Nicolas Day is the PERFECT Crime narrator! His voice is just impeccable.

Nicolas…is that you?

Watch Hannibal with Lawrence Fishburne and get back to me.

I agree. A British version of City Confidential's Paul Winfield.

[@nancymills1884]

The stories are wonderfully put together. With the photos and recreations these are top quality. I’m enjoying these a great deal.

YOU EXPRESSED BEAUTIFULLY WHAT I THINK ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS.

[@Stiffd1]

Nicholas Day has it!

[@phebes]

I've been following Murder Maps for awhile now and I've got to say Nicholas Day is as great a narrator as ever. Was surprised at his sudden growth of facial hair though. And how dare they make Tony Mancini so charming and suave? Great episode

[@redcross6963]

I just found Murder Maps today. Very good!

[@becauselifts9913]

Indeed. I've enjoyed Day on this series and on Myths and Monsters.

It was mostly based on prejudice and reputation, false or real. But before dna you still had clothes and things like that left behind, and motive of course.

My great great grandmother ran off to England for some man and was never heard from again. My great grandmother was sent her mother's trunk back with no explanation. It had blood and some hair in it.

[@johannaholmgren8088]

My maternal grandfathers aunt was married to a man whose brother cut his wife's throat in a pub, with a razor. In front of witnesses. Quite a cause celebre. He was only 22 but found guilty (extreme provocation not being a defence). He was hanged in 1856. This was in England.

Watched for the first time a few months ago .. still can’t believe this guy got away with it

[@johannaholmgren8088]

Even more depressing is that the first murder was not only not solved, the victim wasn't even identified. I wonder if maybe she was married, and killed by her husband. Because whoever that was, she was never reported missing. You'd think SOMEONE would notice....but if her husband did her in, he wouldn't report her missing.

I agree with other commentators that Nicholas Day is an excellent host and the recreation, old photos and footage bring the crime/criminals and victims back to life - wish that were so with regard to the victims.

I remember my parents taking me to Brighton on holiday during the summer when I was a kid.

Ugh. I made a bad judgement watching this while eating dinner. The picture of the bloody rotten body in the trunk reduced my appetite (still finished, but my noodles suddenly tasted not as good as it should, LoL). Just a kind warning for others with softer stomach like me who like to read the comments section before watching... 🙂👍

[@badweetabix]

I never understood why on especially hot weather, Londoners flock south to Brighton instead of going north to cooler weather. Why surround yourself in a crowded place in such a climate in the days when there were no air condition. It must had been stifling and smelly even without the dead bodies.

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

[@celticlofts]

Thankfully the law of double jeopardy has been revised in the UK. It is now possible to try, for a second time, someone who was initially found not guilty in a court of law if new and substantial evidence is found that proves their guilt. However you can not introduce evidence which was already used in their first trail.
