SERIAL (Podcast)

Genre:  Non-Fiction Crime, Season One
Published:  2014
Personal Rating:  4.25/5 (very good +)
Format/Narrator:  Podcast/Sarah Koenig

In Baltimore, 1999, a high school senior was murdered.  Her ex-boyfriend was convicted of her death, and as he sits in prison, he still maintains his innocence.  Koenig seeks the truth.

I really enjoyed walking through this story.  All my questions weren't answered to my liking, but most were addressed.  This was a great way to get realistic detective work without the gore that many books describe.  On the other hand, it is disappointing because it IS realistic and not all angles or events are clear cut.

There will be a Season Two with a new case later this year.  Can't wait.

  1. I only very recently heard about this. It does sound interesting. I am not a big audiobook/podcast listener, so I'm not sure what my chances will be of listening--but it's one to keep in mind if I am able to catch it.

    1. Literary Feline ~ I can't wait for the next one. I love the very authentic way in which she approaches the case.
