About this listen

A new thriller based on the true story of LA’s first known serial killer.

In 1919, Kathryn Wombacher finds a lonely-hearts ad placed by one Walter Andrew:

"Would be pleased to correspond with a refined young lady or widow. Object, matrimony.”

Kathryn and Walter fall in love and marry within weeks.

What Kathryn doesn’t know...is that her new husband is really James “Bluebeard” Watson, a notorious West Coast serial killer who catfished and married 22 women, murdering 10.

Based on newly unearthed evidence, Bluebeard is the definitive story of a sociopath who wielded love as a deadly weapon.

And it’s the story of a woman who discovered the unthinkable about her husband...and dared to fight back.

A great listen

Another great full cast audiobook performance. This time based on a true story, although short it was an intriguing listen.

Brilliant and gripping

I was unfamiliar with this story and the treatment offers a well acted absorbing tale driven by a female narrative that brings to mind Halle Rubenhold’s The Five in its focus on the killer’s impact on his victims rather than a nameless body count by a cold hearted killer.
I thoroughly enjoyed this high quality production.

Interesting Concept

Although this is listed as an audio book, it is actually a play / performance. When I realised, I nearly stopped listening - so pleased that I carried on listening. I really enjoyed the performance, the cast members were easy to understand and follow, bringing the story to life.
