Not a Very Good Murderer

Not a Very Good Murderer

While writing his latest #MeToo-related story, Ronan Farrow reaches out to a wealthy and histrionic aging beauty queen who’s made allegations against a powerful politician. As he tries to decide whether CeCe Doane is a credible source, he learns the woman is connected to a jewel heist, an arson, and murder attempts on two husbands. Intrigued by the colorful figure, Farrow switches his focus to CeCe’s life story and the cold cases attached to her. What he discovers is a complicated woman shaped by drama of her own making, whose truths don’t neatly fit with reality.

From Audible Original and Neon Hum comes “Not a Very Good Murderer.” Farrow combines true crime and character study as he tries to learn what’s real and what CeCe wants him to think is real. What begins as an exercise in journalistic due diligence turns into an exploration of nefarious deeds, substance abuse, family dysfunction, and political extremism.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "NOT A VERY GOOD MURDERER" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
