Deity

Written by Matt Wesolowski

Narrated by Simon Mattacks, Sarah Barron, Ben Higgins and 3 more

When pop megastar Zach Crystal dies in a fire at his remote mansion, his mysterious demise rips open the bitter divide between those who adored his music and his endless charity work, and those who viewed him as a despicable predator, who manipulated and abused young and vulnerable girls. Online journalist, Scott King, whose Six Stories podcasts have become an internet sensation, investigates the accusations of sexual abuse and murder that were levelled at Crystal before he died. But as Scott begins to ask questions and rake over old graves, some startling inconsistencies emerge: Was the fire at Crystal’s remote home really an accident? Are reports of a haunting really true? Why was he never officially charged?

[Renae · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Right from the beginning I was hooked & sucked into the myth that was Zach Crystal. Loved the podcast style telling with interviews from all sides whether the rumours of Zach were true or not. As each person gives their side & how they view Zach the mystery becomes more entangled. This is the first book in the Six Stories series I've read / listened to, but cannot wait to check out the rest.
