Summary
When pop megastar Zach Crystal dies in a fire at his remote mansion, his mysterious demise rips open the bitter divide between those who adored his music and his endless charity work, and those who viewed him as a despicable predator who manipulated and abused young and vulnerable girls.
Online journalist Scott King, whose Six Stories podcasts have become an internet sensation, investigates the accusations of sexual abuse and murder that were levelled at Crystal before he died. But as Scott begins to ask questions and rake over old graves, some startling inconsistencies emerge: was the fire at Crystal’s remote home really an accident? Are reports of a haunting really true? Why was he never officially charged?

Fifth Story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The premise of "Six Stories" is that six accounts of the same event are presented. All differ, often contradict, but none of the people recounting their tales are lying and they all believe their accounts absolutely.
Very dark story concerning child abuse, celebrity (think JS and MJ) and the supernatural.
If you have a spare credit, give it a go. You will either love it or hate it. I loved it.
Why the missing star for "Overall"? I feel it would make an excellent read on the page, an equally excellent radio play, but I think the audio book was in danger of falling somewhere between the two.
Not your usual audio book.

Given that they are written in the format of a series of podcasts, I thought that the Audible versions would work well.
I'm now working my way through them and have to say that, to my surprise, this doesn't appear to be the case.
First of all, the main narrator (Scott King) changed after the third book - which was a little jarring.
However, many of the narrations worked well - but some didn't.
I'm reviewing this one because the "interview broadcast recording" is particularly dire - it's so obvious that the female narrating the part of the interviewer is changing her voice to try to sound like the (male) interviewee - very amateurish! Given that this is supposed to be a recording of a live broadcast, a little more dramatisation would have been in order for this section!
Having said that, these are still good stories and have the power to keep you listening - if you can grit your teeth during the less professional narrations, you will still enjoy them.
I just wish the producers had found some more convincing narrators
Good story let down by some bad narration.
