Synopsis

**Narrated by Mandy Matney**The highly anticipated inside look at the collapse of the Murdaugh dynasty by the celebrated investigative journalist and creator of the #1 hit Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Mandy Matney.Years before the name Alex Murdaugh was splashed across every major media outlet in America, local South Carolina journalist Mandy Matney had an instinct that something wasn’t right in the Lowcountry. The powerful Murdaugh dynasty had dominated rural South Carolina for generations. No one dared to cross them.When Mandy and her reporting partner Liz Farrell looked closer at a fatal boat crash involving the storied family’s teenage son Paul, they began to uncover a web of mysteries surrounding the deaths of the Murdaughs’ long-time housekeeper and a young man found slain years earlier on a backcountry road. Just as their investigations were unfolding, the brutal double murder of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh rocketed Alex Murdaugh onto the international stage.From the newsroom to the courtroom, to the kitchen-table studio where Mandy recorded her #1 Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Blood on Their Hands is a propulsive true crime saga, an empathetic work of investigative journalism, and an excoriation of the “good old boy” systems that enabled a network of criminals.

Too much about the podcast host. I wanted a book on the Murdaugh family, not a memoir from a podcaster.......more

Goodreads review by Matt on December 05, 2023

I think at least to some degree, I misunderstood what this was. I assumed it was going to be straight reporting on the Murdaugh family. I've read enough true crime (including While Idaho Slept: The Hunt for Answers in the Murders of Four College Students which I finished immediately before I started......more

Great book! I was lucky to have been chosen to receive an advance copy of this book. I have faithfully followed the Murdaugh Murders Podcast since soon after it was released.
