TRACE: This ABC podcast looks at the brutal murder of Maria James in her Melbourne bookshop in June of 1980. Heads up a few episodes talk about horrific crimes against children in pretty graphic detail. I skipped them. There are 381 reviews of this podcast (one of the most I remember noting) and it has 4.7 average stars. The seven-episode miniseries production launched in 2017 and finished up in 2018 with each episode being about 17 minutes long. The pod covers the initial investigation and also updates as they happen. Tough listen but fascinating.

The real life unsolved (at the time I type this) murder of Maria is compelling listening from the get-go. Investigative journalist Rachael Brown is a perfect choice in her forensic investigations and interviewing of associates of the victim and suspects. Utterly captivating and one day, hopefully solved.
