“Meticulously researched and doggedly pursued, this story is engrossing and well-told. Nonetheless, I feel the opening episodes were an unintentional misdirect that led me to believe the entire series would be spent covering the Motown murderer. I didn’t mind when new characters and storylines...”Read full review »

“This is an amazing piece of long-form journalism with high production value. The story is true crime, but it’s also about some really interesting people, as well as the first amendment. Great podcast music and very well edited. Highly recommended.”

“When my husband asked me what this podcast was about I said “well it’s about a murder that….no, it’s about a book where….ok, so there was a publishing company who…”.
Ultimately this podcast is about the first amendment and the dangers and privileges it affords us and how loose interpretation of...”Read full review »

“This started off like it was going to be good, non-biased journalism. The story was enthralling and was on its way to being a solid true crime story. But like many others the narrator’s opinions begin flooding in and you soon learn that this is nothing but an attack on the first amendment. Sure...”Read full review »

“I’m astounded at the lack of responsibility taken by the owner of the publishing company that sold “Hit Man”. Esp. the quote to Times magazine about being no different to the car salesman who sells a vehicle that later runs someone down. Cars are not made by design to kill people - their purpose...”Read full review »

“A fascinating case laying out the facts so clearly that you feel as if you were in the mind of the murderer. Much better than TV true crime, because there is none of the repetition and rehashing as you go through the series. A great series.”

“The original story about the triple murder is a great listen , gets in the weeds with the 1st Amendment type episodes ( for me ) then gets back on track with the other case”

“I'm really surprised this podcast series didn't get more press coverage and praise. Although it lacks the sophistication of an NPR show, the structure and writing are very good-- exceptional really. It covers, murder, Motown, the first amendment, racial justice in intelligent ways....”Read full review »

“Really compelling, the narrator speaks well and has a professional polished presence. The layers of story and ethical debates are great. It’s great enjoyed it until it became complete speculation about the author(s) origins which they can’t/won’t reveal. Could of ended it before that.”
