I've become quite addicted to True Crime podcasts but that's mainly because I love listening to them in the car as I now can't stand radio stations and hearing the news all the time.
## mind you at present I'm listening to a 'talking book' on the Russian Revolution and the decades before it and after..absolutely riveting.
But as for a certain ex-PC cum Chewing Gum Removal Specialist and his podcasts..is there much money in it?
In the USA media companies are churning out superb podcasts about murders..one is a series on Serial Killers (so many in the US..weird). 
Why do we like them?
And PLEASE help : I look after an elderly lady and visit the library for her..she's a nightmare as she can read a book in one day but she lurves Murder Mysteries and especially ones set in London by female authors !!
She's read every Agatha Christie and every Ruth Rendell (who I love as well) but we need new books all the time.
Now there are a series of writers from the Nordic countries churning them out but they're not bloody well set in LONDON !!
## last night I began watching a documentary and suddenly reALised it was MWT !!!!(that fuzzzy hair). Switched off ASAP.
I think your friend might like the "David Raker series, set mostly in London.
I am half way through this one at the moment... www.amazon.co.uk/You-Were-Gone-mourned-Bestseller/dp/0718189000
thanks Honey but I forgot to mention one detail...they have to be FEMALE authors  |

True crime programmes are good if they are made correctly.
Mark Will.i.am Thomas bores me to death with his 40 years police experience(which he has repeatedly claimed since he was in his late 30s)....and LOL,PMSL,ROFL etc this clown was not featured whatsoever in last nights Jill Dando programme even though he claims he KNOWS THE IDENTITY OF THE SHOOTER....nobody else does..just Marky Mark.
That doc by the way was clearly pushing yet again the theory that Barry George really did it..which he did NOT. |

The same applies to every children's charity I can think of, sadly. |
