“Excellent true crime drama. Riveting! I wish the kangaroo court in France had not convicted him based on emotions and rhetoric. I hope a breakthrough in this case happens one day for all parties involved. Especially Sophie.”

“A well crafted retelling of a horrendous event, the main protaganist comes across badly, the Garda hardly come out of this smelling of roses, and at the tail end of the frenzy it seems as if the victim of this crime is being left out. To play devils advocate, get irrefutable proof of the...”Read full review »

“Some thoughts. A poet would be a super observant person. His diaries suggest he was not one to miss things. However, an attractive mysterious, independent, French woman lives in the same, small village, and he’s never met her and never seen her… He’s a writer, a journalist, and a charmer, and...”Read full review »

“Just brilliant. West Cork has the best sound design I’ve heard in any podcast. Wonderfully written and reported. So many podcasts in this genre feel exhibitionist, but Jennifer and Sam seem completely earnest in trying to understand what happened. They do a beautiful job of honoring Sophie’s...”Read full review »

“Captivating, well told murder mystery, but even more fascinating case study on sociopathy and domestic violence dynamics. If you work in mental health or the justice system, definitely worth a long, close listen.”

I also feel terribly for Ian Bailey, while I agree he is...”Read full review »

“What bad luck — if you were to be murdered, you could only hope you were not French, had vacationed in West Cork, be beaten to death and your case left in the hands of the Keystone-like cops in a small town in Ireland whose inhabitants read like an 18th century farce. But fate cannot be undone....”Read full review »

The murders of these women, and 2 others killed in 1996, remain unsolved. In the 25 years since Sophie, Geraldine and Belinda were...”Read full review »
