About this listen

Was Jason the monster who bludgeoned his beautiful wife to death, leaving his toddler alone for hours to walk through her blood? If so - would he get away with it?

To the outside world, Jason and Michelle Young lived a storybook life - an attractive couple with great jobs, a beautiful home, a precocious two-year-old daughter, and a baby boy on the way.

Soon after the 29-year-old pregnant mother’s brutally beaten body was discovered on their bedroom floor, a very different picture emerged. Of a marriage crumbling at its foundation. Of a meddlesome New York mother-in-law whose running critique left Jason frustrated and angry. Of a 32-year-old man who behaved like a frat boy rebelling against adult responsibilities.

Murder on Birchleaf Drive documents the gripping tale of a family’s marathon quest for justice, confounding crime scene evidence, the persistence of law enforcement officers, and riveting courtroom combat.

“One of the best true crime books I have read.” (David S. Rudolf, featured attorney, The Staircase [Netflix])

Interesting story, struggled with narrator

This is a sad and tragic story and it’s told in an interesting way that keeps you engaged in the story.
My issue with this audiobook is the narrator. His normal narration is fine but when he puts on the various women’s voices I find it very condescending and quite disrespectful. I would be quite offended if he was acting out my story in this manner.
Surely they could use a female narrator for those parts like I’ve heard in other books, or just speak them in a normal voice rather than a exaggerated southern drawl?

Murder on Birchleaf Drive

Story line dragged on and the big issue was the narrator's voice struggled to finish.

The narration is just very robotic I can't listen to it. I might read instead.

worst book on Audible

I couldn't put my finger on what made this so bad. the writing was dull, like a spoken conversation with a biased friend of the grieving family but the performance then reduced the characters to cliché.
