aflevering Murdered: The Turner Family artwork

Murdered: The Turner Family

Today’s episode is based on the book Homecoming by Kate Morton. In the small town of Tambilla, in the Adelaide Hills, on Christmas Eve of 1959, the Turner family was discovered resting around a picnic blanket by the creek on the edge of their property by a mail carrier who was cutting through to let his horse drink from the cool water before making the trek back home. But as he approached Isabel Turner and her children, he got the uncanny feeling that something was wrong. They were too still to have been sleeping. None of them were moving at all. Not even the young children—who everyone knows are restless sleepers. And the infant, the one Isabel had given birth to just a short time ago, swinging in a crib they’d hung from a sturdy branch of a tree, isn’t cooing or shifting. And before he gets close enough to know, he knows.  Every member of the Turner family, young and old, is dead. Reader, I Murdered Him is a true crime podcast for book lovers. Every week we’ll do a deep dive into a murder, cult, serial killer, or other noteworthy crime, but with a twist. The crimes on Reader, I Murdered Him aren’t ripped from the headlines.

aflevering Gentleman Thief: Comus artwork

Gentleman Thief: Comus

Today’s episode is based on the mystery short story “The Dauphin’s Doll” by Ellery Queen. Who doesn’t love a gentleman thief? The kind of coldhearted, calculating criminal that really just wants to bruise your ego and prove to everyone that they’re the smartest person in the room—even when going toe to toe with some of history’s greatest investigative minds.  What’s not to love. And for five years, Comus was the name on every investigator’s mind. Particularly the young Ellery Queen. And for those five years, it seemed as though Comus would never be caught. But all of that was about to change with the death of 78-year-old Cytherea Ypson. And Comus would find his five year string of successful heists brought low by a doll and a Christmas charity for orphans. Reader, I Murdered Him is a true crime podcast for book lovers.

aflevering Ep. 50 Shootout: Sarkesian and "The Death" artwork

Ep. 50 Shootout: Sarkesian and "The Death"

Today’s episode is based on the noir short “The Killer Christian” by Andrew Klavan. Everyone knows the story of the final shootout between Sarkesian and Billy Shine, better known as “The Death” that fateful Christmas Eve night above the Mysterious Bookshop. At the time, most of the coverage of this event had been focused on how the shootout fit into the bigger picture of gang violence in New York. Reporters were hyper focused on how this was just another example of La Cosa Nostra’s weakening hold on their territory and how other gangs were starting to move in. And the coverage that wasn’t focused on that was focused on the great betrayal of Sarkesian and the mob boss Picarone’s response. Turning the shootout into a metaphor for the underworld’s underlying tensions and shifting loyalties.  But none of these stories truly understood what happened that night when Sarkesian met Billy Shine. And it wasn’t until an expose by journalist Andrew Klavan that the real story would come out. And that’s the story that we’ll be hearing today.

aflevering Murdered: Loreen Garrity artwork

Murdered: Loreen Garrity

Today’s episode is based on the noir short “Dead on Christmas Street” by John D. MacDonald. Loreen Garrity would have much rather joined the shoppers on the street below her than be stuck up on the seventeenth floor filing paperwork for Kistner Accounting. But she didn’t expect to join them by being pushed from her office window to the ground below. And Loreen Garrity put up a fight. A big enough one that the police who arrive on the scene can tell immediately there’s no chance of this death being ruled a holiday suicide. There is no doubt Loreen was pushed. And there’s also very little doubt as to why. Loreen Garrity was the only eye witness in an attempted armed bank robbery by three young men, one of whom just happens to be the little brother of a well known crime boss with a whole network of people whose job it is to clean up his messes. Did Loreen Garrity get on the wrong side of the Servius Brothers? Or was her involvement in the case just a clever cover up for someone else who wanted Loreen dead?

aflevering Mysterious Death: Mr. McEvoy artwork

Mysterious Death: Mr. McEvoy

Today's episode is based on the Sherlock Holmes-inspired short story “A Scandal in Winter” by Gillian Linscott. When regular Edelweiss Hotel guest Mr. McEvoy came to stay with his wife over the Christmas holiday, he never expected it would be his last visit. Or that he would be pushed from the window of his room to his death in the snow below. While it was never conclusively proven what happened to Mr. McEvoy on that fateful afternoon, guests at the Edelweiss have no trouble coming up with their own scenario. One that puts the blame firmly on the shoulders of his wife, Irene McEvoy.  So when Irene shows up, dressed all in black, for Christmas celebrations just a year after her husband’s death—there is bound to be gossip.  But Irene isn’t the only unexpected guest at the Edelweiss this year, and the presence of two of London’s most distinguished detectives might just mean it’s time for an exoneration in the court of public opinion.
