Double Take: our (spoiler free) 'West Cork' review. Plus “A very fatal murder”
Not even a blizzard can stop the Crime Writers from their appointed rounds (though it may crackle the connection once in a while).
We get skeeved out by the latest accusations of "Making a Murderer" defense-lawyer-now-judge Len Kachinsky (cue your own cat noises). There's a notable cameo in "Sword & Scale." And we toss around our thoughts on the Onion's new true crime parody podcast, "A Very Fatal Murder." Does a send up of the crime podcast world seem like it's about three months too late?
Then a no-blarney, spoiler-free review of Audible's new 13-part series, "West Cork." The famous 1996 murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier is relatively unknown to American listeners. Not since "Serial" have we had such access to a prime suspect. We'll tell you whether you should make time for this one.
Our review is truly spoiler-free, but if you still want to skip right to our verdicts, go to the 54th minute.
Then in Crime of Week, how else are you going to carry all that dough around?
