  • Really well done

    I’ve listened to two podcast series about this case, and by far, this is more balanced and thoughtful. (Also, Sue Perkins is always amazing!)

  • Missing info re Martha

    It’s infuriating that the key piece of info around Martha is not included here. Martha died *the same day* a social worker was on their way to collect Martha for adoption. Hours before. Samantha had signed the documents and was putting Martha up for adoption. She died hours before was due to be collected for this adoption. This is vital missing information and context and throws into question about Martha’s death and also removes the idea that Samantha is the victim here.

  • Boring

    And totally pointless. Couldn’t have cared less about a single character and didn’t even manage to make it to the end. Sad & pathetic.

  • Interesting

    Written very well and informatively (if that’s a word lmao) I was hooked! Defo disagree with those who give 1 ⭐️ the information is very concise and easy to understand/listen to and sheds light on such a dark case that needs to be told

  • Avoid

    The way you justify and excuse her behaviour is sick. What about the people she lied to, ripped off. All the people who now have a harder time because of her actions. Nonsense.
