Told chronologicaly

Easy to understand

No humour simple straight to the point facts

Narrator is kind of monotone (1 more)

Mostly restricted to Australian true crime only

A very seriously executed true crime series

I really enjoy this podcast and whilst they dojt really touch on the most famous of true crime stories they do delve deeply into the lesser known crimes, which in some way's is better l! Whilst the narrator is easy to understand he can come off as very monotone and most stories are restricted to either crimes that took place in Australia or Australian's murdered abroad, now that do still touch on crimes committed elsewhere and one of those include one my favourite true crime stories told anywhere (case 104 Mark and John, a story about friendship, and an online relationship which isnt what it appears to be)

Tales not just for Christmas!

Midwinter Mysteries is a great, festive collection of crime stories and thrillers - and I loved it. There are some of my favourite characters in this anthology, and some I’m now very interested in finding out more about. Graham Brack brings in another great story from Josef Slonsky (he IS my favourite), Linda Stratmann’s Mina Scarletti is also a great, if ghostly, story, and Charles Dickens makes an appearance thanks to J. C. Briggs (might have to read more of these books). Actually, it’s hard NOT to like any of these stories, and this fabulous collection has just made my wish list even longer - there wasn’t a single story that I didn’t enjoy. The collection left me feeling kind of seasonal in a slightly murderous, criminal way - but these stories don’t have to be confined to December!
