Blood Territory: The Death of Jimmy O’Connell (by Mark Whittaker)
Thanks to my Audible subscription, I have acquired a lot of short stories and podcasts. Blood Territory: The Death of Jimmy O’Connell by Mark Whittaker is an investigative podcast where the author seeks to find the truth of who killed Jimmy. The murder occurred in the Australian Northern Territory during the hottest season of the year. Jimmy’s body was discovered in a creek bed, mummified, with his genitals removed. Phillip Mather, Jimmy’s best friend, was convicted of the crime and served 11 years in prison.
Mark Whittaker learned of this story and quickly decided to perform his own investigation. He sought to find out if Phillip truly killed Jimmy and if he didn’t, who did? Whittaker interviews Jimmy’s family, Phillip, people in the community who were close to men, potential suspects, and a detective. Jimmy’s parents don’t believe that Philip murdered their son and are anxious to clear Philip’s reputation.
As a fan of true crime, I enjoyed listening to this story and following along as Mark interviewed people and started drawing his own conclusions as to who killed Jimmy. I was quite surprised by his findings. As an Audible Original, the audiobook is superbly produced with various actors and sound effects to make the listening experience unique.
I promptly added it to my Audible library.
As an Audible Original, the audiobook is very well produced and is a great listening experience. Narration was well done by Hillary Huber and Emily Bauer. This is a wonderful historical fiction about Amelia Earhart and a young girl inspired by the brave heroine. This is an Audible Original that is available “Only From Audible.”
