“Listened to the first episode relating to Sophie Toscan du Plantier and gave up after 30 minutes - just terrible , chatting to her friend used the term beautiful about 20 times, no facts, no analysis , no evidence just drivel. Simple waste of time.”

“I’d never hear the term coercive control until finding Laura. Her passion on educating the public & teaching best practices for those that are in law enforcement will hopefully change laws. Her deep dives into cases is unmatched. Thank you Laura for continuing to beat the drum.”

“Laura is amazing - thorough, honest, compassionate and so knowledgeable. I have tried a couple of other true crime podcasts but find them to be voyeuristic, sensationalist and unprofessional whereas Laura’s experience and sensitivity shines through in every episode

I suggest she gets someone who can actually write (most people can’t) to compose and edit her scripts. They could start by putting a big...”Read full review »
