About this listen

A woman relishes the last cries of her husband on the phone as he is brutally murdered by her lover. A teenager poisons her family for the love of her tutor. A woman driven by greed ruthlessly bludgeons eight members of her family.

A beautician gangs up with her lover to rob a house, killing innocent women from three generations of a family. A practising lawyer strangles her lawyer husband with the cord of a mobile charger. A friendly and jovial teacher commits at least six murders over 14 years in a sleepy town down south.

Death Served Cold is a painstakingly researched collection of true, blood-curdling accounts of gruesome murders committed by India’s most dangerous women over the last three decades.

These stories explore the dark recesses of the female psyche and challenge popular stereotypes by revealing shocking excesses of sadism and aggression rarely associated with women.

Heavily-dramatized

Author Sourabh Mukherjee presents a collection of seven true-life crimes committed by Indian women. A professor of criminology reveals the episodes to a class of inquisitive students in a fictional Law/Sociology Class at some university in India somewhere. It's a clever contrived device for delivering a compendium.
Less fortunately for a True Crime aficionado like myself, the cases are also presented like fictional little screenplays - complete with fistfights, sex scenes, and invented dialogue. I couldn't tell if the crimes were 30% fictionalized? 80% fictionalized? 100%? What?

Reader "Annie" has a very strong Indian accent that occasionally overwhelms (and she displays a couple of mispronunciations), but otherwise reads clearly with creditable diction, serviceable cadence & timbre, admirable pacing, and outstanding voice-acting.

Altogether, 'Death Served Cold' only rates 5.5 stars out of 10. It was a passable distraction for a quiet snowy afternoon, but even as a free option, you could find better ways to spend your time than on this questionably authentic exposé.

[Note: The amount of graphic sexual activity in the episodes suggests an author with obsessions, too.. contributing to my "is this fiction?" impression]
