“The story of Nancy is made for podcasts, and it feels like this particular podcast wasted it with mediocre writing and narration. It’s fine, but could have been SO MUCH better if the pacing, suspense, and character development were better executed.”

“First of all, Heidi A+++++ FIVE STARS.
On a SCALE 1-10, 10 being the best, you get 100.
I loved this true crime story. Not the crime, obviously, but the way you dropped us into the story. So as you were narrating, I felt like I was in an open air tour bus, with a group of crime story writers...”Read full review »

“Poor story telling in the beginning and overbearing/way too frequent sound design made this show feel very hollow. I had to literally stop listening because it was irritating to listen to.”

“Some very harsh critics here, almost feels like astroturfing. I enjoyed everything about the script and presentation. I especially liked the dramatization of Nancy’s books and the tie ins. Makes for a unique true crime experience.”

“But I’m really not sure about this.
***spoilers***
It’s pretty obvious where the investigation is going in this case but the police and the podcaster seem to assume guilt from a very early stage with little evidence.
Ultimately the case comes down to this.
A gun which wasn’t the murder...”Read full review »

“I’m really not sure what crawled up the naysayers butts, but they weren’t listening to the same show we were…This podcast riveted my entire family. Great job, and the narrator should get her own podcast. Excellent, through and through. Music, sound effects, story, all binge-worthy. I’d love...”Read full review »

“Serious question for the naysayers, what did you listen to and what did you expect? It is a PODCAST for ENTERTAINMENT. Get a grip. It’s a fun easy listen. This is not a banal police statement. I am sure she took creative liberties, but again, it’s entertainment. Worth a listen.”

“A deep lack of self-awareness here. For as much as Heidi loves to suggest that Nancy is a hack, she has somehow assembled an even hackier podcast. It’s shockingly tone deaf, and she can’t hide her giddiness at being handed such an ironic story (the narration sounds like what I imagine an audio...”Read full review »

“The narrator is so annoying (gives her opinions very unnecessarily), and as another individual commented, you need to listen to this on 1.25 or 1.5 speed in order to pay attention. The production does not fit the crime at hand. The crime itself is very intriguing, but we’re really only presented...”Read full review »

“They will not get more listeners by dramatizing these events. People listen to podcasts and watch YT to get away from this manipulative nonsense. But they will get those who adore cheesy presentations with inane music that suggests you’re too shallow to feel what they’re selling.

“Agree with the other reviews, why is it so upbeat and perky with scenes read from her books when it’s about a premeditated execution? This isn’t a fun wacky story like the music and narration style would suggest. Wrong tone and it’s all about her whilst mostly ignoring the victim”

“I listen to a lot of true crime and it’s a balance between storytelling and the proper tone. Here the narrator just isn’t solemn? serious? Etc. enough… it’s not just a story it’s a murder and there is a victim, etc. listen to / take notes from Payne Lindsey.”

“If cheesy romance suspense is your genre, you’re going to love this podcast. It’s fitting that it’s told in this way since the subject of this true crime story was a wannabe romance writer. Still, it’s barely tolerable when told in this way.”
