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.

Enjoyed this so much. Totally got wrapped up in the story. Would love to read a companion biography. Excellent voice cast.

Fantastic Listen - Like an Old Radio Show

This was really well done, and true crime is always interesting. Loved that it wasn’t terribly long, but not rushed. The music the dialect - so perfectly suited for the era - well acted! Made gardening especially engaging and even caught me off guard a few times. The neighbours must think I’m crazy when I gasp or react aloud as I’m raking weeds and planting bulbs hahah.

Really loved the Format!

An interesting performance that outlined the inner workings of a psychopath and the plight of women only 100 years ago. Definitely would recommend a listen!

The voice actors were amazing! Ralph Fiennes is so good at playing a revolting slime bag.

Great voice actors made this story riveting
