This isnt some true-crime podcast I can listen to and just have an opinion on.
In the year of our Lord 2021, you cant swing a cat without hitting a true-crime podcast.
In fact,Suspectis as straightforward as a true-crime podcast can get.
Lets get this out of the way:Suspectis a very good listen.
In terms of pure execution, its probably the best narrative true-crime podcast Ive heard all year.
ButSuspectis often so uncomplicated in its telling, it almost seems anonymous.

Its probably a spoiler to tell you at this point that the team doesnt end up solving Jinagas murder.
