About this listen

 True North Heists tells the tales of some of the most outlandish capers ever committed on Canadian soil. Acting legend Colm Feore (Bon Cop Bad Cop, Trudeau) dramatically weaves together “in the moment” storytelling with interviews with those with deep knowledge of the heists themselves, including law enforcement officers, writers and the criminals themselves. All capped off with a soundscape designed to keep the listener on the edge of their seat.©2020 Audible Originals (P)2020 Audible Originals, LLC Social Sciences

What could be more Canadian than a maple syrup heist? This is just one of a number of entertaining true crime stories featured here. The recordings include interviews with journalists, investigators and those involved with the crimes. Although the infamy of Canadian criminals is often overshadowed by their southern neighbours, there are some outrageous and sometimes amusing stories in here.

Some of the presentation a bit annoying, e.g. everyone is introduced as "X, news journalist" or whatever beforehand. I'm not a fan of that style, although Colm Feore's voice is pleasant enough.

Not bad

Every story was distinctive, the scenario's are structured so you are pulled into each criminals crime as it unfolds. The narration was well executed pleasant to listen to.

Not a very good quality production stories are just bare bones. instead of quantity of stories fewer stories of better quality would be more appreciated. Narration was rather annoying.

Then story lines lacking in detail
