Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery

5.0/5

Critic Rating

Dead End is where true crime meets political corruption. From the shocking murder of a politically connected couple to the unraveling of one of the most powerful figures in Washington, Season 2 exposes how power, ambition, and secrecy collide in New Jersey and beyond. In Season 1, we investigated the mysterious deaths of John and Joyce Sheridan, and the political machine connected to them. Now, we trace Senator Bob Menendez’s rise and fall, and the romance and Egyptian spies at the center of his ruin. Episodes release every Tuesday.

"Not only is it beautifully produced and suspensefully paced, it’s also impeccably researched and well-written by Ms. Solomon...The seven-episode podcast focuses on John and Joyce Sheridan...Their death was shocking enough. But what happened next left me breathless."

"...incredible story filled with mystery, corruption, and doubts. There are legitimate jaw-dropping moments that show up when you least expect them to and then you're left feeling bewildered while processing the real-life effects on the people involved."
