★★★★★
Kilgariff’s engaging storytelling makes this an intriguing listen, balancing the emotional impact on the families with the mystery surrounding both deaths. [...] It’s a fascinating and unsettling story that leaves you questioning just how much we really know about the human heart.

APM Reports
★★★★★
