Blood on Their Hands: Murder, Corruption, and the Fall of the Murdaugh Dynasty
Blood on Their Hands: Murder, Corruption, and the Fall of the Murdaugh Dynasty | Mandy Matney
3 posts | 3 read
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 admit I was intrigued by the Murdaughs. I watched the whole trail on CourtTV. Of course, when I found out about this book, I had to read it. It's the memoir of the reporter that knew something was off from the beginning Mandy Matney.

Though this book.has had mixed reviews, I liked it. I gave it 3.5⭐ because there were parts that got a little bogged down. If you were interested in the cases against Alex, give the book a try.

I was captivated by the whole Murdaugh saga since I found the Murdaugh Murders podcast early on. Naturally I wanted to read this book ASAP. It's a memoir about Mandy's beginnings in journalism and about how she became involved with reporting on the Murdaughs. It also follows the Murdaugh saga (of course). It's not a deep dive into the Murdaughs since it is a memoir (other books do that). I had a hard time putting this one down.

I have the next four days off. 🎉

I'm starting my long weekend with a true crime about the Murdaugh family. This is an ARC that comes out in November.
