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…

Good story, well performed

Really enjoyed this - a well-constructed story delivered by a great cast. Sheridan Smith is outstanding, but everyone involved is perfectly cast and believable. An (un)true crime podcast that’s as good as the real thing! Highly recommended.

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.

Well plotted and narrated

An intelligent thriller with excellent narration by strong cast. Well produced. A return to form forAufible after some pretty amateurish attempts at audio books from the Audible Plus team.

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.
