About this listen

For fans of K L Slater, Sarah A Denzil and Joy Ellis, starring Sheridan Smith and Joanne Froggatt, get ready for your next (un)true crime obsession.

THE MARGATE MURDERS follows the hunt for an elusive serial killer who murders once every decade, and then changes his identity. In a story full of shocking twists and turns, a journalist, a survivor, a witness, a detective and a forensic psychologist are all interviewed for their perspective on the what went right, and what went horribly wrong, in the hunt for a killer. But everyone has their own agenda, and maybe even something to hide…

When you listen to a true crime podcast, how can you be sure everyone’s telling the truth?

Also starring Cavan Clerkin, Aaron Neil, and Elexi Walker.

Performances from actors

I loved the fiction as reality feel to this. Wasn’t too long and drawn out. Ending was good.

Gripping

I just finished this in one go driving from Birmingham to Brighton and I was gripped all the way! So well acted - more like a play or a true crime podcast than an audio book. Very dark and sinister

Short story right enough

Felt a bit let down by the length of the production. ( I know it was in the blurb) . More a radio play type performance than the audiobooks I'm used to. Enjoyable enough.

Unrealistic story line in respect of policing

It was unrealistic in that single officers don’t work on murders in the way its alluded. This worm panders to the false belief of the public about the way serious crime is investigated.

Sheridan Smith is Exceptional

What a brilliant story told stunningly by a cast of superb voices. Elexi Walker is utterly convincing as ‘Grace’ - imbuing the character with the fragility and equal strength of a survivor. The standout in the wonderful cast is the genius of Sheridan Smith who brings a tour de force of emotions, conviction and realness that just takes this story over the edge. Brilliant and must listen.

Slightly abrupt end but good narration

The ending was a bit sudden and felt slightly unfinished, as if there was a missing episode to the drama. Nevertheless, excellent narration by the cast and captivating twists in the story.
