    Host Becky Milligan meets King Boris III’s children at Vrana Palace, a royal residence on the outskirts of Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital city. The children share the details of their father’s strange and painful death. Officially he dies of a heart attack, but the symptoms don’t add up. What—or who—is responsible? Becky speaks to witnesses who explain how Boris duped Hitler. But the discovery of a dusty document, thousands of miles from Bulgaria, makes Becky wonder if she’s way off course.

Sooooo Great

I read and listen to WWII history as much as I can. Not sure how I hadn't heard of the King Boris III. It is a fascinating story. I love how they were unbiased even though they may have wanted to paint him as a just a hero. Highly recommend for history fans or just fans of interesting story.

Only just started, but its intriguing

I've studied WWII Europe for over half my life, as well as being a true crime enthusiast. . This is a new and interesting story that tics both boxes. I can't wait to hear how it plays out.
