“I must point out that I am no detective but Am I the only one that’s screaming the obvious point! In my opinion, Father shot his wife, chased the brother into the toilet where he had locked himself in, he kicked the door in and after a struggle (hence the 2 small cuts) he cuts his throat! —-...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed this podcast. The story was really interesting. I was pretty sure I believed most of what was being said up until the 3rd or 4th episode. One of the people he was interviewing conveniently said she felt scared and like she was being watched…by a male…and that the ghosts name...”Read full review »

“Wondery always produce great podcasts, but this tops the list! I ate this up in a matter of days, getting all the girls in my office to join in too. Would do anything for another season!”

“My only problem with this show was the way it was advertised across the podcast platforms. That advert really didn’t grab me at all - it gave me the impression it was a show about ghosts whereas It has much more depth than that. You might not think the supernatural component particularly...”Read full review »

“This was a great podcast to listen to. Lots of interesting characters and obviously well researched and presented. I do hope there is a ‘faceless woman’ sequel.”

“Absolutely loved this podcast - I was gripped from the very start, and it just got more and more compelling. Naomi sounds like she was an incredible woman, and you’ve honoured her so well by sharing her life with us all. You did a great job, and treated the family history with such care.”

“There was so much opportunity to really give proper voice to Dr Naomi, who was pioneering and inspiring and it didn’t happen. A very small token gesture of respect in the end felt weak. Honestly I feel yuck listening and hearing that the family legacy has been to ignore her.”

“I really enjoyed this podcast. It just came up on my options. One day. It’s very well structured and easy to listen to the music and sound is all really great. I’m hoping that they can investigate other murder mysteries and do future seasons looking forward to it.”

“Nice cadence, kept me engaged, top reveals with genuine mystery which keeps the listener wanting more.
What I would say, it’s bonkers how this lad walks right through that invisible line one has with their in-laws. Awkward family meal coming right up…. That needs to be season 2 🤣”

“I got to episode 4. I found this a little too drawn out & started to loose interest.

“I loved this so much. I know some of the reviews find it quite self obsessed, and don’t understand why people would care about this family… but it touches on so many subjects. PTSD, sexism in the early 1900’s, family dynamics and of course some good old spooky stuff. I found it highly...”Read full review »

Speculating as to why someone didn’t want to participate is also disrespectful. Perhaps there are mental...”Read full review »

“Dr Naomi was definitely forgotten in the process of upholding John’s ‘reputation’. To end with a psychic instead of reviewing the input of several highly reputable experts when it comes to analysing murders says enough about the integrity of the journalist telling the story.”

“You think it’s going to be about a ghost in a house then it turns into a murder of the Dancy family’s ancestor.
