Outstanding British Crime Series

This is a superb series about several crimes which challenged how the British view crime and punishment. Sadly, we in the US are all to familiar with several of these. These cases shocked and horrified that country. Hear what happened and the changes made. Riveting.

Hate the Sound Effects and music.

I download books to hear them read. Not for theatrical embellishment. It is distracting and unnecessary to have music in the background and sound effects. It is really irritating having more noise. If I am reading a book I do not turn on the radio or tv. I am looking for a peaceful experience not more noise.

A unique kind of audiobook

This is not a usual audiobook, as this is about real events of crimes. The way this was told is amazing. Interesting! Plus the added background music adds some touch to the audiobook!

Unforgettable - not in a good way

This is a professionally made audio program describing events surrounding and the incident of each crime. The case is well detailed and the actual audio clips do an excellent job of making the events feel real and current.

Personally, I prefer to read (listen to) fiction, because I've never heard of many of these cases - as they're all from the UK and I am not - and they really remind the listener how awful humans are to each other.

The voice acting and narration are perfect. It feels like you're listening to a news documentary.

Theoretically, providing these stories will help prevent future crimes of this nature through increasing awareness.

This incident in particular stopped me from continuing to listen to the series. I can't subject myself to more stories about harming and murdering children. The warnings before the program begins should be taken seriously. Hearing the actual confession from a ten year old admitting to murdering a two year old is not something I expect I will forget.

Inaccurate

Being a fan of true crime, thought I would give this a try. Had to stop after the second story, which was full of inaccuracies. In speaking about the Louise Woodward case (where a British nanny shook a baby) they relied heavily on quotes from defense lawyes rather than on the testimony of physicians in regards to Abusive Head Trauma (previously known as “Shaken Baby Syndrome”). As a pediatrician with training in the field of child abuse, I can tell you that the reported injuries are absolutely consistent with Abusive Head Trauma. Unfortunately, their coverage of this case appeared to have some bias, perhaps owing to the fact that this was produced by a British company.

very boring book and hated The voice, it wasn't a

the book was very boring I hated The voice it wasn't even interesting dumb don't get it

I believe that I have already rated this book

I love Murder stories. I have a already heard these stories previously. I have deep empathy for people who have been victims of crime and murder as I and my family have been in a situation where we have been affected by it as well.

Always enjoy

I feel odd saying this but I enjoy these stories, as much as anyone can. Narrated well and I feel there aren’t a lot of details left out.

1st book ever listened to.

I am completely new to this. This was my 1st experience and it was an excellent one. I really really loved listening to this and can't wait to try another book out. Very exciting!!!
