The Audible Original series retells extraordinary real crime cases from around the world, featuring shocking events and their police investigations.
Each episode explores a different crime, with themes including suspected serial killers, piracy, and locked-room mysteries.
Settings cover an impenetrable Australian forest, a luxury Caribbean yacht, the backstreets of Liverpool, a bungalow in Wales, and even a town once owned by Disney.
Emilia Fox is known for her role as forensic pathologist Dr Nikki Alexander in Silent Witness, as well as her work on true crime series In the Footsteps of Killers. She brings emotional depth and clear storytelling to Crime Scenes.
Emilia said: “I can’t wait for listeners to hear Audible’s ‘Crime Scenes’ – where we tell true stories about the darkest events from different places around the world. We discovered that truth really can be stranger than fiction!”
