both investigations .Surely in todays climate there should be another attempt to solve this .
Wonderful podcast...”Read full review »

“This would have been good if it was four episodes long. It meanders and covers loads of irrelevant material. And then there is no real resolution. Second BBC crime podcast I’ve heard this year that ends up with nothing to show for all the time. Sometimes investigations do not pan out. Write them...”Read full review »

“With a sensational tabloid news made myth like Bible John it’s a breath of fresh air to see some one look beyond the surface & take the time & consideration to explore the lives of three women, three individuals whose short time on this earth is far more important than whoever murdered them”
