The Storyteller: Naked Villainy

Step inside the jury box and witness history being made in the latest smash hit true-crime series The Storyteller: Naked Villainy. This is the FIRST time in UK history that a full murder trial has been recorded and broadcast and this is no ordinary murder.

Following on from the No1 The Storyteller: Murder Most Foul and Series Two - Violent Delights, crime journalist Isla Traquair does it again weaving the narrative with compassion and honest observation. Real interviews with those at the heart of the case and a confrontation with a killer. Exclusive interviews, content and bonus episodes available on Patreon.
