    More on the episode below:

    *******

    An Ohio woman is stunned when her husband is accused of murder. Even more shocking? The victim turns out to be her own mother. While everyone else believes he's guilty, she is certain of his innocence. Dismissed by detectives and abandoned by her family, she must prove her husband's innocence and solve her mother's murder the only way she knows how: by watching episodes of "Forensic Files."

Love love love this. The voice modulation, the pace, the pausing, the background sounds… well choreographed to put you to sleep in the best way. If I don’t listen to it every night I struggle getting to sleep. If I wake through the night I put it on and back to sleep I go.

Nice and calm voice to put me to sleep while still getting my true crime

Perfect way to fall asleep

The reader is so painfully slow & the contents so dull & drawn out. Better suited to a cemetery audience.

Dead Boring
