Great podcast!
Found this podcast a couple of weeks ago and can't stop listening. Loved the guest interview with Her Honour Wendy Joseph QC, so interesting, and her book is now in my TBR pile along with Shay Doyle and Steven Keogh's! The amount of research is evident, stays respectful to all involved, and I especially like the tangents you go off on. Very easy to listen to, great work, thank you :)

Just perfect
Hellooo! I found your podcast by chance but I have listen to all of your episodes now and wait not so patiently for each weeks new episode! Love love love!! I know you tend to do lesser known cases however as someone who works in health care I was wondering if you would consider the newish case of Lucy Letby? I am also from Hereford and find this a heartbreaking but interesting case… everyone seems very torn about it! Thank you :)

The best true crime podcast !
Found this podcast a couple of months ago and have been listening to it non stop ever since I have long days as a tattoo apprentice and your podcasts keep me company and make my days go so much quicker ! Just became a patreon member and can’t wait for more !

Hello from across the Atlantic
Hello from America! I have been listening to this podcast for a while now, and I really enjoy it. The episodes are short so I can hear the whole thing and not worry about getting bored, and it's nice to listen to while I go about my day. It's safe to say this is one of my favorite podcasts now! Thank you Stuart!

Gets better and better!
As a fan of true crime podcasts, Stuart Blues' "British murders" has been become one of my top 3 favourites! I love the format, pace and level of detail. I even enjoy the interviews which are not normally my thing. Please look into the tragic case of Breck Bednar.

Informative great podcast!
Fantastic podcast which covers interesting cases, some of which are not well known to the wider public. Stu retells these crimes, focusing on the victims, and the main informative points of each case. I love the 5 facts about the locations and also the intro sections with your daughter's voice, she's cute! I enjoyed your coverage of Robert Black as I grew up in Uttoxeter (U-tox-e-ter) and, even though Susan Maxwell was found 10 years before I was born, I was very aware of this case while growing up. This is one of the main podcasts that I use to find cases for my criminology course that I'm currently doing. Can I suggest the case of Donald Neilson (The Black Panther), I've just researched this case for my studies and would love to hear your take on it? Thank you Stu for your hard work! Keep it up!

Fantabulous
Love the concise episodes, love your accent. Just wondering I had rellies in Slaithwate, did your gran know Sheila and Ron Kaye? My grandparents were also from around that district, Cartwright and Batley. Keep up the great shows Cheers Judy Watkins South west of West Australia Busselton

Well done
I admire the fact that the name your episodes after the victim not the perpetrator. If only we as a society followed that and honored only the victim and gave no nicknames and media focus to the rat bastard killers. Love your podcast i listen with obsession! Great work, keep on!

Nailed it!
You, young man, have got it, bottled it, sold it and hit the jackpot!! I've been a follower of 'true crime' long before podcast ever existed and this is the best way of discovering the ....who did what and why! I admit, as someone who, as I said loves true crime, I heard a lot of stuff I already know but you've got a knack of picking up the bits others miss in your no nonsense and unapologetic way. Keep going lad 👍

Perfect podcast
I adore this podcast and wish there was a new episode daily to get me through my commute. I'm quite picky about podcasts and don't like a bunch of nonsensical banter OR a dry monotone host, but this one is just right. I love that he starts each episode with a bit of background on the place it took place. Really sets the scene. He's got a charming accent and a charming little girl who reads the title of each segment. Bless! I've also heard a few facts in this podcast that I hadn't heard in other pods covering the same case. Keep it up mate x

Great podcast!
For the past 6 or so years, I’ve been listening to true crime podcasts from around the world and I’m not sure how I missed this one. Luckily, I came across it a couple of months ago and soon found myself bingeing the old episodes and seasons. The research is thorough, delivery is succinct, smooth and informative and Stu shows true compassion for the victims in a kind and respectful manner. I do love the (pause) “Cheerio” at the end of each episode more than I should admit and can’t wait for new episodes to drop. Please keep up the good work you’re doing highlighting lesser known but equally important stories. Cheers from across the pond. 👏🏻 p.s. Go Blues!

Brilliant and not long winded.
Love the show. And your dodgy accents. Gets to the point with all the info and not have lots of extra put in just to make the shows longer. Plus Get more of Bobbie holmes on here. She’s has a sexy voice 😂

Addicted
Found the pod by accident and ended up listening to a few newer episodes. I soon realised I needed to hear them all so on series 4. Love it and keep up the hard work!

Informative and to the point
Fantastic podcast which covers a lot of different crimes that are unknown to the wider public. Stu retells the crimes focusing mainly on the victims and main informative points! This is one of my main podcasts that I use to find cases to use in my criminology studies. Thank you stu for your hard work! Keep it up!

THE VOICE OF BRITISH MURDERS - #swoon
HOWDY from the U.S. I found your podcast, as i have JUST RECENTLY become an "ELEMENTARY" fan (a series here based on Sherlock Holmes starring Johnny Lee Miller). i have grown a fondness for him and therefore, searched for a "true-crime" podcast hosted by someone with the same accent. (there are a couple, BUT none of them were "attractive" SORRY to whomever they are!). SOOOO....finally i found a podcast with a LOVELY voice AND a LOVELY face to picture while i listen! (i DO watch you on YouTube occasionally, but generally i listen while entering data for an entertainment company, here on the LEFT coast of America. FIVE STARS for the broadcast/podcast!!! and "CHEERIO!" ~ Dana

Best podcast I’ve listened to!
I am a true crime fanatic but have yet to find a podcast I truly adore as I prefer British murders. I stumbled upon your podcast a few weeks ago and have listened to almost every episode since. This is not just, however, because you tell the stories of British murder victims - it is because you tell the stories with compassion, emotion and with a focus on the victims. I cannot wait for the next season - British murders gets me through long drives, planning on an evening (I’m a primary school teacher!) and, of course, house work! Could you please cover the case of Steven Donaldson, murdered in Kirriemuir, Scotland?

Absolutely Fantastic
There’s something about Stu’s voice that captivates you. The research and delivery is brilliant, and informative. Always enjoy the ice breakers, I think I speak for everyone when I say we need story time with your daughter! If you can, would you please consider the case of the first Serial Killer in England Mary Ann Cotton.

best podcast out
easy to listen to with an awesome host keep up the great work could you cosider covering shithead sorry villains , Robert Thompson (born 23 August 1982) and Jon Venables (born 13 August 1982), who murdered james bulger in 1993 interesting case as i believe the toerags got out after couple of years with new identities

Totally Captivating
Found this podcast as I’m fascinated with true crime. Absolutely love it, great info and easy to listen. Have enjoyed the collaborations with writers, whose books I’ve since purchased. Thanks!

Excellent
My go to podcast. Love How short and sweet it is. Has all the info you need and a joy to listen to it! 10/10.

Absolutely Brilliant
Absolutely love this podcast, I have difficulty focusing on them but Stu’s voice just makes me want to listen. The icebreakers are fantastic, maybe you can add in a ‘Dad joke of the day’ I think I speak for all of us when I ask that we have your daughter do a story for us all (not necessarily crime) I’d like to suggest the Barn Mead fire in Harlow, Essex. This case has had the whole town stumped for the last 11 years.

An easy listen
As a fellow Northerner, I find your accent an easy listen. Thank you for keeping me company whilst I go about my day. Please could you do the murder of Liz Sobo by Neil Crampton? Thank you

Awesome!
Love the way you tell the stories with compassion and detail. I'm from London originally but live in South Africa and found your podcasts on my spotify. Listen to and from work and thoroughly enjoy. Dont ever stop what you do. Thanks a mill.

outstanding
Really interesting podcast short sharp and punchy but doesnt cut out the salient parts of the story. Currently bingeing on the back catalogue with a suggested case to cover.

A gem of a podcast!
There are many good true crime podcasts out there so it is not an easy task to stand out from the crowd, this one distinguishes itself and rises above the rest. In each episode, Stuart distills an incredible amount of information into an elegant concise treat infused with compassion and even a bit of humour. His interview episodes are fascinating, I've learned so much from them. Thank you Stuart, your dedication, hard work, and intelligent approach are greatly appreciated.

Should have done this sooner.
Been listening for a couple of years, sorry I've not left a review sooner. I always look forward to catching a new episode, it really is one of the best out there. Keep up the good work, sent suggestions via contact form, be a nice surprise for everyone hopefully. Keep up the good work, not sure why Bobby gets so much stick, it's different and interesting when she's on. She's my favourite guest. Cheerio Stu

Thank you
Thank you so much for making the last few weeks a little more exciting. I stumbled across your podcast on spotify and in 3 weeks ive listerend to all 11 seasons. Your podcast has reached Perth Western Australia

The best British Murder Podcast
I found your podcast after catching up with my usual crime podcasts and can't stop listening. I love the fact you go into detail but not too much or too little and your thorough with your research. The interviews give a little break from the norm which I love and have learnt so much from them, I've even bought some of the books. Your accent is so sexy and I always laugh when you try other accents. Keep up the good work Stu. Cheerio lol xxxx

The best podcast around
Hi Stu. Im somewhat new to your poscast I have been listening for about 6 months and I'm well and truly gripped. I love my podcats and I stumbled across this by accident and is now the number one podcast for me. The time and effort you go to making these episodes is a real credit to you. Im having to go back to older episodes as I think I've finally listened to them all. Cheers Stu
