On November 14th.
The highly anticipated inside look at the collapse of the Murdaugh dynasty by the celebrated investigative journalist and creator of the #1 hit Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Mandy Matney.
Years before the name Alex Murdaugh was splashed across every major media outlet in America, local South Carolina journalist Mandy Matney had an instinct that something wasn’t right in the Lowcountry. The powerful Murdaugh dynasty had dominated rural South Carolina for generations. No one dared to cross them.
When Mandy and her reporting partner Liz Farrell looked closer at a fatal boat crash involving the storied family’s teenage son Paul, they began to uncover a web of mysteries surrounding the deaths of the Murdaughs’ long-time housekeeper and a young man found slain years earlier on a backcountry road. Just as their investigations were unfolding, the brutal double murder of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh rocketed Alex Murdaugh onto the international stage.
From the newsroom to the courtroom, to the kitchen-table studio where Mandy recorded her #1 Murdaugh Murders Podcast, Blood on Their Hands is a propulsive true crime saga, an empathetic work of investigative journalism, and an excoriation of the “good old boy” systems that enabled a network of criminals.

I am frustrated that things like this continue to be a thing. The "good old (white) boy" club is alive and well, especially when wealth and long family history comes into play. I admit, I am a true crime fanatic and this story has intrigued me from the get go. I will likely be reading this.

I continue to follow her podcasts and doubt there will be anything in the book I don't already know, but I'll still be reading it!

You may remember that I was a lawyer in SC for five years, and man if this isn't the most SC story ever! I too won't learn anything from the book, but you'd better believe I'm reading it.

I do remember! And you are right. It’s just a different world in this state - especially politically.

Do you listen to Cup of Justice? Yes. I've been a big fan of Eric Bland throughout all this process.

He seems to be a lawyer for all the right reasons, doesn't he?

These podcasts sound like I'd be interested.
When do you listen to them? That's why I haven't even turned any of them on.

I listened to nearly all of Mandy's original Murdaugh Murders Podcast - now called True Sunlight - during my daily walks. It took me some time to catch up - I only started listening early this year and I think there were already nearly 80 episodes when I began. I listened to a few Cup of Justice episodes, before it was split off to be a separate podcast, but haven't kept up with it since.
