A story from the anthology Masters of True Crime, which spans murder cases from the beginning of the 20th century to today. This is a must-hear for fans of true crime and will also be compelling to mystery and thriller listeners.

This was an interesting account of terrible murder that was tabloid fodder of this era. While the crime was shocking, the papers demeaned the character of the victim, which influenced the investigation and sold papers. True crime fans will enjoy this story of a forgotten murder. Narration was awful and rote. It sounded like someone reading from a prompt.

Short True Crime Tale, Dull Narration

I’m basically writing to concur with Debbie and Sondra.
Adding: Schechter has a few similar Audible Plus reports available.
He minimizes use of narrative sentences and they’re appropriate, not excessively pejorative. The reader mostly refrains from inflammatory emotionality. That’s what I would like from modern journalists, just the facts.

(There’s exception to that rule. Where contemporary jargon would seem racist today, the narrator stretches and emphasizes the word to distance himself from it. I dislike this technique. I think of Fisher Steven’s reading of Mark Twain and how i quickly get over triggering effects of what is now the most offensive word in America. Times change. The way people reinterpret the past with modern sensibilities is obviously damaging. Any psychologist will agree that a “that was then, this is now” approach is healthier.)

It’s interesting that 40 detectives were instantly put on the case. You’ll hear how a combination of Sherlock Holmes and P.I. Lastrade techniques work together. Facts like these give perspective.

True crime well reported

Absolutely loves this story. The details, and clarification of the story was well written. Highly suggest this to anyone who likes true crime stories

Great short story

Like a docudrama, this short audio is heavy on the facts, which I appreciate. I had never heard of the case of the murder of young Nancy Titterton in New York in 1936. I hated how the press exploited the murder and rape of the young novelist, who was happily married to Lewis Titterton, but it is surely proof that this kind of outrage existed long before the current age. I did not mind the "matter of fact" narration that many who reviewed the book seem to dislike. I expect it, sort of appreciate it, actually, in a true crime story. I am thankful that justice prevailed in the case.

Why is Harold Schechter unable to go 45 minutes with out "colored" as description?

I really enjoyed this, and the others by this author. Short, direct, informative and well told by the narrator.

Enjoyed

I feel the narration was dry. I feel like the information was something anyone could find in other books. it was not deeply researched and portrayed like a very generic version of the story. Buyer beware, this same story, with same narration is another book.

Author could have used to put a little effort in. This reads/listens like an 8th grade "research essay." #notgood

not worth your time

Pretty boring account of a murder. Not really worth the listen but thankfully short.

Not very good
