OK

Revisado: 10-22-23

I haven't yet made up my mind about this story. I don't think it is up to the same standards as "A Bump in the Night" and "One Coffin, Scarcely Used." I do like this series.

Quite entertaining

Revisado: 09-30-23

My favorite is "A Bump in the Night" because I think this story has the best sense of humor. The actors' voices fit their characters. My least favorite is "Lonely Hearts...."

Good story

Revisado: 05-29-22

I've learned over the years that we should idolize concepts, not people. Since the average person doesn't know the celebrities they hold in awe, it can be a serious let down when ominous details emerge about their personal lives. The details about Lindbergh's personality are disturbing at best, and I can't help wonder how his wife felt when she learned what her husband was really like throughout their years together. Given how he was raised and what his views were, I still find it hard to believe any parent could do the things he did or let happen to his son. Yet, the facts as presented make it plausible that the father did have a hand in the disappearance and subsequent death of his son. The author is meticulous but I do wish she had allowed a professional reader to narrate.

Answers some questions

Revisado: 05-13-22

I always wondered why the Washington Post got so much credit for exposing Watergate when other journalists were actually doing so much more in regards to reporting facts. Ever since Woodward and Bernstein admitted that their book contained "inaccuracies" and was not always factual to help sell the book, I have learned to question what I learn in the press. I do my own research when a story of interest pops up. This book promotes theories that could be credible if true. I thought it was interesting, nonetheless.

Really good story

Revisado: 04-28-22

Spoiler alert: there is debate about whether this story is true. I hope it is because it is a really good story. Scott Brick is a great narrator.

Pretty thorough

I've read a lot on Watergate and this book told me things I didn't know.

Too much trashy opinion

Revisado: 11-01-20

This is a great book for conspiracy theorists who don't believe anything as put forth by the government and the media. Every move, every law was suspect for motive. I was turned off by the amount of negative speculation on every president. It seemed none of them had any redeeming qualities.

Good history about this affair

Revisado: 08-27-20

The movie "Scandal" left me with the feeling that Ward was thrown under the bus to protect others. The Profumo affair put fear in many at the top and they needed Ward as their scapegoat. Keeler and Davies helped the situation along with their greed and desire for fame. I've seen a few Keeler interviews and she didn't mention shopping around her story to the highest bidder. I am glad to know more of the truth than what was let on soon after this story broke.

I did not have an issue with the narrator. He was okay.

Interesting story about a complex man

Revisado: 07-25-20

I always wondered about this character because the mysteries of his life made a fascinating study for me. To me, he sounds like a basically insecure man who could not come to terms with how good he was at whatever he took on. I say that because of his bragging, embellishing and over-exaggerations when his reputation already spoke volumes. Then there was his dark side, the killer for hire who maybe enjoyed that work when he should not have. It's too bad his career came to the end it did. As for the narration, I am not too picky about that because I was too engrossed in the story. I don't think he is as bad as some have said. This is definitely worth a listen if you like western history.

May need to give another listen

Revisado: 07-14-20

The reader sounded a little stilted but he as clear and sometimes concise. There was some replication of information, though. If you are a conspiracy theorist, this may be of interest. Author did present some new information.
