Resumen del Editor

The Talented Mr. Ripley meets Catch Me If You Can in this riveting, stranger-than-fiction story of the French con artist whose crimes span decades and continents.

In 2019, veteran journalist Mark Seal began investigating the suspicious death of music mogul Peter Ikin. Just 32 days before he was found dead in his Paris hotel room, Ikin had married a handsome, debonair Frenchman named Alexandre, who would claim to be entitled to his late husband’s fortune. As Seal dug into the case, he had no idea that tracing the incredible life of Alexandre Despallieres would take him from Paris to London to Beverly Hills, and unspool a web of intricate plots and deceptions that, for a time, made Despallieres a millionaire and left multiple alleged victims dead in his wake.

Mark Seal uncovers impossible stories about a man who seems to evade justice at every turn.

Gripping

It was slow at first but quickly picked up pace and gripped me. The world of lies spun by Alex is astounding.

At first I was reminded of Ana Delvey but I changed my mind as the story was uncovered. This guy was deadly. Fascinating story.

Feels like we needed a little more epitaph.

I like it. At the price as a man Audible subscriber, it’s ok, but it needed more of an epitaph.

Compelling

I was definitely entertained by this story. The narrators performance was excellent. I only wish it was longer. Like he left a widow however the marriage was never discussed. I would highly recommend

I can’t believe how many people he fooled. I loved the way it was written and performed. I hope I’m NEVER bamboozled like that!

Loved every minute of it!

Couldn’t stop listening to it. Great story with a good ending. Maybe one of those rare occasions where I listen again in the future.

Con Artist Killer

This was the story of a con artist and killer who got away with murder. After killing his own family, he tricks wealthy people into giving him money and their time. When the party was over, he would poison them, since it supposedly would be hard to trace. The bulk of this story took place in Europe and unfortunately the con artist and killer died before he could be brought to justice. A very sad story, with many good people whose lives were ruined. Jonathan Davis does a wonderful job on narration.

Captivating

This is a captivating true story about a man who I would consider one of the most manipulative & crafty con artists. He was able to spin every situation he came across for a long time … until he wasn’t.
