Murdaugh, She Wrote

A tale of High Crimes in the Lowcountry

By: Kathleen Hewtson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

From the best selling author of 'Blood & Marriage' and 'The Night My Husband Killed Me,' this is a story of murder and money and power gone wrong.

(And Volume 2, 'Murdaugh, She Wrote: After the Trial' is out now.)

In June of 2021, following two brutal homicides in a prominent family, the rest of the world learned what people in a small Southern town called Hampton had long known …

… Anything is possible if your last name is Murdaugh.

‘Murdaugh, She Wrote’ is a southern gothic tale of one family and the people who served them. It’s an account, or better to say an accounting, of five murders that took place in a tiny area of the Lowcountry, South Carolina, which left a long blood trail that led always back to one family.

There are patriarchs, and a mad young man, and victims aplenty. Some are dead, some are ruined for life, but them’s the breaks in the Kingdom of Murdaugh,

Come on down, there are tales to be told.

Heavy on the sarcasm

This author tells this like she was personally almost killed by the Murdaughs. I have no love lost on the family nor do I have a dog in that fight but the author appears to be personally invested which takes a bit away from the telling when it's written with such vitriol. I'm not sure why the author sounds so bitter but that's the take I got from this book.

The narration was just meh.

voice audiobook

really like the author and her story lines, would really like to hear more of her and or similar other authors

Interesting details..

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this version of the Murdaugh mystery, I learned several details from this author that I might have missed from other podcasts or documentaries. I especially enjoyed the snippets of song lyrics at the beginning of each chapter. I would highly recommend listening to this audiobook, quite frankly I’m surprised it’s not rated higher!

Very informative and interesting

Well written story, a lot of things pointed out that never made the news. Very good

Surprisingly good

I am fascinated by this case but was hesitant to purchase because it is recorded with a digital voice and I thought that would be annoying. It wasn't. In fact, as I listened I forgot about that entirely.
As to the content, I found this book to be very well researched and contained some information that I had not come across before. I would recommend it.
