As usual you start with a strange mystery. However, the added data really doesn’t enlighten the subject in the least and you’re still left with a strictly circumstantial case with no forensic evidence or body. Fortunately, it still seems like the murderer arrested and convicted is truly guilty simply because of his odd behavior and holes in time in his schedule which he cannot explain, but sadly the “new evidence” offers no firmer answer or additional closure.

Incredibly narrated and completely fascinating. I was hooked from the beginning. My own opinions about the verdict or about guilt do not matter. I will say the authors did a fantastic job. What they did was take a story, a tragedy, that I knew nothing about and present a case where I was left with many unanswered questions. How could a jury have found this man guilty without a doubt is unknown to me. This does not mean that I do not hold him accountable or believe he had no involvement, however with the information provided I am unsure of how any jury could. My husband and I found ourself sitting around discussing this and going over things during dinner. Not many aydiobooks give is dinner conversation. Riveting. An absolute must for individuals who like true crime or mysteries.

An interesting look at the Scottish justice system. At times it was hard to understand because of the Scottish accent. It also repeats it's self quite a few times. Otherwise, another case out of the thousands that might have convicted the wrong person.

This was laid out in podcast fashion - I think it might have originally been a podcast? - and was well produced but not overdone.
Anyway, this explores a disappearance of a woman in Scotland and the evidence (or lack thereof) on which her ex-boyfriend was convicted of her murder. It was obvious that the producers aimed for this to be a “neutral” point of view of the case by only laying out facts. But it still felt very one-sided.
I walked away from this feeling like I wanted more of an explanation or investigation on certain aspects of the case - like how material was chosen to be presented to the jury, more effort about the mysterious car, etc. A good story but it felt very incomplete.

Free on audible.
Body of Proof was an okay book to listen to. It's a little mystery that introduces you to a lot of characters. Some were okay but others, or at least their narrators, spoke too softly or way too fast for my brain to catch up to it. Luckily for me, I was so into the little podcast that it didn't really change my opinion on anything.
I do wish that it was a tad bit longer but definitely enjoyed every little detail and twist that came my way.

It's fine. It's like a 6 hour long true crime podcast episode. Interesting but nothing spectacular.

An interesting view of the Scottish justice system. I couldn't get past how flimsy the evidence was. I also wasn't convinced that he wasn't involved somehow.

I like true crime, and this was a decent one. An intriguing case. However, some of the witnesses Scottish accents were so thick I couldn’t understand them (even with the audio speed slowed way down). Also, the two authors still seemed on the fence about the suspect’s innocence at the end...which made for an unsatisfactory conclusion. ⭐️⭐️1/2
