Title: Salt, Sweat, Tears Subtitle: The Men Who Rowed the Oceans Author: Adam Rackley Narrator: Ralph Lister Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Fewer people have rowed across the Atlantic Ocean than have climbed Mount Everest. Adam Rackley is among them. For 70 days, he and his rowing partner ate, slept, and rowed in a boat seven meters long and two meters wide, in one of the world's most extreme environments. This is his story of adventure, endurance, and self-discovery. They were following in the wake of pioneers. In 1896, a pair of Norwegian fisherman crossed the 2,500 miles in a wooden fishing dory - and their record stood for 114 years. John Fairfax, a smuggler, gambler, and shark hunter, was the first to complete the feat single-handedly in 1969. Others have followed; some have not survived the attempt. This is their story, too.

Title: A Criminal and an Irishman Subtitle: The Inside Story of the Boston Mob - IRA Connection Author: Patrick Nee, Richard Farrell, Michael Blythe Narrator: R. C. Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-11 Publisher: steerforth press l.l.c. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: A Criminal and an Irishman is the story of Pat Nee's life as an Irish immigrant and Southie son, a Marine, a convicted IRA gun smuggler, and a former violent rival and then associate of Whitey Bulger. His narrative transports the listener into the criminal underworld, inside planning and preparation for an armored car heist, inside gang wars and revenge killings. Nee details his evolution from tough street kid to armed robber to dangerous potential killer, and discloses for the first time how he used his underworld connections and know-how as a secret, Boston-based operative for the Irish Republican Army. For years, Pat smuggled weapons and money from the United States to Ireland - in the bottoms of coffins, behind false panels of vans - leading up to a transatlantic shipment of seven and a half tons of munitions aboard the fishing trawler Valhalla. No other Southie underworld figure can match Pat's reputation for resolve and authenticity. Critic Reviews: "A profane, often brutal memoir . . . Nee maintained an uneasy alliance with [Whitey] Bulger while persuing his personal cause -- raising money and smuggling weapons for the Irish Republican Army." (The Boston Herald) "Nee commits some horrible crimes, from attempted murder to armed robbery. Yet even as he chases someone with a rifle through South Boston, he's the sort of guy you want to root for."

Title: The Hoffa Wars Subtitle: The Rise and Fall of Jimmy Hoffa Author: Dan E. Moldea Narrator: Eric Martin Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: The definitive portrait of the powerful, corruption-ridden Teamsters union and its legendary president Jimmy Hoffa - organizer, gangster, convict, and conspirator - with a new afterword by the author. James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa was one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in 20th-century America. His remarkable journey from young union organizer to all-powerful head of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is an epic tale worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, jam-packed with intrigue, subterfuge, violence, and corruption. His successes were monumental, his fall truly spectacular, and his bizarre disappearance in the summer of 1975 remains one of the great mysteries in American history. Widely considered to be the definitive volume on the career and crimes of Jimmy Hoffa, The Hoffa Wars, by acclaimed investigative journalist Dan E. Moldea, is an eye-opening, extensively researched account of the steady rise and fall of an ingenious, ambitious man who was instrumental in transforming a small union of 75,000 truckers into the most powerful labor brotherhood in world. Shocking disclosures in Moldea's no-holds-barred account include the devil's bargain that put Hoffa and his union in the pockets of the Mob, Hoffa's role in the joint CIA-Mafia plots to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro, the deal Hoffa made with US president Richard Nixon that released the disgraced Teamster president from prison eight years early, and the truth behind Hoffa's eventual disappearance and likely murder. But perhaps the most startling revelation of all concerns the integral part Jimmy Hoffa played, in concert with underworld kingpins Carlos Marcello and Santos Trafficante, in America's most terrible 20th-century crime: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Dan E.

Kennedy. Members Reviews: Power and Corruption Dan E molder is an investigative journalist who has conducted extensive research on James (Jimmy) Riddle Hoffa. Molders biography of Hoffa is an in-depth look at the life of this interesting and controversial figure of the 20th century. Molder follows Hoffa from a young union organizer to the all powerful leader of the Teamsters Union. Hoffas disappearance in 1975 is one of the great mysteries. The author shows how Hoffa put the Union into the clutches of the Mod. The author discusses the Nixon bribes, mafia connection, shakedowns during organizing and Hoffa use of the Union Pension fund to provide capital for the mob to build casinos in Los Vegas. It was in this book The Hoffa Wars published in 1978 that Molder put forth the theory that Hoffa along with mobsters Carlo Marcello and Santos Trafficants arranged the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This theory has become very popular over time. The book is fairly long at a bit over 21 hours. Eric Martin narrated the book. Impenetrable, interminable Freeform, labyrinthine, lacking in focus, driven aimlessly by a rambling narrative that cries out for a firm editorial hand. Little or no attempt to introduce, classify or place in context the hundreds of characters listed throughout this story. The introduction makes much of the fact that the book was out of print or unobtainable for many years. Having tried on three occasions to listen to this book, I now understand why. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Rothstein-Audiobook/B002V0Q114 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Time well spent Comprehensive period account for those interested in early 20th century American history. Narration was more than adequate but for some mispronunciation of Yiddish names, terms and idioms. The narrative timeline was sometimes disjointed (major disadvantage in audiobook). Held my interest throughout. Fans of the time and place, rejoice Arnold Rothstein was a pioneer of 20th century organized crime. He took the street-level and gambling-house tricks to new heights of craft and organization. He brought a spiritedness and an element of sly humor to his business. His proteges include Meyer Lansky, Benjamin Siegel, and Lucky Luciano, launching the multi-ethnic criminal organization that loomed so large later in the century. Arnold was a white glove kind of guy who almost never got his own fingernails dirty; he was great at using straw men and having numerous fall guys between him and trouble. He brought an extreme discretion and skills of quiet manipulation of every player in sight, along with fastidious risk management, that would become a standard way of life in modern America's political economy. He should stand as an icon for every slick well-dressed manicured slimeball out there. As such, he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Grover Gardner's narration has just the right sophisticated twang for this. The story drags a bit at a few points, but it moves plenty well, and was well worth my time. Wonderful book, excellent narrator. I can't say enough about Grover. By far my favorite narrator, hands down. The book itself was excellent as well, with lots of facts, but great story as well. The chapters on the 1919 scandal were riveting, and the human story was well told. 5 stars from me. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Top-Cases-of-The-FBI-American-Criminal-History-Audiobook/B0085YD0G4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Its the equivelent of reading a short blurb in a newspaper column to get you back up to date by highlighting all of the essential information but leaves out the parts that would give more depth to the stories. A Compendium of FBI top cases in U.S. history Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Top Cases of The FBI consists of twelve of the most notorious criminals cases involving the FBI, from crime families to events such as Waco Siege and Ruby Ridge (two of the more familiar 'black eyes' the FBI received because of the way they handled the situations). The book is well written and researched. The narrator is very professionally spoken and telling the stories made it quite enticing. I highly recommend this audio format as it's not too long and compared to some of the prices I've seen, it's relatively inexpensive. What about David Gilmores performance did you like? Very well produced and most enticing. He reads at a good pace. I've downloaded others and some narrators reads slow and drags the story out. Mr. Gilmore done a bravo job. Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? I wasn't aware of the 1986 FBI shootout in Miami which prompted police from changing from revolvers to semi-automatics because several FBI agents were shot in the hand or arm and couldn't reload their weapons. Wikiloo This audiobook is like having someone read a handful of wikipedia pages to you. Not bad but... weird. TRUE CRIME BUFFS WILL FIND IT REPETITIVE. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would recommend it to someone new to true crime books. If you're into true crime, you will already have read the books on these cases and find the book so-so. Parker is a good writer so I many pick up other books by him now that I know that. If youve listened to books by RJ Parker before, how does this one compare? This is a first and I like his writing style. I'm definately going to read more of his books. What three words best describe David Gilmores performance? He's ok, but not excellent. Do you think Top Cases of The FBI (American Criminal History) needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Only if he gets fresh cases that true crime buffs wouldn't have read about already. Any additional comments? If you are new to true crime reading, you should check out this book. It will make you want to read more about the cases he talks about. No insight Very disappointed in this book. He author recites the history of the criminal but adds no insight into the criminals or their crimes. I was at least expecting some information on the FBI investigations and how the criminal was captured but there is nothing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Adversary-Audiobook/B0764LKLYQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Evening Standard) Members Reviews: A BOOK I OFTEN LEND TO FRIENDS -- LEND BECAUSE ... A BOOK I OFTEN LEND TO FRIENDS -- LEND BECAUSE I HAVE READ IT MORE THAN ONCE AND WANT TO KEEP IT. Riveting True Crime Story Emmanuel Carrère's true crime story The Adversary begins with one of the most arresting first lines I have ever read: "On the Saturday morning of January 9, 1993, while Jean-Claude Romand was killing his wife and children, I was with mine in a parent-teacher meeting at the school attended by Gabriel, our eldest son." What follows is the nearly unbelievable story of Romand, who deceived his family and his closest friends for eighteen years, convincing them that he was a prominent doctor employed in Geneva by the World Health Organization. In fact, Romand had never finished medical school, and he spent his days reading newspapers in cafes or taking walks in the woods. He supported himself and his family on money he swindled from friends and relatives, trusting souls who, incredibly, rarely asked about the status of the considerable sums Romand had allegedly invested for them. Romand's story might be just bizarrely amusing--a French variation of the life of deceit adopted by Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Catch Me If You Can, albeit with a less clever protagonist--were it not for what happened next. When Romand's deceit was likely to be uncovered--he had drained dry the well of his acquaintances' bank accounts--he murdered his wife and his parents, his five-year-old son and his daughter, and he tried, but only half-heartedly, to kill himself. As the first sentence of Carrère's book suggests, the author periodically interjects his own experiences and responses into his narrative. He is clearly concerned with separating himself from the small "club" of Jean-Claude's devotees, Christian prison visitors who have come to admire the murderer in his new role as repentant sinner, the anguished prisoner who has found God and, condemned to life, assumes his suffering as some sort of expiation for his crimes. Carrère is rightly appalled--at least to an extent--by these do-gooders, and he does manage to succeed, I think, in distancing himself from them. The author is decidedly not an apologist for Romand. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Jeffrey-Dahmer-The-Gruesome-True-Story-of-a-Hungry-Cannibalistic-Rapist-and-Necrophiliac-Serial-Killer-Audiobook/B077J6LV27 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A brief overview of Jeffrey Dahmer I would have given a higher rating but due to some important details that were left out, I gave 4 out of 5 stars. Jeff's first murder as an adolescent committed in Ohio, of the teenage hitchhiker, "Hicks", this book claimed Jeff cut up and buried the body in his backyard to only exhume it many weeks later finally crushing the bones and then scattering them out in the woods behind his house. In other books and documentaries they said Jeff dismembered Hicks and put his body parts into a few large plastic leaf & lawn bags and drove them around one night in which he was pulled over by a police officer around 2 am and was asked what the bags in the back seat were for and had he been drinking and who's car was he driving. Jeff had said his parents were out of town, allowed him access to his mom's car on occasion, and that he was taking lawn clippings to the dump that was open 24 hours because he was having trouble sleeping and figured doing some work would help him get to sleep and that it was part of his chores that his parents would have expected to be done upon their return. He also said yes he had a couple of drinks and apologized. The officer, thought it was a bit strange,but since he was so close to his neighborhood told him to turn around and drive straight back home,amazingly enough letting him off with only a warning. The cop was a complete idiot in my opinion. Had he only checked inside one of those bags he would have prevented the beginning of 16 more unnecessary murders committed by Jeffrey 9 years later! Anyhow,Jeff returned home and buried the body parts under the crawlspace of his Ohio home where he grew up at. None of this was mentioned in this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/El-Chapo-Guzman-His-Life-of-Crime-Audiobook/B01N5R515I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A deranged serial killer who apparently melted into the crowd was picking up hookers and sadistically torturing them, leaving some girls wondering if there was a real-life Dr. Frankenstein out there attempting to create his own personal plaything from pieces of his dismembered victims. Some working girls were butchered in seedy hotel rooms, their heads, hands or breasts sliced off, their remains then set ablaze in an effort to dispose of any incriminating evidence. Others narrowly escaped death, but only after enduring hours of terrifying torture that included brutal bite marks, surface knife slashes and stab wounds that all served as bloody foreplay for frenzied sexual assaults. Survivors were found bleeding and delirious, unable to remember much due to the cocktail of drugs they'd been given by their assailant. But their bodies told a horrific story that was almost worse than death, and the sadistic calling cards left by the serial killer would eventually tie together victims in this true crime murder spree that crossed two states. It wasn't until one victim's screams grew loud enough that Richard Cottingham, an American serial killer who was part narcissist, part sadist and all evil, was finally caught by police as he fled his hotel room carrying his bag of torture devices. His capture allowed them to close the books on some of the most horrific murder cases in US history.

Members Reviews: What a Butcher! Yikes. This book (which is part of a series) is done in more of a factual narrative style rather than the typical true crime "story" (its NOT Ann Rule style). You wont get all sorts of those juicy little descriptive scenic tidbits that make you feel as though you were really there, but you certainly WILL get all the morbid details of each murder/crime he committed! The brutal things that Richard Cottingham did to these women had me clutching onto my chest and wincing. I was unfamiliar with this case before, so it was quite an introduction! Just when I thought he couldnt possibly do much worse...he did! I only wish it had been a bit longer, as I found myself wanting to know even more about this sinister maniac. This is a great way to "sample" some of the lesser known (to me) cases, and I will certainly check out the other crime titles done by this author, since he chooses to write about the more unique killers...I really enjoyed this book. I am not one to nit-pick a narrator, but honestly, in MY opinion, I think the narrator committed the REAL crime here, since he turned an otherwise VERY interesting book into one that made me focus instead on how he *SAID* the word SAID...which was rather strongly, distracting, and done after a (strange) pause. He would be much better suited to reading the NPR News. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Bayou-Strangler-Audiobook/B076FB8X1C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Highly recommended true story about an incredibly bad man First of all, let me state that perhaps I am triple biased towards enjoying this book, because 1) I got the book for free to review, 2) I am a former law enforcement officer, and 3) I am a writer and have written a successful non-fiction book about law enforcement. Of course I would argue that at least points 2 and 3 would make me MORE critical than average, but regardless I wanted to provide full disclosure. In short, I loved this book. I read it in two sittings; the writing is tight, well paced, roped me in, and kept me engaged. This is definitely the most fascinating (and worst) serial killer that I had never heard of. The crimes and sheer number of victims are staggering, and what this guy did to them is almost beyond description (but yes, the book succeeds in that department; it even made me squirm which is no easy feat). Some might see this as enjoying a book at the expense of the victims; I see it as a way of honoring the victims by understanding the truth of what happened. You could neatly dismiss these events as "assaults", but if this had happened to me I would want people to know what happened so justice could be served accordingly. If you enjoy true crime and want to learn about a true and incredibly awful serial killer, look no further. It definitely feels a bit like watching "True Detective", but this story is ACTUALLY true. To sum up, highly recommended! A Quick Read, and Very interesting Ronald J. Dominique was one the most prolific, yet least known, serial killers in U. S. history. Between 1997 and 2006, Dominique raped and strangled twenty-three men, between the ages of 17 and 40. The reason that his name is less-known than other serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer had much to do with the profile of his victims. Almost all the men that he killed were poor, mostly with criminal backgrounds. The overwhelming majority of the victims were African American, and many were low-level male prostitutes or drug addicts, who Dominique lured to their deaths through promises of money for sex acts. Known as the Bayou Strangler, Dominiqueâs victims were all murdered near the poorer suburbs of New Orleans. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Letters-from-Alcatraz-Audiobook/B00NSY2Z9Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A love story with tragic ending - a lover who was accused (testified) for killing her boyfriend and was later on held out guilty by a single juror and was sentenced to life imprisonment. However, the previous trial, which put the accused into anticipated life imprisonment, is currently being questioned by a juror who claimed an untold story of the case.

Let's take a look at a different side of this common yet one-of-a kind murder case, which has gotten the interest of the people and attention of media in US. Find out who Jodi is and her journey that led her into prison. Is the sentence given judicious or a bit exaggerated?

Members Reviews: They could have done something great with this , but imho , it fell flat. Not enough detail for this to be written and about those who study the murderer themselves. It was a bit boring . A great read. Very interesting to hear about notorious criminals ... A great read. Very interesting to hear about notorious criminals from the perspective of the psychologists that evaluated them. An insightful book into the criminal justice system and the role of mental health professionals in the system. Like so much of our society main stream media has had a strong influence on the messages we receive. This book presents these same stories from a very different lens and through the telling of these stories we learn a different perspective of the mentally ill, as well as what it means to be not criminally responsible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Closet-Full-of-Coke-A-Diary-of-a-Teenage-Drug-Queen-Audiobook/B014RKIJF6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This intimate diary gives readers a fast-paced glimpse of the couples speedy rise to riches, and their inevitable descent. These wannabe drug lords of the 1980s New York-to-Florida drug scene end their story only three years later with an untimely death, betrayal, and revenge. Here is a true account of drug dealers whose obsession with money, power, sex, and glamor drives them to a lifestyle of deceit and recklessness, ending in tragedies that destroy lives forever. This is no ordinary memoir; this is Memoir Noir From the Author: I wanted the foolish girl I once was to tell her story without interruption. The result is a diary written like a novel. There is no reflection or analysis. There is a salacious story full of colorful characters and dialog, told by the teenager who lived it. Drug dealers have an interesting ethos unknown to outsiders. They live by elaborate rules and codes, and use intricate methodology to conduct business. They are far more organized than people imagine, and they see themselves as business people and entrepreneurs. Serious dealers who want success don't use drugs and they deal to other dealers, not to users. Readers have called it "haunting," "a car wreck you can't look away from," "a roller coaster ride," and "Alice in Wonderland meets Scarface."

Members Reviews: a riveting and touching story the author brings you into her world for two years while she gets involved with the drug trade and the life surrounding it. as a reader, one empathizes easily with her through the whole thing. it leaves a lasting impression. well worth it. buy this book. HORRIBLE!!!!!! The accents that the narrator used was absolutely horrible. I couldn't finish the book!!!! Noooooooo latch key kid gone bad i loved the narrator of this book. she really made this common story come alive.....she made me feel like the characters were my friends too! Very disapointing What would have made Closet Full of Coke: A Diary of a Teenage Drug Queen better? For a book written about someone 30 years ago it was pretty direct and specific. The person reading the book was WAY to dramatic and mispronounced WAY to many words. Has Closet Full of Coke: A Diary of a Teenage Drug Queen turned you off from other books in this genre? No, I am just turned off the the Auther and the person that read the book. How could the performance have been better? Less dramatization better pronouncing of words. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment Any additional comments? I had high hopes for this book but all around I have been let down. I am starting to thing the people writing reviews for this book are friends because nothing about this girls life was all that bad. She had horrible parents but no abuse either mentally or physically she should count herself lucky. What is see is a Brat that dropped out of school to sell drugs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Who-Killed-Versace-Understanding-A-Cunanan-Audiobook/B06WCZQRZR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

To this day, "drinking the Kool-Aid" is a popular phrase in America to refer to people who blindly follow a person or idea without thought, and the event at Jonestown was the deadliest deliberate act involving Americans in history until the 9/11 attacks. In addition to those deaths, Peoples Temple members also murdered a handful of others on the same day, including journalists, a member trying to leave Jonestown, and Congressman Leo Ryan. Almost from birth, Jones believed he had a higher calling, and after being immersed in various Christian churches and both political and religious doctrine, Jones founded the Peoples Temple in Indianapolis in 1955, when he was still in his mid-20s. While that might have been an unusual course in life for most Americans, Jones was hardly the first to take such a path, and indeed, his group expanded at a remarkable pace in the 1960s, which included a move to California after Jones claimed to foresee a nuclear attack on Chicago and the destruction of Indianapolis. By the 1970s, services at the group's Temple attracted thousands of visitors, even as Jones increasingly criticized Christianity and the Bible. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Mon, 27 Mar 2017 03:01:22 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Jim-Jones-and-the-Peoples-Temple-Audiobook/B06XSWKT71 thebookvoice.com 01:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good Overview This book is the story of the infamous Jim Jones and the People's Temple religious cult, which resulted in the mass murder-suicide in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978, during which nearly 900 people committed suicide . It was deadliest deliberate act involving Americans in history until the 9/11 attacks. The book describes the unusual childhood of Jim Jones who always believed he had a higher calling, and founded the Peoples Temple in Indianapolis in 1955. The author uses extensive quotes from Jones and various members to describe the events which led to the change from a religious group to a zombie like cult of personality. The narrative is augmented with excellent photographs. The facts leading up to the mass suicide are re-told in straightforward prose. However, what is missing, I found is the motivation of the people who joined the People's Temple, gave all of their possessions to Jim Jones, obeyed him without dissent, moved entire families to an isolated area of Guyana and finally, poisoned themselves and their loved ones. The book discusses this only superficially and to me, this is the most compelling and interesting part of the story. So much information It had so much more information. The things that I didnt know about this tragedy just blew me away. One Star It was not what I expected. scary history truly scary history lesson....it kept my interest thru the book Why? this book is extremely difficult to give any stars to because of the subject matter. The book handled the topic of Jim Jones and the Peopleâs Temple in a concise manner. I do not understand why the members of Jim Jonesâs church followed him like he was the Messiah. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Between-Good-and-Evil-Audiobook/B002V1A51A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: an autobiography more than a career retrospective What did you love best about Between Good and Evil? fascinating and insightful, but more about the life and career of Depue and less about criminal profiling. Still a great read, and the presentation is fantastic, but maybe more of the author's life and less of the details of his career than you might be expecting. Also, there is a consistent religious aspect to the author's life. It does not supersede his commitment to the science of forensics and his work at large, but anyone with a hard anti-religious agenda might lose interest before finishing this book (the author commits himself to religious study, but never loses sight of his role as an objective observer). My suggestion is that regardless of you theological inclination, listen to his whole book. When all is said and done: a fantastic voice performance, a great read, and a definite recommendation. *WARNING: THIS BOOK DETAILS EXTREMELY HEINOUS VIOLENT CRIMES. AVOID THIS TITLE IF THAT IS PROBLEMATIC FOR YOU* Were the concepts of this book easy to follow, or were they too technical? very accessible and easy to follow, though some details may be too much for some people, due to the violent nature of the author's work. What does Paul Michael bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Paul Michael brings to this work exactly what I would hope for, which is nothing flashy. He reads the book in the sort of even, presentational tones that one would expect sitting in on an FBI debriefing, nothing more or less. I find the greatest problem I have with audio books is readers trying to put too much stylzation into their reading. This book was read in a genuine and straightforward tone that was completely in keeping with the text. Any additional comments? A great reading of a very good book. Slow at times, but a great experience over-all. Fascinating This book was a fascinating listen and the narrator was quite good. Although the book is largely about his life, it adds wonderful context to his career as an FBI profiler and the origins of this science. Inspiring True FBI Story As a rule, I don't like books written by FBI agents. Many strike me as self-serving portrayals of self-proclaimed super heroes. Between Good and Evil is the great exception. Roger Depue's powerful and emotional story explains so much about the minds of the sociopaths we all know by name; Bundy, Berkowitz, etc., and takes the reader on a journey through the life of an exceptional law enforcement officer, teacher, Marine, cleric and philosopher. The story would be a great work of fiction, but it's remarkably true story that speaks of the one in a million people out there, monsters, who for all you know could be living next door. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/One-Thing-Led-to-Another-Audiobook/B004D5I83E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Nothing much new I don't know what I was expecting with this book, but whatever it was I don't think I got it. The narrator was very annoying and maybe that affected my judgement, but I did enjoy Chopper's earliest books much better. Chopper As great as always. Although some stories starting to get repeated from earlier books. But, due to what this book is supposed to be. It makes sense Flogging A Dead Horse. Absolutely nothing new and very drawn out. if you've never heard of Chopper Reid, then it's maybe worth the listen. Unfortunately for the rest of us.... it's pretty much the final cash cow of CR's life and a pretty drab 8 hours to get through. Great book Great book great Read and very very well narrated.

Members Reviews: Outstanding Norman Mailer does a fantastic job of relating the facts and theories of the Kennedy tragedy. He weaves enthralling story of the personalities in Oswalds life. I learned many new details and got a better insight into what I already knew, about Oswald and his family. Although long I never found the book tedious. Wonderful narration. Do Not Stop Here What made the experience of listening to Oswald's Tale the most enjoyable? Christopher Lane's performance, which is superb. Would you recommend Oswald's Tale to your friends? Why or why not? Yes it provides some valuable perspective on Lee Harvey Oswald, the person. Which character as performed by Christopher Lane was your favorite? N/A Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? At times, yes. Any additional comments? I have studied the JFK assassination for over a decade and have read dozens of books over that time. Mailer's Oswald's Tale has helped to augment my research, as the book provides a valuable perspective on Lee Harvey Oswald's life and character. It succeeds as a well-researched, if incomplete, biography of an individual who remains largely unknown save for his association with the event that made him infamous. Mailer's portrait of Oswald reveals a self-important misfit who, after repeated failures to enact his will upon society and even his family, was presented with a chance at infamy the murder of a president and took it. It's a believable premise. The problem, though, is that Mailer equates Oswald's disillusionment to a smoking gun, but he offers very little substantive evidence that Oswald did in fact kill the president, and that he did so alone. Granted, much more evidence has been uncovered and disseminated since the book was published in 1995 thanks in large part to the JFK Assassination Records Review Board which came after, but Oswald's Tale ignores most of the ballistic evidence and all of the forensic evidence that was known at the time. Instead, Mailer focuses solely on the question of whether Oswald had the capacity for the act. As if that is sufficient for conviction. Mailer seems satisfied to make a conclusion from a character study based largely on conjecture. Reader's of Oswald's Tale would be wise to understand the evidence before making a similar leap. The best account I have ever read Having always been fascinated by the Kennedys, the dreadful JFK assassination has always puzzled me. I have lost count of the amount of books/articles I have read on the subject. This is, however, by far the best account. The meticulous research is incredible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killers-The-True-Crime-Story-of-Ted-Bundy-Audiobook/B0765BTK6Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

From the time he left the brutality of upstate New York's Coxsackie Reformatory, he worked for "Wiseguys", committing armed robberies, collecting for the Mob, and dreaming of the day that he would "get his button". He never made it into the Mafia's inner sanctum. Why? He was too crazy and too violent. Hooked on drugs and alcohol, Vince was a loose cannon, so dangerous that his own crew considered taking him out. This is his story, told in his own voice. It's the story of a guy who, by all rights, should be dead or in prison today. Come along for the ride in a story of true crime like you've never heard before. "Ciacci's colorful New York accent sounds like he's straight from central casting. His delivery is casual and captivating. He presents his life as is, without apology, and often ends his stories with a self-deprecating chuckle that seems to suggest he can't believe his past himself." - Publishers Weekly (audio review) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Vince Ciacci) Tue, 11 Apr 2017 11:32:60 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Mobshot-Audiobook/B06XY83S13 thebookvoice.com 09:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really don't think there was any editing at all. I usually roll my eyes when someone complains about editing I have noticed it but never complain. But this was done so poorly I can't help but complain . But Vince I wish you the best and admire you. Don't waste your time! This is the most racist, sexist repetitive book I've listened to and I've listened to many. He even says a young girl who was gang raped asked for it! He repeats himself over and over from chapter to chapter. Can't figure out why this gets high ratings. great book very authentic. it's like having a conversation with someone. great mafia stories and criminal stores. plus inspirational of how you can turn your life around from drugs and alcohol. Heartwarming This was truly a heartfelt story of a man's struggle to do what he knew was necessary to survive. Brilliant I was absolutely hooked from beginning to end, the way this man has turned his life around is astonishing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Cullotta-Audiobook/B0091GWMK0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great story, silly narrator Would you consider the audio edition of Cullotta to be better than the print version? I haven't read the print version Any additional comments? The narrator does a good job when speaking in his own voice, but when he tries to impersonate the various mob characters it gets pretty silly. He makes Tony "The Ant" Spilotro sound like a cartoon character. I almost stopped the program the first time I heard him do it. If the content hadn't been so good I might have returned it for a refund. Awesome Story! could use better narration! I love this story as Casino is one of my favorite movies. I know most of the true facts behind the story and this gives yet another in depth perspective. I would have given all five stars but the narrator is quite awful as he tries to use voices for different characters. he makes Tony Spilotro sound like a calamity cowboy or something and it's not consistent throughout his story. It kind of drove me nuts but I liked the book so I put up with it. Great read though! Excellent story, godawful narration the narrator does corny voices for every character. he's really really bad at it so it got annoying really quick Narrator RUINED it completely Narrator RUINED it completely by using wrong voices for wrong characters, "makes" Italian 1950-70s mobsters/criminals sound as if they were pimps from present day with high-pitch voices and Mississippi accent. Instead of "watching" CASINO, you're listening to Chris Rock on stage. A must read! Well detailed, honest and very open. In a way this story is very sad as to how horrifically a father treated his son. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Memoirs-of-a-Mule-Audiobook/B078MPYTX6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Ponzi's Scheme Subtitle: The True Story of a Financial Legend Author: Mitchell Zuckoff Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-05 Publisher: Books on Tape Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 210 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Ponzi may have been a charlatan, but he was also a wonderfully likable man. His intentions were noble, his manners impeccable, his sales pitch enchanting. Born to a genteel Italian family, he immigrated to the United States with big dreams but no money. Only after he became hopelessly enamored of a stenographer named Rose Gnecco and persuaded her to marry him did Ponzi light on the means to make his dreams come true. His true motive was not greed but love. With rich narrative skill, Mitchell Zuckoff conjures up the feverish atmosphere of Boston during the weeks when Ponzi's bubble grew bigger and bigger. At the peak of his success, Ponzi was taking in more than $2 million a week. And then his house of cards came crashing down, thanks in large part to the relentless investigative reporting of Richard Grozier's Boston Post. In Zuckoff's hands, Ponzi is no mere swindler; instead he is appealing and magnetic, a colorful and poignant figure, someone who struggled his whole life to attain great wealth and who sincerely believed, to the very end, that he could have made good on his investment promises if only he'd had enough time. Ponzi is a classic American tale of immigrant life and the dream of success, and the unexpectedly moving story of a man who, for a fleeting, illusory moment, attained it all. Critic Reviews: "Zuckoff...tells Ponzi's story amicably and briskly, and keeps the complicated financial intricacies understandable." (The New York Times Book Review) "Zuckoff's biography of Ponzi is meticulously accurate, based on memoirs and newspaper accounts of the day, weaving the story of the rise of this small-time Italian immigrant with that of Richard Grozier, second-generation editor of the Boston Post."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Very enlightening Having heard of a Ponzi Scheme nearly all my life, it was very, very interesting to find out where and how it all started (and ended). This certainly falls into the "...it seemed like a good idea at the time..." category. I enjoyed this book very much. An odd book What does this book have going for it? It has a great narrator & a brisk style of writing. What does this book have going against it? Alot of extraneous material shoved in to make it thicker, a fairly despicable main character who is painted somewhat sympathetically by the author, a relatively simple-minded fraud (unlike two other books on tape I have recently listened to off of Audible -- on Enron & on LTCM) that does not have enough finance intricacy to be of significant interest. Oh, I should say that the book is probably worth reading just so you know where the term Ponzi scheme came from. I am sorry that I am not more enthusiastic about it. A great book I have seldom enjoyed a book more, and Grover Gardner's reading as always is the best! An inciteful look at the 20's and at the shambles that was (and still is?) Boston politics. Surprise yourself! Sympathize with a crook! Where does Ponzi's Scheme rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? About the second or thrid best book I've listened to. Who was your favorite character and why? It is hard not to sympathize with Charles Ponzi, who had a brilliant idea put forgot to put the paperwork in the mail. And forgot to do the real work too. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Dangerous-Odds-My-Secret-Life-Inside-an-Illegal-Billion-Dollar-Sports-Betting-Operation-Audiobook/B01K39EBOS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Inside in a different way This story does not focus on the day to day operation of a sports book. Its not a how-to. This inside look, deals with the personal side of running an illegal sports book in the late 80s to mid 90s. Interesting from that perspective, more like a dated history. I Really enjoyed this audio book When I chose this book it was because of the sports betting connection, but It was so much more than that. This was a great audio book. It has a little bit of everything, gambling, action, adventure, and even romance. I highly recommend it. Fast Paced I really enjoyed this story. I t was fast paced with lots going on and I very quickly got to know and like the central characters. it's not a happy or glamorous story. I found it a bit gruesome and depressing in places but it was interesting because it is based on truth. Serious & Entertainig? Not ! I thought this was going to be a real life book. Instead it reads like a Harlequin romance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Long-Way-Home-Audiobook/B00B2B4AOS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Long Way Home Subtitle: A Young Man Lost in the System and the Two Women Who Found Him Author: Laura Caldwell Narrator: Laura Caldwell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-13 Publisher: Story Avenue LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 207 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Nineteen-year-old Jovan Mosley, a good kid from one of Chicago's very bad neighborhoods, was coerced into confessing to a crime he didn't commit. Charged with murder, he spent five years and eight months in a prison for violent criminals. Without a trial. Jovan grew up on the rough streets of Chicago's Southeast Side. With one brother dead of HIV complications, another in jail for arson and murder, and most kids his age in gangs, Jovan struggled to be different. Until his arrest, he was. He excelled in school, dreamed of being a lawyer, and had been accepted to Ohio State. Then on August 6, 1999, Jovan witnessed a fight that would result in a man's death. Six months later, he was arrested, cruelly questioned, and forced into a confession. Sent to a holding jail for violent criminals, he tried ceaselessly to get a trial so he could argue his case. He studied what casework he could, rigorously questioning his public defenders. But time after time his case was shoved aside. Amiable, bright, and peaceable, he struggled to stay alive in prison. As the years ground on, he'd begun to lose hope when, by chance, he met Catharine O'Daniel, a successful criminal defense lawyer.

Charged with murder, he spent five years and eight months in a prison for violent criminals. Without a trial. Jovan grew up on the rough streets of Chicago's Southeast Side. With one brother dead of HIV complications, another in jail for arson and murder, and most kids his age in gangs, Jovan struggled to be different. Until his arrest, he was. He excelled in school, dreamed of being a lawyer, and had been accepted to Ohio State. Then on August 6, 1999, Jovan witnessed a fight that would result in a man's death. Six months later, he was arrested, cruelly questioned, and forced into a confession. Sent to a holding jail for violent criminals, he tried ceaselessly to get a trial so he could argue his case. He studied what casework he could, rigorously questioning his public defenders. But time after time his case was shoved aside. Amiable, bright, and peaceable, he struggled to stay alive in prison. As the years ground on, he'd begun to lose hope when, by chance, he met Catharine O'Daniel, a successful criminal defense lawyer.

Members Reviews: Compelling and important What made the experience of listening to Long Way Home the most enjoyable? The story was compelling both in and of itself and as told by the author. The fact that it was non-fiction underscored the importance of the story. Jovan is portrayed in a very real and human way and his story is made all the more scary in how the system can fall down. What does Laura Caldwell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Laura as author and narrator brings a vibrancy to the story. Her relationship with the experience is conveyed subtly and does not overpower the story/narration but does suffuse it with a sense of her own point of view and urgency. Look passed the flaws--It's a great story This true story is so good. It's heart warming, suspenseful, and sobering. You can feel the love and respect that the author has for the main character and it makes you love him too. The store moves along nicely, it's easy to follow, it's a well told, good story. With that said, be prepared for some flaws. The author is the narrator and the narration starts out just awful. She warms up and gets better, but the first couple chapters are almost unbearable. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/To-Die-For-Audiobook/B01MRZIA9F Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

King Enterprises Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: This true crime book follows the FBI's search for and capture of Darren Dee O'Neall, a serial killer whose ability to change his appearance kept him out of the reach of the authorities, and describes his violent sexual crimes.

But it was too late for the young woman whose dream of a hunk "to die for" became a chilling reality! Members Reviews: The Louis L'Amour Killer... Darren O'Neall is one pretty scary guy! Whooo. Reminds me quite a bit of Ted Bundy...fairly similar methods. Hunting for his desired prey, kidnapping if need be, and then raping and beating them to a bloody violent death. Besides being VERY viscous in his brutal attacks, he moves *SO* quickly into killing mode, that his female victims never expect, nor see it coming. He is also such a slippery fish that is nearly impossible to apprehend, as immediatly afterwards, he is changing his appearance, identity, location, car, etc. Because of this, witnesses seem to be describing a different person every time. It's a wonder they ever found him! One particular scene seemed all too real to me as I recall in my younger days doing the same thing - attending an "after hours party" amongst people you did not know that well - and in this story, the young lady never suspects that something horrendous is about to happen to her. I could almost feel that heart pounding moment when things turned from strange to sinister. One of the victims' mother, through her own personal determination to locate her daughters body, uncovers considerable evidence (and remains) that helps to convict Darren - just when it seemed like he was really going to get away with murder(s). Her tireless efforts are admirable, as many others in her situation would have simply given up or waited for the police to "do their job", however long that took. I cannot comprehend how it must feel to discover your own childs bones. Some of the other reviews have me baffled. A surprise *wtf* ending?? Can't tell what's real and what isn't?? Too much paranormal activity?? Whaaaat-Hunnnh?? With all due respect, did we read/listen to the same book? Because THAT version sounds totally awesome! Hahaaaa :-) As for the phrase "occult phenomena" mentioned in the book subtitle, there really wasn't enough of that element in this case to justify even putting that on the cover in my opinion. But, it certainly was a well written "cat and mouse" thriller for sure. You'll be convinced this guy is never going to be stopped! And as the author says, he does NOT spare any details (Bravo!) as to exactly what Darren did to these women! It was unbelievable. I was wincing. I really liked this narrator too. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Breaking-Point-Audiobook/B01LY7VUDX Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Breaking Point Author: Suzy Spencer Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-27-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: While her husband Rusty, a NASA engineer, was at work, Andrea Yates filled the family bathtub with water and systematically drowned their children, ages six months to seven years. As her eldest child lay lifeless in the bathtub and the bodies of her four youngest rested in her bed, Andrea, a devoted Christian wife and former nurse, called the police to confess her sin. The investigations by the prosecutors, by the defense, and by the press delved deeper into Andrea's mind and history, revealing a disturbing web of suicidal tendencies, depression, and psychoses. While her husband struggled between his overwhelming grief and his loyalty to his incarcerated wife, an outraged nation asked one question after another: How could anyone do this? What would drive a mother to kill her children? Drawing from hundreds of hours of interviews, court testimony, and medical records, including new access to psychiatric and legal files, Breaking Point delves deeper into an all-American family struggling with the darkness of a mental illness that twisted a loving mother into a killer obsessed with hellfire.

Title: Avery Subtitle: The Case Against Steven Avery and What Making a Murderer Gets Wrong Author: Ken Kratz Narrator: Bradley Hayes Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 71 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: It's time to set the record straight about Steven Avery. The full record - including evidence never before revealed - makes his guilt clear. The Netflix series Making a Murderer quickly became a huge hit, with over 19 million viewers in the US in the first 35 days. The series left many viewers with the opinion that Steven Avery - a man falsely imprisoned for almost 20 years on a rape charge - was railroaded into prison a second time by a corrupt police force and district attorney's office. Viewers were outraged, and hundreds of thousands demanded a pardon for Avery. The chief villain of the series: Ken Kratz, the special prosecutor who headed the investigation and prosecution. Kratz's later misdeeds - prescription drug abuse and sexual harassment - cemented his guilt in the minds of the viewers. This book tells what you don't know. Making a Murderer raised convincing doubts about Avery's guilt. But now Ken Kratz puts those doubts to rest with Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What Making a Murderer Gets Wrong. In it, Kratz demonstrates how the Netflix series leaves out critical evidence, including bombshell facts known only to him. Avery systematically erases the uncertainties introduced by the series, confirming once and for all that Steven Avery is guilty of the murder of Teresa Halbach. What's more, Kratz even provides online access to detailed evidence so listeners can explore every aspect of the case - the largest criminal investigation in Wisconsin history. Avery tells the full story of the investigation, filled with details and insights unknown to the public. Then Kratz candidly addresses the aftermath. He openly discusses his struggle with addiction and the disturbing behaviors he engaged in, which led him to lose everything: his job, his wife, his house, his car, and his reputation. While our indignation at the injustice of Steven Avery's first imprisonment makes it easy to believe he was also falsely accused of Halbach's murder, Avery and the evidence it presents - examined thoroughly and dispassionately - prove that in this case, the system worked as it should. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ken Kratz) Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:51:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Avery-Audiobook/B01MYXBPNM thebookvoice.com 04:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Super Boring I assumed that there would be more information the public wasn't privileged to during the Netflix series as well as trial. It definitely wasn't. It was primarily him talking about the series and information provided. There was nothing telling or thrilling in this book whatsoever. The story teller was good, but the content wasn't interesting at all A must listen I had my suspicions when members of my family urged me to tune in to the "terrible injustice" portrayed on "Making a Murderer". I told one of them, there is another side to this that is NOT getting equal time. This is that equal time. And I would have to say that the evidence is not overwhelming - it's undeniable. For anyone who knows or suspects that the media often misrepresents the facts - you need to listen to this book. this book is so so..... I listened to this book as objectively as I could. There were points that were very interesting and caused me to think. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Personal-Foul-Audiobook/B00E8JNAN8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Disgrace that is the NBA Would you consider the audio edition of Personal Foul to be better than the print version? Not at all. The reader sounded like he was in a hurry and his pronunciation was atrocious----a problem, unfortunately all too common in audio books. Initially, I thought that the mispronunciations were limited to proper nouns (players' names), which while still inexcusable, would at least be tolerable. But alas, that was not the case. What other book might you compare Personal Foul to and why? I can't think of another book with which to compare Personal Foul, but I found it to be an honest and candid representation of the circumstances leading to the problem----i.e. no whining or constantly making excuses, blaming others etc. In fact, to my shock, I found myself empathizing with the author. How did the narrator detract from the book? Yes, primarily with the plethora of mispronunciations. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I was moved by learning the extent----not the existence--of corruption and incompetence in the NBA management and officiating. If I continue to watch NBA games, and I still haven't decided upon that, it will certainly be with a jaundiced eye. Is pro basketball a sport, like college basketball where fouls are called on the basis of objective criteria, or a "performance," where the object is to keep high profile players on the floor "no matter what"? Clearly it's the latter, and this is evident across the board. Any additional comments? Great book. Couldn't put it down. good book, narrator is average at best though. revealing book about Tim's story and refereeing in the NBA....however if the narrator is important to you I'd listen to a sample first. Great read/listen for sports fans Captivating true story from one of the NBA's biggest scandals. Della Penna does a great job narrating & keeps your attention & focus through all the highs & lows. Good content Maybe hire a reader who has actually watched a basketball player. Couldn't pronounce the names of many well-known basketball personalities. Learn how to pronounce players' names I get taken out of the zone when the reader doesn't know how to pronounce the name of the athlete. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Parents-Who-Killed-Their-Children-Audiobook/B00K6KW31I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Filicideis the intended act of parents killing their children. The act isalso regarded as an offence since it amounts to murder. It appears to very unnatural for a parent to end the life of his child. As much as this appears to be inhumane and unimaginable, there are some parents who kill their offspring. We consider mothers to hold the highest status in our lives. For a son, there is no greater being on this planet than his mother. She gives birth to the child, cares for him when he is at his most vulnerable stage, unable to eat or drink, and she feeds him her own milk. Suffice to say, the role of a mother is one that cannot be explained properly in words. What she does for her child is the real example of true love; she does everything for him, without ever wanting anything back. The case files in this book, go against everything we have been taught and have learned. We perceive mothers to be the epitome of care and support, yet mankind teaches us cruel lessons.

Have no recommendation as to the purchase of this book either way. Personally, I'm satisfied. What aspect of Don Klines performance would you have changed? Don Kline tends to speak in phrases, which was okay once I caught his rhythm. Pretty much a matter-of-fact narrator. Any additional comments? The book isn't great but it's reasonably well done and, based on the stories I knew beforehand, quite accurate. Eh .. " wasn't great. While Don Cline is not the worst narrator, there is room for improvement with voice inflection. I thought it would have been better if the book delved deeper in individual cases but for the price it delivered what is expected. A very shallow cut and dry account of several well known and a few not so well known , cases of mothers mainly murdering there kids. " Wow Would you listen to Parents Who Killed Their Children again? Why? Yes, I think I catch something different that I missed the first time. What other book might you compare Parents Who Killed Their Children to and why? Possibly.....Andrea Yates....are you there alone? Have you listened to any of Don Klines other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first. Any additional comments? I highly recommend this in paperback, ebook or audible. Very intriguing.

Title: My Thoughts Be Bloody Subtitle: The Bitter Rivalry Between Edwin and John Wilkes Booth Author: Nora Titone, Doris Kearns Goodwin (introduction and notes) Narrator: John B. Lloyd Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 10-19-10 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 147 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: My Thoughts Be Bloody, a sweeping family saga, revives an extraordinary figure whose name has been missing, until now, from the story of President Lincoln's death. Edwin Booth, John Wilkes's older brother by four years, was in his day the biggest star of the American stage. He won his celebrity at the precocious age of 19, before the Civil War began, when John Wilkes was a schoolboy. Without an account of Edwin Booth, author Nora Titone argues, the real story of Lincoln's assassin has never been told. Using an array of private letters, diaries, and reminiscences of the Booth family, Titone has uncovered a hidden history that reveals the reasons why John Wilkes Booth became this country's most notorious assassin. The details of the conspiracy to kill Lincoln have been well documented elsewhere. My Thoughts Be Bloody tells a new story, one that explains for the first time why Lincoln's assassin decided to conspire against the president in the first place, and sets that decision in the context of a bitterly divided familyand nation. By the end of this riveting journey, listeners will see Abraham Lincoln's death less as the result of the war between the North and South and more as the climax of a dark struggle between two brothers who never wore the uniform of soldiers, except on stage. Critic Reviews: "Titone's account paints a colorful panorama of 19th-century theatrical life, with its endless drunken touring through frontier backwaters and showbiz pratfalls. Neither deep nor tragic, her John Wilkes is oddly convincing: the first of the grandiose hollow men in America's cast of assassins."

This is a wonderful, totally absorbing biography of Edwin and John Wilkes Booth. Nora Titone has an almost magical ability to create a sense of place and time as she follows the Booth brothers from their family farm to New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. It really is about both brothers, and the look at 19th-century American theater fully justifies the dual focus: how is it possible that Edwin Booth (and their father Junius Brutus Booth -- not to mention their resourceful mother!) has been overlooked for so long? There is plenty of time as well in this generous narrative to develop a number of figures peripheral to the main story, like Julia Ward Howe and her husband "Chev" (short for "Chevalier"); John Brown; and a number of theatrical colleagues and managers. John B. Lloyd provides a clear, well-paced reading. My only regret is that Titone leaves the description of the actual conspiracy to kill Lincoln to others; but reading this makes it clear what direction John Wilkes Booth was headed in, and why. I loved it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in Lincoln, the Civil War, the American theater, or the 19th century in general. Gripping psychological drama. The author's wonderfully descriptive language and the sweeping epic quality of this book make it a perfect audio read. You'll really feel transported back to the era. Not just the Civil War, but steamboats, the Gold Rush, a time when Baltimore was the 3rd largest city in America, and much more. And then there's the adultery, alcoholism, an immigration story, sibling rivalry... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Marc-Lepine-The-True-Story-of-the-Montreal-Massacre-Audiobook/B00W689NHK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: With extreme hatred of feminism in his heart, a heavily armed Marc Lépine entered the University École Polytechnique de Montreal. After allowing the male students to leave, he systematically murdered 14 female students, an act that feminists would label "gynocide". But what motivated Lépine to carry out this heinous crime? Was he a mass murderer, madman, cold-blooded killer, misogynist, or political zealot? Or was he simply another desperate person frustrated with his powerless status in this world? The case of Lépine has been debated among the most prestigious criminologists in the country. This account entails some of the most controversial opinions of these experts to date.

This was my fourth book on the crimes Canada series. The others, while a bit stilted were still interesting peeks into crimes I was unaware of a s a true crime buff. I downloaded this because it was a crime I was familiar with but thought this might have more detail. However about an hour in it the narrative veered suddenly and jarringly into an MRA rant that basically equated Lepine with battered wives and ended on a screed against feminism. I listened to the end only because I couldn't actually believe what I was hearing. This book was ten minutes of intro. 30 minute rehash of the crime and the rest was word vomit. I cannot un-recommend this book enough. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/That-Fiend-in-Hell-Audiobook/B07581R4SZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The flow of riches lured confidence men, too - among them Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith (1860 - 98), who with an entourage of "bunco-men" conned and robbed the stampeders. Soapy, though, a common enough criminal, would go down in legend as the Robin Hood of Alaska, the "uncrowned king of Skagway", remembered for his charm and generosity, even for calming a lynch mob. When the Fourth of July was celebrated in '98, he supposedly led the parade. Then, a few days later, he was dead, killed in a shootout over a card game. Soapy Smith in Legend is a tour de force of historical debunking that documents Smith's elevation to western hero. Tracking down some 100 retellings of the Soapy Smith story, Spude traces the efforts of Skagway's boosters to reinforce a morality tale at the expense of a complex story of town-building and government formation. The idea that Smith's death had made a lawless town safe served Skagway's economic interests. Spude's engaging deconstruction of Soapy's story models deep research and skepticism crucial to understanding the history of the American frontier. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Catherine Holder Spude) Fri, 01 Sep 2017 07:00:47 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/That-Fiend-in-Hell-Audiobook/B07581R4SZ thebookvoice.com 08:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The story of Soapy Smith is a TV series waiting to happen, with all the action, intrigue, and back-story to keep any audience captivated. Spude expertly separates the fact from legend with terrific insight but it was the narration that brought the story to life for me. Gray's voice pulls you into the story of the frontier city Skagway, the politics of the time, Soapy's gang, and the infamous con-man and crime boss himself - Jefferson "Soapy" Smith. This is a must "listen-to" for anyone who wants the real story of Soapy Smith! Soapy Smith When listening this book when Im driving to work, I learned a lot of the people in Skagway, Alaska during the gold rush days. the author, Spude, has research and reveal Soapy Smith who was painted as an awesome villain of the past wasnt really awesome. As for Spudes writing, it seems a little elementary when I was listening to it. The opening chapters seems like a middle school students when they write their essays. The story itself has a nice flow to it, but wasnt one of my favorite stories to listen to. As for the narrator, Gray is one of my favorite narrator in the audio book world. He has a great sense of storytelling. Worth the time. Read it. I truly recommend this book to everyone, especially those involved in separating legend from truth in the myths of the old west. I'm not sure you'll reach one conclusion. How could you? Legend and myth evolved in too many ways and directions each with a role to be no more than one story. A great tale of intrigue, con men, and the west. If you love history and stories of the west you will love this telling of one of the greateat con men. The story comes to life and brings to life the legend of soapy smith. Honestly it makes life today seem dull and boring. Check it out you will not be disappointed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/2015-Serial-Killers-True-Crime-Anthology-Volume-2-Audiobook/B00SAEJJYQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It sounded in parts as if he paused at line breaks instead of in relation to punctuation or narrative content. It sounded as if he was reading the material for the first time while recording. Poor narator What did you like best about 2015 Serial Killers True Crime Anthology: Volume 2? What did you like least? Didn't finish listening because narrating was so awful. It was so distracting I couldn't concentrate on what was being said. I have never had this experience with a narrator before. Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again? Maybe, if different narrator Would you be willing to try another one of Don Klines performances? No Did 2015 Serial Killers True Crime Anthology: Volume 2 inspire you to do anything? No Awful ! Don Kline should only read at bedtime for his kids so the rest of us don't have to suffer. What a terrible narration! Great book, distracting narrator. What made the experience of listening to 2015 Serial Killers True Crime Anthology: Volume 2 the most enjoyable? I loved that each chapter was a different individual, some longer than others. This made it intriguing to read, I was always looking forward to the next chapter. What was one of the most memorable moments of 2015 Serial Killers True Crime Anthology: Volume 2? Because each story was unique, there wasn't necessarily a single memorable moment. The book in its entirety was memorable. What do you think the narrator could have done better? Yes, the narrator was at times distracting. His kadence sounded.... like a bad...... William ...Shatner .. impression. Not to mention at really odd times. "Four hundred & sixty six..... dollars... or.... five hundred & thirty five... POUNDS." It was comical then annoying as it really distracts from the story. Also, his impressions of characters were at times inappropriate, specifically the woman yelling "oh my god" over & over. I thought it over-indulged. No lack of compassion narrator voice lacked any life in it , considering the fact that he was describing the horrific death of real victims there should have been a compassionate tone , No there wasn't just monotone voice . Was not happy with this purchase , At All !! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killers-Case-Files-Audiobook/B00I4YSJDE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I fount the chapter on female serial killers ( specifically the part on Wood and Graham ) chilling . Horrid Quality What would have made Serial Killers Case Files better? A good editor and reader You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The subject and info is interesting, if you can follow it with this reader Any additional comments? Bad writing with incorrect English, and a reader who paused mid sentence.... Sounds done with a sentence, then adds on a few more words. Mumbles sometimes and clearly leaves words out. It gets worse as the book goes on.

Members Reviews: The Worst Audiobook! What disappointed you about Serial Killers True Crime Anthology 2014? This may be a great book in print, but this audio version is terrible! The narrator marks errors directly to the narrative, but it's not edited out. He fumbles over words and it's just a mess. Terrible! Different written voices of one engrossing topic Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Anyone interested in True Crime and the inner workings of a Serial Killer this book is packed with plenty variety and engrossing studies of what makes a Serial Killer What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? His ability to read some of the names without a flaw, my only complaint but didn't really take away from my enjoyment was the two spots where narration editing was not removed where he would say start over and repeat the sentence. Would you listen to another book narrated by Don Kline? Yes as long as the subject was of interest to me. Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? Many facts from the different authors and their own special interest in the subject of a Serial Killer. Any additional comments? I read plenty of True Crime and found this book very entertaining and informative. I'm a fan of the authors of this book and have collected other works from them. This book is a collection of new cases I have not seen in other book forms. There seems to be different forms of True Crime some is wrote like a mystery movie such as a Ann Rule book, and some take a police point of view that is very entertaining. The collection in this book is another form of Just The Facts that take away all the fluff and just entices you into a study of a criminal mind. Oh...... My...... Gosh. He reads.... Like this This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? The actual written book might be great. I can't tell, because the reader halts in mid sentence, often multiple times. You can't follow the story because his CONSTANT pausing makes it impossible. This is not a case of a few stumbles. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Killers-of-the-Lonely-Hearts-Audiobook/B00EYIPVM6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What made the experience of listening to Killers of the Lonely Hearts the most enjoyable? This book was a good overview of the crimes of Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck. It is a short book, and not in-depth, but it is good and gives the facts. At the end, there is a bonus of short previews of R. Barri Flowers other book, including a fiction novel based on Jack the Ripper. The short preview was quite intriguing. I did enjoy this book as well. Fascinating! If you could sum up Killers of the Lonely Hearts in three words, what would they be? Fascinating, compulsive, listening What other book might you compare Killers of the Lonely Hearts to and why? I am beginning to love these true crime shorts which are written by R Barri Flowers, and cannot wait to read more, they are incomparable because they are unique true crimes. Any additional comments? Killers of the Lonely Hearts had me hooked from the start. I had never heard of the serial killers Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, however I found their story fascinating. It seems amazing in this day and age that people could be so innocent, however this was a totally different world, in the 1940s, crimes such as these were virtually unheard of. The normal man or woman on the street would have had no idea that people could be so callous, cruel and deceitful, preying on lonely, vulnerable women and then steal from them, before murdering them. The author also added a bonus true crime short The sinful killers which is another fascinating story about Gregory Marlow and Cynthia Coffman who killed at least five people in 1986. And, if this is not enough, he has included two extra tasters. The first is an excerpt from Mass Murder in the Sky, another of his best-selling true crime shorts. The second is from his novel Dark Streets of Whitechapel, about probably the most famous serial killer of all time Jack the Ripper. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Carlos-the-Jackal-Audiobook/B01NC079KY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Why was this book written and why didn't somebody with some knowledge of Entebbe read this book before publication I usually like the short books by Charles River Editors but I strongly dislike this book Carlos the Jackal: The Life of the 20th Century's Most Notorious Terrorist. I will provide a quote from location 295 that will explain some of my dislike "the nine Jews among the 248 captives were already set free, but when agents of the Mossad and combined elements of the Ugandan army and police stormed the plane in the middle of the night, the terrorists were killed." This event is called Entebbe, if Israel had worked with Uganda at this time, at a minimum the hostages would have been moved and they may have all been killed. My other irritation about this book is that I don't understand why it was written because it is not clear what terrorism events that Carlos the jackal participated in. In theory he was a terrorist James Bond. I do not recommend this book. Terrorist An interesting review of Carlos the Jackal's life. With witnesses and personal interviews there are still questions as to what is truth and what is fiction. Good accounting Relatively comprehensive account of the real 'Jackal' albeit a bit lacking on some details which are probably not thoroughly known anyway. Fun and quick read for those interested in the genre. Too Short Too Little Too Late Carlos the Jackal offers little if real insight. The book appears to be a compilation of newspaper research with perhaps a magazine article thrown in for effect. Evidently the Charles Rivers publishing house is trying to make a career from publishing short compilations of historic people and events. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/A-Lawless-Breed-Audiobook/B01HOQV68M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Lawless Breed Subtitle: John Wesley Hardin, Texas Reconstruction, and Violence in the Wild West Author: Chuck Parsons, Norman Wayne Brown Narrator: Jim Sartor Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-29-16 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: John Wesley Hardin! His name spread terror in much of Texas in the years following the Civil War as the most wanted fugitive, with a $4,000 reward on his head. A Texas Ranger wrote that he killed men just to see them kick. Hardin began his killing career in the late 1860s and remained a wanted man until his capture in 1877 by Texas Rangers and Florida law officials. He certainly killed 20 men; some credited him with killing 40 or more. After 16 years in Huntsville prison, he was pardoned by Governor Hogg. For a short while, he avoided trouble and roamed westward, eventually establishing a home of sorts in wild and woolly El Paso as an attorney. He became embroiled in the dark side of that city and eventually lost his final gunfight to an El Paso constable, John Selman. Hardin was 42 years old. Besides his reputation as the deadliest man with a six-gun, he left an autobiography in which he detailed many of the troubles of his life. In A Lawless Breed, Chuck Parsons and Norman Wayne Brown have meticulously examined his claims against available records to determine how much of his life story is true, and how much was only a half truth, or a complete lie. This deeply researched biography of Hardin and his friends and family will remain the definitive study for years to come. The book is published by University of North Texas Press.

Title: A Lawless Breed Subtitle: John Wesley Hardin, Texas Reconstruction, and Violence in the Wild West Author: Chuck Parsons, Norman Wayne Brown Narrator: Jim Sartor Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-29-16 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: John Wesley Hardin! His name spread terror in much of Texas in the years following the Civil War as the most wanted fugitive, with a $4,000 reward on his head. A Texas Ranger wrote that he killed men just to see them kick. Hardin began his killing career in the late 1860s and remained a wanted man until his capture in 1877 by Texas Rangers and Florida law officials. He certainly killed 20 men; some credited him with killing 40 or more. After 16 years in Huntsville prison, he was pardoned by Governor Hogg. For a short while, he avoided trouble and roamed westward, eventually establishing a home of sorts in wild and woolly El Paso as an attorney. He became embroiled in the dark side of that city and eventually lost his final gunfight to an El Paso constable, John Selman. Hardin was 42 years old. Besides his reputation as the deadliest man with a six-gun, he left an autobiography in which he detailed many of the troubles of his life. In A Lawless Breed, Chuck Parsons and Norman Wayne Brown have meticulously examined his claims against available records to determine how much of his life story is true, and how much was only a half truth, or a complete lie. This deeply researched biography of Hardin and his friends and family will remain the definitive study for years to come. The book is published by University of North Texas Press.

(Bill O'Neal, author of The Johnson-Sims Feud) Members Reviews: Claptrap According to these authors, nearly everything John W. Hardin said was a lie. Wish Mr. Hardin was still alive so you could have called him a liar to his face you fearless Ink-slingers. Don't think you'd have the guts. Great history of John Wesley Hardin Which character as performed by Jim Sartor was your favorite? All of them, he is so talented! Any additional comments? A Lawless Breed: John Wesley Hardin, Texas Reconstruction, and Violence in the Wild West Written by: Chuck Parsons , Norman Wayne Brown Narrated by: Jim Sartor This book really intriqued me. I knew very little about John Wesley Hardin and boy did this open my eyes. What little I thought I knew was all wrong. He had quite a life! Wow, everytime I read about these characters during the old west and civil war times I am just astonded that any of them lived very long at all the way they acted and behaved! The wounds and injuries that the indured, I am so surprised more didn't die of infection. This book really went deep into the lives of John, his friends, family, places he lived, his crimes, the ones he was accused of, family, and more. Wonderfully detailed. I didn't get lost at all, shock! Easy to understand and follow. I looked up the images of him on the internet and the younger Hardin was quite a looker! Too bad he was such a heartless killer. This was an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. The narrator was awesome. He made listening to this book a real joy. He was able to do so many different voices consistently and with such distinction that I could recognize the different voices as who they should be. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Did-She-Kill-Him-Audiobook/B00Q78P4C8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Financial Times) Members Reviews: Fascinating true story This well- researched analysis of a much-celebrated case is well written and thought provoking, providing and in-depth look at the lives of the women of the Victorian age, their treatment under the rules of society and the rule of law. A really fine true crime document, and a great read. Victorian Travesty! I listened to this story thinking how different the case would have been resolved if it was 100 years later. Whether or not she "did it" we will never know. However, what we do know is the defendant was never really tried for the crime committed. This was expertly read and the story was quite gripping. Style of Gothic Mystery Well worth the listen. Of course it is always grating on the ear when a woman tries to do a man-voice, but thankfully there was little dialog for the men. For those people who are not acquainted with how poorly women have always been treated, well, those people might shale their heads in disbelief. But the book is well done and well-read. It does allow for vivid mental images to be drawn, and that is the best part of books and audio books. interesting but.... great subject matter...but so many details and social points beaten to death. so so. C- Flawed No suspense, inadequate research, too "creative" for non fiction. I had hoped this was more like The Murder of Helen Jewett, but it is not at all that quality. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Dark-Side-of-the-Felt-Audiobook/B01NCZYRJE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It was about a local and familiar case. What was most disappointing about JT Hunters story? The NARRATOR... it was so very painful to sit through his broken sentences- it was all I could do NOT to turn it off... I actually kept looking at the minutes remaining in the story whenever he would pause and pick up the sentence on the next line down.... It was read like a grade 7 student was put on the spot in front of a classroom and forced to read an awkward essay... PAINFUL TO SIT THROUGH. Would you be willing to try another one of Don Klines performances? NEVER.... NEVER EVER... I also bought another serial killer audiobook and was so glad that this one was over to start a new narrator, but when I started to play the next audiobook, it was HIM AGAIN, as if he was haunting my road trip!!! I don't understand how he got hired to do this kind of work... it's seriously wrong. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Caught-in-the-CrossFire-Audiobook/B00BNJZ27S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It gives a realistic picture of life on the inside, the complex politics and dangers of prison life.You are either the badass or the prey, there is no neutral ground where you can just stay out of the politics and constant dangers and not get involved. My father was a corrections officer on death row in the 1960s and was taken hostage in a riot in 1967. As I got older, I came to realize the fine line between prisoner and guard. I never got tired of the private conversations where I learned so much about what made him as jaded and closed as the prisoners he worked with.By the time he was in his 60s he was a felon himself. I look forward to reading more. As for the reader who got hung up on the grammar, I would say that it is the story, not the grammar that is important. Glenn is in prison, not UCLA. I felt that the minor grammatical imperfections made the book better than a proofread, spell checked piece of perfection. Thank you, Glenn, for a very good book that brings the reader into your world. Namaste' Riveting Once again, I found myself completely absorbed by the tales of BJ and Damon in this brief glimpse into life in California's Centinela State Prison. These short stories are addictive and I find myself glued to my Kindle, totally riveted by the authors story. I am generally not into short stories, but I admit, I am hooked on these. I have read them totally out of order, so they skipped around a bit. But seriously, it is not that hard to figure out. They sometimes overlap a little. But even so, I personally am enjoying them. And the fact that the author is doing good after finally getting out of the system makes it that much better. A real inspiration. Looking forward to the next book. My integral component Glenn never disappoints! Another interesting story, suspenseful and quick-witted. I am a fan for life. As a recovering heroin addict and three times convicted felon I grab on to hope like it's going out of style because I want to live and preferably outside of prison. The reason why these books are seeing the light of day is because Glenn (or BJ) survived the battle with drugs and is one of the chosen ones who made it out of California prisons in one piece. That in itself is a miracle! Having lived a similar life I can tell you that I lost count of how many life's were taken by The Beast of street life, prison and drugs. My hat is off to Glenn for his hard work of writing. Rock on my brother! You give me hope everyday. Very scary. I have read 3 of his books and in the process of reading the 4th. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Ballad-of-the-Anarchist-Bandits-Audiobook/B0763TBKTD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits Subtitle: The Crime Spree That Gripped Belle Epoque Paris Author: John Merriman Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: For six terrifying months in 1911-1912, the citizens of Paris were gripped by a violent crime streak. A group of bandits went on a rampage throughout the city and its suburbs, robbing banks and wealthy Parisians, killing anyone who got in their way, and always managing to stay one step ahead of the police. But Jules Bonnot and the Bonnot Gang weren't just ordinary criminals; they were anarchists, motivated by the rampant inequality and poverty in Paris. John Merriman tells this story through the eyes of two young, idealistic lovers: Victor Kibaltchiche (later the famed Russian revolutionary and writer Victor Serge) and Rirette Maîtrejean, who chronicled the Bonnot crime spree in the radical newspaper L'Anarchie. While wealthy Parisians frequented restaurants on the Champs-Élysées, attended performances at the magnificent new opera house, and enjoyed the decadence of the so-called Belle Époque, Victor, Rirette, and their friends occupied a vast sprawl of dank apartments, bleak canals, and smoky factories. Victor and Rirette rejected the violence of Bonnot and his cronies, but to the police it made no difference. Victor was imprisoned for years for his anarchist beliefs, Bonnot was hunted down and shot dead, and his fellow bandits were sentenced to death by guillotine or lifelong imprisonment. Fast-paced and gripping, Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits is a tale of idealists and lost causes - and a vivid evocation of Paris in the dizzying years before the horrors of World War I were unleashed. biacuaduc@gmail.com (John Merriman) Tue, 03 Oct 2017 09:01:42 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Ballad-of-the-Anarchist-Bandits-Audiobook/B0763TBKTD thebookvoice.com 09:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

John Merriman tells this story through the eyes of two young, idealistic lovers: Victor Kibaltchiche (later the famed Russian revolutionary and writer Victor Serge) and Rirette Maîtrejean, who chronicled the Bonnot crime spree in the radical newspaper L'Anarchie. While wealthy Parisians frequented restaurants on the Champs-Élysées, attended performances at the magnificent new opera house, and enjoyed the decadence of the so-called Belle Époque, Victor, Rirette, and their friends occupied a vast sprawl of dank apartments, bleak canals, and smoky factories. Victor and Rirette rejected the violence of Bonnot and his cronies, but to the police it made no difference. Victor was imprisoned for years for his anarchist beliefs, Bonnot was hunted down and shot dead, and his fellow bandits were sentenced to death by guillotine or lifelong imprisonment. Fast-paced and gripping, Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits is a tale of idealists and lost causes - and a vivid evocation of Paris in the dizzying years before the horrors of World War I were unleashed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Doctors-Who-Killed-Audiobook/B008Y28YUO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Holmes, and John Bodkin Adams. It is amazing that these people chose a profession to help save lives, but preferred to kill. Is it not their job to curtail suffering and death? We sometimes put our lives in the hands of doctors, trusting that our best interests are the most important to them. Thankfully, there are only a handful of doctors who have been inclined to murder their patients, and they do not represent the millions of doctors who genuinely care and uphold their oath.

Whatever you do don't buy this book. Worst book on audible. Do not buy this book I Thought Doctors Were Supposed To Be The Good Guy A somewhat weird, creepy, disturbing and unusual collection of stories about doctors who killed. These doctors became serial killers, mainly in their practices as they killed dozens and sometimes even more than 100 patients each that we are aware of. Theres also a special section in the book about female doctors who did the same thing, just in case anyone out there is thinking this is a guy thing. (Smile) The author goes into a great deal of detail about the typical characteristics and personalities of serial killers, and what makes them kill. That is very little comfort for anyone reading these stories, but it does help a little bit to understand to understand the basic profile of serial killers. This book probably is not for the faint of heart, but it is interesting nonetheless. Outragesly Bad! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? No-one! Would you ever listen to anything by RJ Parker again? Yes How did the narrator detract from the book? Terrible voice & made mistakes often You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No Any additional comments? For someone facinated with serial killers, one could be forgiven for believing that this set of case studies are for you - they arent! Beth MacEwan's slow drawl and constant mistakes demonstrate the non-existant budget for the recording. Back ground noise can be clearly heard with the creaking of a chair and something that sounds remarkably like another person.Put this altogether and you have a waste of money and/or credit. I would suspect that RJ Parker would be very disappointed!!! Doctors who Killed. Would you try another book from RJ Parker and/or Beth MacEwan? This book Sucked. The stories were bad and the narrator could not have been worse. Save your time and money. Entertaining Where does Doctors Who Killed rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Another very interesting non fiction that exposed something most people would not generally have knowledge of Who was your favorite character and why? None Have you listened to any of Beth MacEwans other performances? How does this one compare? I have not as yet Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? In parts it was disturbing Any additional comments?

This is the first book in the Recent True Crime Cases series by Peter Vronsky and RJ Parker, VP Publications, an imprint of RJ Parker Publishing. Members Reviews: Interesting book, but could have explained a lot more , this was mostly just an overview of the news reports about this case. This was an interesting book; but it did not meet my expectations about this book. There were a lot of questions about what really happened here, and also whether Christopher Dorner actually killed anyone or whether he was set up for some unknown reason. I followed this on the scanner when it was happening, and it was very obvious that the law enforcement intended to kill Dorner and not allow him to surrender, and just that alone makes me wonder about the whole incident. I was hoping for more than just a rehash of what was shown in the hews and on television. First in the NEW True Crime Cases Collection Rj Parker's 20th book is a controversial one no doubt. Chris Dorner was an LAPD officer who lost his identity and everything he held dear in his life when he was terminated. Dorner became a man full of rage and revenge. While I would have liked to have read more about Dorner's childhood, military and family life (I'm intrigued by a person's life and always seeking answers as to why they become who they are), Revenge Killings delves into why Dorner went on his killing spree. Dorner's childhood plays a part into why he snapped too. I remember following the manhunt while it unfolded but never fully understood why it was happening. This book shares the works of Dorner's manifesto and paints a picture as to what made him seek the ultimate revenge. No holds barred true account. Highly recommended! Another well written and entirely compelling read from true crime expert RJ Parker. Racism is a plague on our society and Parker deals with it head on in this no holds barred true account of Chris Dorner. Highly recommended for all true crime fans! You won't be disappointed. Go out in a blaze of Glory Chris Dorner, Cop with the LAPD, fired, why? he was only trying to point others wrong doing and he got the shaft. In his rage he took it out on others to kill, in the end of bullets and fire Chris lost his life. RJ did a great job in telling Chris story. Controversial true crime Well-written take on controversial issues involved with crime and law enforcement. This is a must-read for those interested in true crime. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Underdog-Audiobook/B0087GLHT2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good I really enjoyed listening about the prison system in CA. The story was very interesting. I would recommend. Captivating and Symbolic Would you consider the audio edition of Underdog to be better than the print version? UNDERDOG by Glenn Langohr is a well written true prison story fraught with emotion and detail. At the beginning of the book, the author and his wife visits an animal shelter to adopt a dog. The poor dogs were totally neglected in their cages, much like the prisoners in the hole, they too were in cages. The author reveals a story about the hunger strike and the beating of prisoners. You would never hear about this in the media. The book is true. It's fact of what's going on in the prison system. Ironically, this book was released just one day after prisoner Christian Alexander Gomez, 27, dies during the hunger strike in a California prison. CDC Hell on earth Really sad what the CDC system is doing to these inmate and their attorneys. Open your eye's to the CDC system in California. Narrator I like Glenn's books, but only when he narrates them also. This guy sounds like some accountant trying to be hard. Couldn't even finish Very boring What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? If there was less dull information and more of a story What could Glenn Langohr have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Have an interesting story to tell How could the performance have been better? Maybe being able to write a story with a beginning middle and end You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I cannot imagine. Poorly narrated accounts from newspaper reports. This is not an audiobook. What could RJ Parker have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The choice of narrator and quality of production are substandard. The book itself goes into no depth whatever. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator reads painfully slow and with numerous pronounciation and enunciation errors left uncorrected. This reading belongs on Librivox. It is not ready for commercial publication.

Title: The Highwayman Subtitle: Larry Eyler, the Hoosier Highway Killer Author: Brian Lee Tucker Narrator: Scott Zdanis Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Brian Lee Tucker Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: If there was ever a man that could be considered the personification of evil and cruelty, it was Larry Eyler. He was purely evil. He even believed in demons, and, considering his actions, might have wanted to be one himself. One of the many serial killers who struggled with the fact that he was homosexual, Larry Eyler was the youngest of four children brought up in Indiana, often beaten by step-fathers and sent to live by his mother with a bunch of other families. Eyler, a house painter and liquor store clerk, stalked the streets of mid-western cities and towns of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Wisconsin, even though he wasn't a "transient" by any stretch. He had three areas where he worked and played, as well as killed. He could be found in Greencastle, Indiana, where he worked in a liquor store, a friend's place in Terre Haute, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois, where he shared his space with not only his lover, but the lover's wife and kids. Living this way gave him a wide area to find victims to fulfill his violent sexual needs. And when he would be satiated, he would take out his anti-gay sentiments on his victim, usually ending up with the victim dead of stab wounds while bound, and even dismembered. In March of 1982, it all began. And like transient serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, Eyler literally got away with murder because of his usual MO; never or at least very rarely killing in the same area twice. But unlike his counterpart, Eyler did not attempt to cover up his crimes with false confessions or lies; he was proud of what hed done, and had readily admitted to his crimes upon capture. He enjoyed raping, torturing, and killing. This audiobook is not for the squeamish or weak of heart. It describes his crimes in vivid detail. If you are brave enough to go further, this is his story. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brian Lee Tucker) Tue, 02 Jan 2018 08:27:01 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Highwayman-Audiobook/B078P1VB3B thebookvoice.com 01:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Eyler, a house painter and liquor store clerk, stalked the streets of mid-western cities and towns of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Wisconsin, even though he wasn't a "transient" by any stretch. He had three areas where he worked and played, as well as killed. He could be found in Greencastle, Indiana, where he worked in a liquor store, a friend's place in Terre Haute, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois, where he shared his space with not only his lover, but the lover's wife and kids. Living this way gave him a wide area to find victims to fulfill his violent sexual needs. And when he would be satiated, he would take out his anti-gay sentiments on his victim, usually ending up with the victim dead of stab wounds while bound, and even dismembered. In March of 1982, it all began. And like transient serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, Eyler literally got away with murder because of his usual MO; never or at least very rarely killing in the same area twice. But unlike his counterpart, Eyler did not attempt to cover up his crimes with false confessions or lies; he was proud of what hed done, and had readily admitted to his crimes upon capture. He enjoyed raping, torturing, and killing. This audiobook is not for the squeamish or weak of heart. It describes his crimes in vivid detail. If you are brave enough to go further, this is his story.

(Kesselring) Albert Kesselring holds a strange place in the history of World War II. A commander in the Luftwaffe, he is remembered as much for the skill with which he oversaw the German armies as for his mastery of the air fleets. Called "Uncle Albert" by many of his men and "Smiling Albert" by the Allies, he was widely respected by men on both sides of the war and loved by many of his troops, yet he was responsible for massacres in occupied Italy for which he was condemned to death during the post-war trials. Ultimately, his sentence was commuted to one of life imprisonment, making him one of the few top Nazi leaders to pen memoirs after the war, but it goes without saying that Kesselring's time was marked by controversy. Kesselring had the skills of a politician and a diplomat, as well as those of a soldier, which carried his career through both World War I and World War II, and during the Second World War, he served in almost every theater of the fighting in Europe. He was undoubtedly a gifted commander, but one who served at a time when the German military was tainted with the evils of Nazism.

Members Reviews: Good soldier for a horrible regime, the career of Field Marshal Albert Kesselring This e-book describes in detail in the 40-year career of Field Marshal Albert Kesselring in the German military. The book explained that individuals such as Kesselring, whose parents were not part of the military hierarchy had a difficult time advancing in the German army of that era. In World War I, he demonstrated strong organizational and tactical abilities that would later allow him to rise to general and field marshal. He was allowed to continue his military service throughout the. Before World War II. Kesselring became a senior officer in the Luftwaffe in 1933. Kesselring preferred to lead from the front and fought in almost every theater of World War II. He was sentenced to death but avoided that fate. He was probably one of the best generals that the Nazis had. Anyone interested in World War II in the European theater would enjoy this book. "Great Book" This book was one of the best I have read about the Second World War. This Kesselring was a real officer, but the problem was that he should have been against Hitler instead adoring him. Don't get me wrong, I think there were better Officers in the American Military than he ever was, such as General George Patton and Dwight Eiesenhower. Without them the war would have lasted longer, but The Americans would have still won the war. "God Bless All of The American Men & Women" who have served in that time and the future wars. Excellent Read Interesting read.

In 1936, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was executed for the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. Almost all of America believed Hauptmann guilty; only a few magazines and tabloids published articles questioning his conviction. In the ensuing decades, many books about the Lindbergh case have been published. Some have declared Hauptmann the victim of a police conspiracy and frame-up, and one posited that Lindbergh actually killed his own son and fabricated the entire kidnapping to mask the deed. Because books about the crime have been used as a means to advance personal theories, the truth has often been sacrificed and readers misinformed. Hauptmann's Ladder is a testament to the truth that counters the revisionist histories all too common in the true crime genre. Author Richard T. Cahill Jr. puts the "true" back in "true crime," providing credible information and undistorted evidence that enables listeners to form their own opinions and reach their own conclusions. Cahill presents conclusions based upon facts and documentary evidence uncovered in his 20 years of research. Using primary sources and painstakingly presenting a chronological reconstruction of the crime and its aftermath, he debunks false claims and explodes outrageous theories, while presenting evidence that has never before been revealed. Hauptmann's Ladder is a meticulously researched examination of the Lindbergh kidnapping that restores and preserves the truth of the crime of the century.

It takes the reader fairly through the controversial and complex case without trying to "prove" Hauptmann's guilt or innocence one way or the other. What we can say for sure is that Hauptmann would on the same evidence today be very unlikely to be found guilty and executed. Robert Cahill shows up again and again the contradictions in the testimonies of many witnesses at the trial and the failure of the defence, partly for lack of money and partly because of incompetence, to exploit the weaknesses in the prosecution's case. This was indeed The Crime of the Century in more senses than one. No work of fiction can begin to emulate this saga and Cahill brings it to life with unequalled skill and insight. Five Stars Outstanding This is an excellent book that I found hard to put down This is an excellent book that I found hard to put down. The Lindbergh case has always fascinated me and I was always convinced that Hauptman was the victim of a miscarriage of justice, as was author. Cahill tells the story without his own spin giving only those details that can be corroborated by genuine evidence. The reader is left to draw their own conclusions although Cahill's own summary is thoughtful and fair. Well written, fast paced and thoroughly enjoyable, this is a great addition to the many books on the " Crime of the Century" Reads like a true crime story. Very well written. Years of research and considerable thought have been put into this book yet it reads like a novel.

Members Reviews: Snorefest + Horrible Narrator What disappointed you about Unsolved Serial Killings? The narrator sounds like she just came out of a coma and is just learning to read again. The entire book is the author repeating that unsolved serial killers have either gotten incarcerated for another crime, moved, or just stopped killing. If you just read the previous sentence, just read it again to yourself in a old lady comatose voice and you can save yourself 5 bucks. See Spot Run. Run Spot Run! Is there a way to give this book a negative number of stars? This should have been titled "Serial Killers For Dummies" If you like reading the dictionary and have never heard of serial killers in your entire life - this is the book for you...but you could still be bored to tears. For the rest of us - move along, nothing to see here. Poor Is there anything you would change about this book? I read many many adio books. This reader was very poor. Sounded flat and very slow like she was reading a newspàper outloud. Trying stringout length. Book poorly written. Just reading list. Really not very good How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? More inflection in voice More substance not just list of crimes How could the performance have been better? Another reader Awful. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? To be a 4 or 5 it would have had a competent reader. I suspect that they slow reading is meant to draw out the lack of information in the book. Has Unsolved Serial Killings turned you off from other books in this genre? It certainly has turned me from this author. Would you be willing to try another one of Beth MacEwans performances? No. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Unsolved Serial Killings? It needed more information not less. Any additional comments? I think Audible should withdraw the title and refund people's money. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Memoirs-of-William-T-Sherman-Audiobook/B002V1O5ZC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

If they want peace, they and their relatives must stop the war." These are the words of General William T. Sherman, with whom "scorched earth policy" will forever be linked. In his memoirs, the Union general describes the waning days of the American Civil War and his famous march through Georgia, culminating in the capture and burning of Atlanta. With frank, forceful words, the listener is brought to the front lines as Sherman wipes out 20,000 Confederate soldiers and sacks Atlanta - and in the process boosts Abraham Lincoln's re-election campaign. Editorial Reviews: In his own words, Union General William T. Sherman recounts the end of the Civil War. Both a brilliant military strategist and the controversial creator of the "scorched earth" policy, Sherman brought the Confederacy to its knees. Civil War enthusiasts will love Nelson Runger's performance. Clearly a master with vocal range, Runger makes this memoir an enjoyable listen.

Members Reviews: War Is Hell! A story that deserves re-telling This book is a definite must-read for anyone with more than a passing interest in the American Civil War. This excerpt covers the battles around Atlanta and Sherman's March to the See; an amazing story in its own right. Sherman, for better or for worse, must be identified as among the world's first 'modern' generals and his narrative is clear, crisp and uncompromising. Unfortunately as an audiobook, this offering is anything but. The sound is muddy with some sections barely understandable. This is one story that deserves to be re-told Incomplete. Audible Doesn't Have Other Volumes What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? First of all, the title appears in the search simply as "The Memoirs of William T. Sherman." It was only after I bought it that I saw it was only one volume covering the Georgia campaign. That should have been made clear in the title as it appeared before I bought it. The other volumes don't seem to be available on Audible, so I'm stuck with an incomplete set. Grant's memoirs, on the other hand, came all together (although 3 downloads, they were all one purchase). I was there! as aide deCamp If you could sum up The Memoirs of William T. Sherman in three words, what would they be? His real letters Any additional comments? The reading of the letters between Sherman and Grant make this book very real and personal. I felt like I was there on his staff when he was talking about the events of the day. General Hardy was smart to evacuate Savannah, otherwise the city would have ended up like Atlanta. Sherman was a ruthless commander but because of him and men like him, war is hell, but the actions taken are necessary! And the war has not stopped, just in a different place. Sherman wrote clearly even if he acted badly The audio quality is not good, but if you are interested in the American Civil War it is still worth listening to, as it offers an outstanding opportunity to peer into the mind of one of the most famous Northern generals. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Homicide-Audiobook/B06XHSM8JY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Serial Homicide Subtitle: Notorious Serial Killers, Book 2 Author: RJ Parker Narrator: Don Kline Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 03-13-17 Publisher: RJ Parker Publishing Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Serial Killers are hunters that prey upon fellow people. It is not uncommon for them to torture and rape their victims. They are sex offenders, rapists, child molesters, and some are even cannibals. They thrive on their victim's showing of fear which makes them feel the power of dominance and control. This is the second book in the Notorious Serial Killers series that features three male and three female serial killers. Between 1972 and 1978, John Wayne Gacy killed at least 33 boys and men in Illinois, of which, 26 bodies/skeletons were buried in the crawl space under his house. Also known as "Bind, Torture, Kill" because of his methods of killing, Dennis Rader killed 10 people in Kansas between 1974 and 1991. Edward Gein was a body snatcher and serial killer from Wisconsin. He would make items from corpses: lampshades made from facial skin, bowls made out of skulls, wastebaskets made from human skin. Aileen Wuornos killed seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. She initially claimed that her victims had raped her while she was working as a prostitute. She later confessed that this wasn't true. Between 1895 and 1901, Jane Toppan, a Nurse in Boston, killed at least 31 people using mixtures of drugs such as morphine and Atropine. Usually female serial killers murder for profit, Jane killed for sexual gratification.

No. I do not know which was worse, the writing or the narration. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Beth MacEwan? My six year old granddaughter reads more naturally. I wish I could have given the performance 0 stars. Any additional comments? ALWAYS READ THE REVIEWS! Big Disappointment Would you try another book from RJ Parker and/or Beth MacEwan? Not in my lifetime will I get another book done by Beth MacEwan. Who was your favorite character and why? N/A Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Beth MacEwan? Scott Brick, Bill Dufris, Grover Gardner. Anyone but MacEwan What character would you cut from The Serial Killer Compendium, Volume 1? N/A Any additional comments? The reader sounds like she's giving a lecture to third graders. Very cold and unpleasant diction with no personality at all. If I could I would like to return this download for a credit. Can I have a refund please? This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Perverse 12 year olds...maybe I'm being too hard and not taking into account the subject matter and intention of the book, but if you're looking for a dry compilation of facts presented at a 6th grade reading level, look no further. If you're looking for something a little more sophisticated I think Dr. Suess would do the trick. The book does present good information, and covers the subject of Serial Killers well, it just does it in such a disjointed and rudimentary manner it makes it hard stay engaged. The narrator doesn't help either, and may actually be to blame for the way this is received, for if this book is written at the level of a 6th grader, her literacy is at the level of a 5th grader, and that is being generous. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Colombian-Killers-Audiobook/B01CPS81I2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Colombian Killers Subtitle: The True Stories of the Three Most Prolific Serial Killers on Earth Author: Ryan Green Narrator: Ernie Sprance Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 03-10-16 Publisher: Ryan Green Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Colombian Killers explores the stories of three men who have forever tainted the lush fields of Latin America. This book narrates the sadistic acts of serial killers Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa. For these men, rape and murder were but the beginning of the horrors they inflicted upon the world. The fear their crimes inspire is not about their nature, the methodology, or even the victims. It is about who the killers themselves are. These men were motivated by perhaps the most chilling trifecta - sex, power and revenge. This book begins with three parts, each dedicated to one of these three monsters of modern-day Colombia. Once you've been edified with the general knowledge of the atrocities, we will delve further into the tiny details, the forgotten horrors, the thousands of ways that we as a society failed these men and, in so doing, shaped them into be the monsters they are known as today. Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa are among the most prolific serial killers in the world. Between them, they were convicted of 329 murders, but it's believed that the number they committed is over 750. Colombian Killers is not for the faint of heart, nor for the feeble of spirit.

Members Reviews: Colombian True Crime Any additional comments? This book looks at three brutal cases that are probably not known to you if you are in the English speaking world. I tend to like true crime books that go into a lot of detail, so of course three stories that are covered in an hour and forty five minutes are going to have less depth. Knowing that, I enjoyed the stories anyway. It's always interesting to hear about crimes that have been committed in foreign countries and how their judicial system differs from the one in my home country. These were some bad dudes; if you are sensitive to child abuse, I'd steer clear of this one! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Disturbing True Life Accounts of Serial Killers Disturbing True Life Accounts of Little Known Serial Killers. TARGET AUDIENCE: True life crime story that is not over editorialized. The author provides an accurate account of the actual facts of the stories of these abhorrent individuals. It makes you aware that are individuals who prey on the weak and downtrodden in every country and nation PROFANITY, SEX & VIOLENCE: Appropriate for all ages. Written in a way that describes the heinous crimes without using delving into details. NARRATOR: Excellent job narrating these accounts. OVERALL: I love to read about true crime, and this is a well written account of serial killers which you probably have not heard about in the English speaking world. Excellent book. Interesting Material, if you like true crime... What did you like best about Colombian Killers? What did you like least? The narrator did an excellent job in his tone and pacing. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? The information given is, as always, the most interesting part of any true crime book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Shake-the-Devil-Off-Audiobook/B002V1A6XM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After listening for about an hour, though, I thoroughly regretted my purchase. This story would perhpas be worthy of a seven-to-ten page magazine article; the author has spun it out into a whole book by adding tedious background factoids and glorified parentheticals that are irrelevant to the storyline and do not move it along at all. There's not much of a story here to start with. The reader is not particularly good. Save your money and/or Audible member credit for something better. Not really interesting The whole story is told in the introduction, and the details of the book don't really add much of interest. The reader reads with too much expression, as though he's reading to children, or giving a sermon. At the end are three hours of the story of New Orleans, but I'm not going to listen to all of it. Enough already. Disappointed, I just wanted the story What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The story is such a compelling one, I didn't need the author's opinion on the state of society and politics in the wake if Katrina. What could Ethan Brown have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Tell more about Addie, and less opinion. Great Insight Great story and narration, very respectful. I was hoping it would be darker, but it still held my attention all the way though. Its ALL about Zach Addie had a life before she moved to NOLA. I know this directly from her best friend from Durham, NC. Listening to this book in its entirety, it seems almost like the author in a way, justifies the gruesome murder and dismemberment and cooking of his beloved girlfriend, Addie Hall. I gathered more information about Addie as an actual human being that had feelings, dreams, talents, and love for life from her soul sister from NC. This is a biography and nothing more about Zach. Why the author even included Addies name in the title ( in addition to her photo on the cover), shows a slimy and pathetic attempt to increase sales. No one in Addies past was interviewed (only those that knew her in NOLA). No family interviewed, no friends from her life in Durham. This author makes me sick. And so does this book. Addie DID NOT deserve the horrid end of her life. But this author seems to justify it by using PTSD CONSTANTLY throughout. Crap. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Lock-Up-Diaries-An-Inside-Look-at-Drug-Wars-in-Prison-Audiobook/B009TAHSKW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Lock Up Diaries is a depiction of life inside prison and a look at the political landscape between races and gangs. The Mexican Mafia, drug cartels, Aryan Brotherhood, and the black gangs all collide. The amazing details of prison life - code words that prisoners use, explanations of how they communicate from cell to cell - really make you feel you have entered a different world, or like you are watching a movie about prison life. The story shows how race riots that can kill prisoners can be started for very small and seemingly unimportant reasons, and how violence permeates every aspect of prison life. In Lock Up Diaries, a drug debt is on the verge of sparking a gang war. Half of the proceeds are donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. Critic Reviews: "The Lock Up Diaries is a harrowing account of what it is like in California's most hellacious prison. The vivid characters, the pace, the look at how drug debts affect the political landscape, are entertaining to say the least."

The Mexican Mafia, drug cartels, Aryan Brotherhood, and the black gangs all collide. The amazing details of prison life - code words that prisoners use, explanations of how they communicate from cell to cell - really make you feel you have entered a different world, or like you are watching a movie about prison life. The story shows how race riots that can kill prisoners can be started for very small and seemingly unimportant reasons, and how violence permeates every aspect of prison life. In Lock Up Diaries, a drug debt is on the verge of sparking a gang war. Half of the proceeds are donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. Critic Reviews: "The Lock Up Diaries is a harrowing account of what it is like in California's most hellacious prison. The vivid characters, the pace, the look at how drug debts affect the political landscape, are entertaining to say the least." (Jeniffer flowers, UCLA) Members Reviews: WE LOCK OUR SOCIETIES MOST VIOLENT & EVIL MONSTERS TOGETHER IN PRISONS BUILT FAR AWAY OUT OF SIGHT AND OUT OF MIND! Then what? We take monsters our society can create and once they prove themselves almost irredeemable we lock them away in prisons that are usually far away from urban population centers. Prison is a culture where prison officers and staff need each other to sustain the profit center prisons have become. Prisons are rewards to impoverished communities in distant parts of states neglected by cities and large industry \ businesses. These counties that are often filled with people, poverty and political savvy vie for prisons to be constucted. Let's face it a state or federal job in a prison is usually a great paying position for slow minded slack jawed mouth breathing losers. Prisons will hire any sane person who has a bare bones basic high school education, strong muscles, a clean record, a drivers license and a well connected "friend" to recommend them. So prisons are a mix of people who need each other to survive. Prisons mix two classes of people the victim class which are the prisoners and the victimizer class which is the prison staff. Stir in mega doses of racial hate, ignorance, stupidity, gangs, drugs, rape, vice and politics and watch all the excitement that results. Lock Up Diaries is an unflinching look at life in prison laying bare all the evils and hostilities that prison engenders. Amazon.com hates when I review a book about prisons because; I am brutally honest about the product and story told therein. Thank God I've never been to prison as an inmate but, I taught prisoners computer skills, community living skills and job seeking skills in preparation for release. The evils I saw were beyond beleif. I saw both the best and worst in humanity play out before me while teaching in prisons. I saw prison corrections officers who tried within the limits of the institution to treat their charges fairly. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Hunt-for-KSM-Audiobook/B007MCVIFA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Hunt for KSM Subtitle: Inside the Pursuit and Takedown of the Real 9-11 Mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Author: Terry McDermott, Josh Meyer Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 03-26-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: The definitive account of the decade-long pursuit and capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the terrorist mastermind of 9/11. Only minutes after United 175 plowed into the World Trade Center's South Tower, people in positions of power correctly suspected who was behind the assault: Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. But it would be 18 months after September 11 before investigators would capture the actual mastermind of the attacks, the man behind bin Laden himself. That monster is the man who got his hands dirty while Osama fled; the man who was responsible for setting up Al Qaeda's global networks, who personally identified and trained its terrorists, and who personally flew bomb parts on commercial airlines to test their invisibility. That man withstood waterboarding and years of other intense interrogations, not only denying Osama's whereabouts but making a literal game of the proceedings, after leading his pursuers across the globe and back. That man is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and he is still, to this day, the most significant Al Qaeda terrorist in captivity. In The Hunt for KSM, Terry McDermott and Josh Meyer go deep inside the US government's dogged but flawed pursuit of this elusive and dangerous man. One pair of agents chased him through countless false leads and narrow escapes for five years before 9/11. And now, drawing on a decade of investigative reporting and unprecedented access to hundreds of key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly - as well as jihadis and members of KSM's family and support network - this is a heart-pounding trip inside the dangerous, classified world of counterterrorism and espionage. Critic Reviews: "The Hunt for KSM is an important book, detailing one of most secretive and fractured investigations of our time. Fabulous reporting and great storytelling make it one of the best thrillers I've ever read. That it is all true and such a gripping story just makes the accomplishment of McDermott and Meyer even more astounding. I couldn't put this one down and neither will you."

(Michael Connelly) Members Reviews: FINALLY THE TRUTH This is a very well written and researched book and well read. My take away is that the Bush White House, by giving the lead on the investigation to the CIA (an intelligence gathering agency) and keeping the FBI (an investigative service) out of the loop really hurt the whole process. The whole out-sourced "enhanced interrogation techniques" fiasco was worse than a waste of time. In the end, maybe by accident, terrorism seems to have calmed down and the most important terrorists are either dead or in custody so I guess all's well that end's well. Bottom line? Worth reading. Insight Into Murder Networks Enjoyable and well-researched. The authors interviewed numbers of key players in the U.S. and melded their research into a good, consistent narrative. I was impressed by how fine a job the narrator did handling Arabic names and inflectionskudos to Mr. Ganim. Lots of details on the rivalry and jockeying between CIA and FBI. It's interesting that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was a low-level U.S. terror-buster target for three years, because he was NOT a member of al-Qaeda (despite what other sources stateWikipedia, for example). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/William-Bonin-Audiobook/B01MDR9869 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: William Bonin Subtitle: The True Story of the Freeway Killer Author: Jack Rosewood Narrator: Gaius M. Thynne Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-16 Publisher: Wiq Media Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In the 1970s and early '80s, southern California was shocked when dead boys began turning up with disturbing regularity alongside some of the state's most heavily traveled freeways. Victims of sadistic torture, the dead boys and young men had been raped and strangled, and their untimely deaths were eventually attributed to the Freeway Killer, an elusive psychopath whose trail of death would go down in California history as one of the worst true crime stories in the country. While the Freeway Killer ultimately turned out to be three different men, one of them was truck driver William Bonin, one of the most prolific and sadistic among American serial killers. Bonin usually preferred to work with an accomplice, and the lust killer and his cronies brutally raped and tortured his victims - Bonin loved the sounds of their screams - before strangling them and dumping them on the side of the road like garbage. Bonin confessed to committing 21 murders in the span of just a year, although many experts believe he was responsible for the deaths of many more missing young men. He was executed in 1996, and in this detailed serial killer biography, you'll learn the background that might offer some understanding of what makes a man go off the rails and become a deranged lust killer. Of course, spine-tingling story of a man whose youngest victim was a 12-year-old who was waiting for a bus to take him to Disneyland might be one that causes you to sleep with the lights on for weeks after listening to this book. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack Rosewood) Fri, 28 Oct 2016 22:39:56 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/William-Bonin-Audiobook/B01MDR9869 thebookvoice.com 02:52:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Monotone voice and mispronounced as well as obviously misread words just killed the suspense for me and made this interesting true tale just very hard to listen to. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/High-Audiobook/B00KY1HEZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: High Subtitle: Confession of an International Drug Smuggler Author: Brian O'Dea Narrator: Kevin T. Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In the early 1980s, Brian O'Dea was operating a $100 million a year, 120-man drug smuggling business, and had developed a terrifying cocaine addiction. Under increasing threat from the DEA in 1986 for importing seventy-five tons of marijuana into the United States, he quit the trade - and the drugs - and began working with recovering addicts in Santa Barbara. Despite his life change, the authorities caught up with him years later and O'Dea was arrested, tried, and sentenced to ten years at Terminal Island Federal Penitentiary in Los Angeles Harbor. A born storyteller, O'Dea candidly recounts his incredible experiences from the streets of Bogot with a false-bottomed suitcase lined with cocaine, to the engine compartment of an old DC-6 whose engines were failing over the Caribbean, to the cell blocks overcrowded with small-time dealers who had fallen victim to the justice system's perverse bureaucracy of drug sentencing. Weaving together extracts from his prison diary with the vivid recounting of his outlaw years and the dawning recognition of those things in his life that were worth living for, High tells the remarkable story of a remarkable man in the late-1980s drug business and why he walked away. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brian O'Dea) Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:34:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/High-Audiobook/B00KY1HEZO thebookvoice.com 11:45:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: If youâve ever dreamed of being a smuggler but lacked the courage, this bookâs for you âHighâ is more than a thrilling adventure story; and more than a gripping tale of prison life. It is a philosophical essay on life choices, consequences, loves found, loves lost, loyalty, betrayal, camaraderie, isolation, family.... Written in a somber tone, with calm objectivity and devoid of self-pity, OâDeaâs prose simultaneously thrills and frightens the reader. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Decisive-Moments-in-History-The-Assassination-of-Abraham-Lincoln-and-the-Manhunt-for-John-Wilkes-Booth-Audiobook/B00XI4AGP4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Decisive Moments in History: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the Manhunt for John Wilkes Booth Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Neal Arango Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In the 19th century, the Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle famously wrote, "The history of the world is but the biography of great men," popularizing the "Great Man" theory that the course of history is shaped by a select few heroic individuals. While historians and others continue to debate the accuracy of the Great Man theory of history, there is no question that the course of history is permanently altered by decisive moments in time, where a different result would have produced drastically different outcomes. Charles River Editors' Decisive Moments in History examines the events that changed history forever and set the world down the path it finds itself on today. Until April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors of his time, and President Abraham Lincoln had even watched him perform. But his most significant performance at a theater did not take place on the stage. That night, Booth became one of history's most infamous assassins when he assassinated President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC. Booth was a member of the prominent 19th century Booth theatrical family from Maryland and, by the 1860s, was a well-known actor. But he was also a confederate sympathizer who dabbled in espionage, and he was increasingly outraged at the Lincoln administration. Although Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had surrendered days earlier, Booth believed the war was not yet over because Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston's army was still fighting the Union Army, so he and his group of conspirators plotted to kill Lincoln and other top officials in a bid to decapitate the federal government and help the South. Perhaps not surprisingly, the actor's flair for the dramatic came at a cost to the plot. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Tue, 12 May 2015 03:07:02 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Decisive-Moments-in-History-The-Assassination-of-Abraham-Lincoln-and-the-Manhunt-for-John-Wilkes-Booth-Audiobook/B00XI4AGP4 thebookvoice.com 01:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent reading about Lincoln Assassination For those who enjoy history , this is a very informative and clear narration by Mr. Arango . Time well spent ! How do you pronounce Appomattox? What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A better narrator Has Decisive Moments in History: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the Manhunt for John Wilkes Booth turned you off from other books in this genre? No Have you listened to any of Neal Arangos other performances before? How does this one compare? I do not recall ever hearing him before. I do not think I would listen to another book that he narrates. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? It seemed historically accurate, and gave several new historical insights I had not heard before. Any additional comments? How do you pronounce Appomattox? In my entire life, including being born in Virginia, having parents and relatives from the south and watched and listened to many forms of media in which I have heard the pronunciation of the word "Appomattox", I have never heard it pronounced as A-pom-a-tocks. Each time I heard it it made me cringe. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Cary-Stayner-Audiobook/B01MFAHQLT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Cary Stayner Subtitle: The True Story of the Yosemite Park Killer Author: Jack Rosewood Narrator: Gaius M. Thynne Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-16 Publisher: Wiq Media Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: While some would say that American serial killer Cary Stayner was influenced by family tragedy - his already-troubled family was shattered when his brother was abducted for seven years and held as a sex slave before his heroic return inspired the miniseries I Know My First Name Is Steven - in reality, Cary Stayner's true crime story is much more ominous. The handsome, outdoorsy guy with a love for marijuana, nude beaches and the Sierra Nevada mountain range had been harboring fantasies of brutally killing women years before his brother's abduction turned the Stayner family upside down. And in the annals of historical serial killers, Stayner's story stands out, because for months he made one of the most beautiful places on earth a nightmare for women when California's majestic Yosemite National Park became his own devil's playground, and he finally found himself unable to control his long-suppressed urges. Because he didn't look menacing, the man one FBI agent compared to actor Tom Laughlin was able to gain the trust of his victims, and three vacationing women who were staying at the lodge where he lived and worked during the busy tourist season and a nature-loving teacher who help kids become stewards of the land she loved made that fatal mistake before they were savagely, sadistically murdered. The biography of serial killer Cary Stayner and his psychopathic crime spree leaves spine-tingling chills, because as far as the outside world was concerned, he was a fairly normal guy who found himself uncontrollably compelled to kill. Stayner has been on death row in California's famed San Quentin for more than 10 years, but for the families of his victims, no punishment is just enough to make up for the vibrant lives Stayner took, making him one of the most depraved American serial killers in contemporary history. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack Rosewood) Mon, 24 Oct 2016 04:50:51 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Cary-Stayner-Audiobook/B01MFAHQLT thebookvoice.com 02:03:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The story is fascinating, but gruesome Fascinating story. The author does a good job of looking back into Stayner's life to see how became the monster he is. The narrator is horrible. I really wish the publishing company would have chosen a better narrator. If I didn't know bettet, I would say it is a robot telling the story. He doesn't know how to pronounce the city names properly. Very disappointing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Organized-Crime-Queens-The-Secret-World-of-Female-Gangsters-Audiobook/B077KBLR3L Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

These are the stories, both true and legendary, of the female crime bosses that broke the mold of feminine gentility. This is the secret world of female gangsters. Most of society thinks of women as the gentler sex, the sex with more compassion and empathy, not prone to violence.

We're not talking about mundane psychopaths that kill their children and their husbands; or homicidal maniacs that kill randomly without purpose, other than for some sexual or psychological gratification. We're talking about female organized crime bosses, leaders of highly structured, often successful criminal organizations. Most everyone knows about the high profile male mobsters; people like Lucky Luciano, Myer Lansky, Bugsy Segal, Arnold Rothstein, and Al Capone: men who became legends, rightly or wrongly, due to the public's insatiable appetite for literature, movies, and television stories based on their lives. But what about their female counterparts, they definitely existed and still exist. Their stories are both fascinating and cautionary.

Members Reviews: a great starting point for authors of all genres, readers fascinated by history and human nature If you have a curiosity about history or the nature of humankind, this brief reference book needs to be on your shelf. Much has been told about headline grabbing criminals and famous gangs, most of which we tend to believe have been men. Those beliefs have left a lot of room for women to not only head up crime gangs and families but to expand their "businesses" and increase their wealth right under the noses of the authorities of the times. My interest is further back in time, but this compilation covers a great expanse of history up to very recently. Some of the information is brusque, direct and factual rather than the more soft-spoken story voice that leads itself to the romance of beloved yarns. This is research, not fabricated legend, for the most part. Of course there is always some speculation but that too is addressed. From Australia to Cuba to China, Mexico and lands in every direction, these are tales of how intelligent women took advantage of the times in which they lived. The portraits included are a wonderful addition to the book. No activity seems to have excluded the ingenuity of the female brain. This is a great starting point for authors of all genres. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/A-Prison-Diary-Audiobook/B002V0GEJI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A Worthwhile Listen As an American who doesn't really follow British politics, I have to admit general ignorance about the details of Jeffrey Archer's case when I saw this book listed on Audible.com's site. A little internet research turned up his story, and the fact that he had just recently been released from prison. Sounded interesting, and so I ordered it. First off, the narrative is outstanding, and brings to life Archer's story. As to the content, it was very good. Not outstanding, but very good. Archer has a very readable (or listenable in this case) style, which gives one a feel of what it was like for a man used to rubbing elbows with England's aristocracy to end up among murderers, drug dealers, and rapists. Writing in diary format is not alway easy, but Archer pulls it off. And again, Martin Jarvis's narrative, down to the voices he used to imitate the other prisoners, added to the story. On the downside, Archer clearly had a political axe to grind, directing comments on his perceived atrocities of the British penal system to "Mr. Home Secretary." That notwithstanding, much lucid insight into what it means to go without something many of us take for granted - our personal freedom. Recommended. A trip to jail I have read a number of Jeffrey Archer books over the years and also knew he was a member of the House of Lords and a politician but was unaware he was sent to prison. Like many of the other readers I looked up to learn about his crimes. This book is book one of a series of four books in the Prison Diary series. I found it interesting and was surprised at his treatment by the other prisoners and staff. The day to day life of prison was enlightening as well as how many were there because of drugs. I could understand Archers point when he would write attention Mr. Home Secretary even though it could be considered self serving. I also noted how many of the prisoners said they would just take their punishment and get on with life. I am impressed that on his release that Archer is busy campaigning for prison reform. Martin Jarvis did a great job reading this book. Enjoyed the book and learned a lot. A tale of culture shock This book gives a very detailed account of the first few weeks of a privileged Englishman?s incarceration in a common British prison. It?s not exactly exciting, but it does paint a comprehensive picture. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Deception-I-Married-a-Con-Man-Audiobook/B0787N1YKC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Kennedy depicts Lee Harvey Oswald as a convenient cliche or a conspiracy puppet, Lone Gunman or Framed Patsy. Lost among the competing theories of villainy and cover-up is the real Lee Harvey Oswald, a troubled young man from a fractured family, a lonely child born without a future. In this original and dramatic work, Steven Beschloss draws on a rich but relatively unmined public record, key interviews with Marguerite and other family members, and Lee's own writing and statements to trace the origin of an American tragedy. He was a quiet boy who loved to stare at the stars. She was a bossy woman who always felt broke. He loved to ride the subways, skip school, go to the zoo. She was desperate and itinerant, forced to put her three kids into a New Orleans orphanage. He was a heavy reader, a homebody; she an oppressive and volatile figure. Both felt the world owed them better, and both carried a grudge that never softened. He was Lee Harvey Oswald and she his mother, Marguerite. The Gunman and His Mother depicts the troubled bond between a mother and her son, revealing in detail a relationship that has deserved focused treatment for a half century but has yet to receive it: How an innocent young boy evolved into a killer despite the watching eyes of his mother, his family, and his friends. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Steven Beschloss) Thu, 24 Jul 2014 10:33:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Gunman-and-His-Mother-Audiobook/B00M24K476 thebookvoice.com 02:50:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: He didn't do it...patsy My uncle who bunked w him in the Marines said he was such a horrible shot, he cdnt hit the side e a barn, much less a miracle magical head shot. Just like that officer he tried to shoot and missed before the Kennedy assassination. He was inept in all facets of his. Paralyzed in life by a narcissist mother who used him as a surrogate husband. Too uneducated herself to know the weight the isolation imposed on him wd play on his grandiose violent need for reverence in any way he cd get it. Bad coverage is better than no coverage. That's my humble opinion. Great reading thanks! Insightful! Regardless of one's views on LHO (lone nut or part of broader conspiracy), the relationship wiht his mother is key to understanding why he would either assassinate the President or participate in a plot. Story is revealed as a dual track - events occurring around the assassination are alternated with stories from LHO's childhood through and including his defection to Russia and his mother's reactions. It is understandable why a mother would claim her accused son was a "government agent" based on wishful thinking, as she seemed to live in a fantasy world and probably had some kind of personality disorder. A cautionary tale This child never had a chance. Tossed from person to person. His Mother, so wrapped up in herself, to raise her kids. She failed as a parent. Could have got Lee help, chose not to. Read this book if you want to better understand what led this man to commit this terrible ... This is a dark story with details about Oswald and his mother you probably never heard. Mom is crazy and abserbly self centered. There are not enough shrinks in the world that can explain all the issues in their world leading to this crime. Read this book if you want to better understand what led this man to commit this terrible crime. Very well researched and written. Fascinating read!

Title: Monster Subtitle: Inside the Mind of Aileen Wuornos Author: Aileen Wuornos, Christopher Berry Dee Narrator: Matthew Lloyd Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 09-29-14 Publisher: Prospero Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Told in her own words, this is the story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Charlize Theron in the film Monster. There have been few female serial killers, but Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002, was a remarkable example of this rare breed of death-row inmate. All too often, female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - Wuornos killings were the inverse of this pattern. After escaping an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, she became a child prostitute, progressing into a disastrous adulthood of prostitution and damaging affairs with both men and women. Her eventual metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men.

There have been few female serial killers, but Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002, was a remarkable example of this rare breed of death-row inmate. All too often, female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - Wuornos killings were the inverse of this pattern. After escaping an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, she became a child prostitute, progressing into a disastrous adulthood of prostitution and damaging affairs with both men and women. Her eventual metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men.

First person account of why and how the famous "Monster" prostitute went about killing several of her Johns. If ever an insane person was wrongly put to death, it was this one. She is not the run of the mill evil sociopath. Narration ruins the story. Don't bother If you are interested in the fascinating story of Aileen Wuornos, find another book. There are better ones out there. Monster is supposed to be Aileen Wuornos' account of the murders but it is mostly a reporting of the murders with her words injected in. This is no different from other the other books on the same subject. The problem with this book is that the male british narrator droned on, generating all of the enthusiasm in me that that my college statistics professor did. At the very least, having a woman speak the parts of Aileen would have made the book so much more "readable". I couldn't get through half of it. Poor other of a factual story. The other often leaves the reader unknowing who is speaking. The other will sometimes present a full statement with many details and only at the end, tell who is speaking. I found it confusing and oftentimes going back to figure out what's going on. You would need extra patients to get the full view of this good otherwise good story. Take heed before proceeding farther. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killers-Horrifying-True-Life-Cases-of-Pure-Evil-Audiobook/B077S41Y35 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Ok book Ok book, written about the same people. Nothing new. Great book I really enjoyed this book. One of my favorites I have seen this before The book is good enough. The only problem is that there are lots of other books that available themselves of the same source. It is not difficult this happened, many of the killer's murders are public domain, and the author adds little to make her book distinct from the others. In any case it is a fast read. This is a really interesting read. This is a really interesting read. I ha e read many on serial killers and this one is one of the most interesting of most https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Seven-Pillars-of-Wisdom-Audiobook/B002V0QMPE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Seven Pillars of Wisdom Author: T.E. Lawrence Narrator: Jim Norton Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 10-26-00 Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Although Lawrence of Arabia died in 1935, the story of his life has captured the imagination of succeeding generations. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a monumental work in which he chronicles his role in leading the Arab Revolt against the Turks during the First World War. A reluctant leader, and wracked by guilt at the duplicity of the British, Lawrence nevertheless threw himself into his role, suffering the blistering desert conditions and masterminding military campaigns which culminated in the triumphant march of the Arabs into Damascus. (P)1994 NAXOS AudioBooks Ltd.; ©1994 NAXOS AudioBooks Ltd. Editorial Reviews: Lawrence's famous autobiographical history of the Arab wars of liberation from the Ottoman Empire during WWI is difficult to follow in this severe abridgment. The deeper historical milieu has to be known in detail by the listener for a full understanding. Nevertheless, Irish actor Jim Norton's voice aptly expresses this weary, steely, cultured Englishman with too much integrity for his times. Scenes of pain and horror are dryly presented, but Lawrence's anguish at governmental double-dealing comes clearly through. As usual, Naxos punctuates the narrative with well-chosen selections of stirring classical music. Critic Reviews: "It ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language. As a narrative of war and adventure it is unsurpassable." (Winston Churchill) biacuaduc@gmail.com (T.E.

Little wonder that Winston Churchill described Seven Pillars of Wisdom as ranking ''with the greatest books ever written in the European Language''. More relevant than ever given the current Palestinian struggle born directly out of England's duplicity. I dare anyone not to be mesmerized by the true-story of one man's "normal effort" in finding his destiny was to help shape the history of the Middle-East. At the climax of the tale, to hear the description of the Muezzin calling the faithful of Damascus to prayer is simply magical. A must read. decent documentary, but hopelessly mistitled My last two books were "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Charlamagne", both rich, vivid, colorful tales told very well. "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" would be much more accurately titled "Technical and Administrative Details of the Arab Uprising, 1917-1918". While Lawrence was a fascinating character who lived a large life, this book is dry, boring, banal. Excruciatingly detailed descriptions of his meals of dates and sheep in the desert, of his illnesses, and of the details of mining the Turkish train lines. Almost no human interest, color, or illustrations of the feelings of the Syrians and Palestinians. You might expect these and much more after reading the title. You would be wrong. This is an excellent book of technical and administrative details of desert adventures and battles of this campaign, a struggle of paramount importance in history. But no more than that. It does not help the reader understand why the Arabs want to cast off the yoke of the Turks, and it does not help the reader understand Arabs better. I think this book is famous only because T.E. Lawrence lived such an epic life. Good Book, wish it had better audio quality Enjoyed the read extensively. Though definitely a book for someone interested in history. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Octopus-Audiobook/B00EUS6Q7Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An Excellent Audible Choice Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. The author did a fantastic job of collecting all the minute details of this story. There are so many little details that it must have been a big challenge collecting and putting it all together. In addition, the book is organized and written very well. What was one of the most memorable moments of Octopus? The resumption of the beginning, which occurs very near the end. I actually said, "WHAT?!" What does Jeff Woodman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He did a great job; I liked Jeff Woodman's narration as much as my favorite narrator, which is George Guidall. Any additional comments? If you like the show, "American Greed," or enjoyed the 3-part Madoff production, or liked the book on Charles Ponzi, I think you'll enjoy this book a lot. What A Ride Great story. I found myself rooting for the bad guys many times. The tale told and believed by the main character is so implausible it's actually believable. Goes on too long Might have made a good book if it was half as long but it got very repetitive Amazing story of how stupid a smart guy can be This book was unbelievable because it is true. The main character, Sam, is a hard driving and intelligent fellow. His business is the stock market and unfortunately his is not good at his business. When he get behind in his hedge fund that is when the crazy starts. You will wonder if this really happened as con man meets con man. I verified that everything in the book was accurate. I will tell you no more, it is an exciting book Oh, the accents! Which character as performed by Jeff Woodman was your favorite? Just quickly... I have found that the attempt by various professional readers to duplicate various regional accents stumbles from the comical to the clumsy to the near-racist. They don't make the listening experience better for me, personally, and I do rather wish the whole practice would simply stop. Having only recently started the book, I have not very much else to say about it just yet. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Body-Dump-Audiobook/B00SBQHL3Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

As a listener, you will journey through the sick mind of Ted Bundy, traveling from one gruesome scene to another. You will hide with Bundy, watching and waiting for his next vicious attack. As Bundy prepares his defense, goes to trial, and is eventually electrocuted for his acts of violence, you'll be beside him, sharing in the experience. You will also be given an opportunity to judge for yourself all the factors that could have contributed to Bundy's monstrous existence. However, the portrait of Bundy's life is bigger than him, his actions, and his victims. It's about what all this says about our society.

It doesnt spend time exploring facts, instead opting to guess and theorize on wild unsupported ideas. I was also disappointed that the author wastes time lecturing on personal protection. Costly Information leaflet. Deeply unsatisfactory. Reiteration of all known facts with no new insights and apparently in a hurry to finish. A ridiculous price for such a short, boring narrative. The narrator seemed to be rushing through as quickly as possible and was almost impossible to listen to. The best part was when I turned it off. Definitely not recommended. There are many, superior, well-researched books on Bundy if you are interested. Always look out for your safety but you do not need to puchase this to get free and sound advice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Quantrills-War-Audiobook/B002VACGUO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Quantrill's War Subtitle: The Life and Times of William Clarke Quantrill, 1837-1865 Author: Duane Schultz Narrator: Richard Davidson Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: At first, William Clarke Quantrill conveniently sided with whomever was the strongest at the time - abolitionists or slavery supporters - but eventually, he settled on backing the Confederacy. With his charismatic personality, he attracted a motley band of idealists and renegades for his guerilla army. Quantrill longed to be an officer, but when the Confederacy refused to commission him, because of his tactics of murdering for pleasure and looting for gain, he simply took the title of colonel and later, captain. Narrator Richard M. Davidson takes the listener to the battlefields, bringing to life the people, sights, and sounds of the Civil War. The combination of Schultz's masterful descriptions and Davidson's sense of timing makes Quantrill's history as exciting as today's headlines. Critic Reviews: "Schultz retells Quantrill's life with dramatic flourish - his re-creation of the Lawrence, Kansas, massacre and of the pursuit of Quantrill by scattered Union forces is particularly exciting. Readers interested in the dark side of the Civil War will find much to ponder."

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Quantrill's War - a famous criminal's story The fascinating and horrific accounts in and around the life of this man and those of his contemporaries are fascinating pieces of history every person with family roots in Kansas or Missouri should know about as well as any Civil War buff or criminologist should become familiar with. A history as told by an excellent narrator, and of course kudos to the author on a job very well done. Interesting Perspective Mr Schultz's examination of the Confederate guerrilla, Quantrill was enlightening if not overly entertaining. War (in particular, civil war) is a bloody and brutal thing. From the outset, Mr Schultz skewered Quantrill on essentially being nothing but an opportunist and bandit. He takes every effort to make this point throughout the book. Ironically, the brutality and atrocities committed by Quantrill (scalping, robbery, murder, etc.) were matched (if not learned from) stroke for stroke in the book by Union troops and sympathizers. The story was reasonable. The narration was good. Overall, a worthwhile story for those with an interest in the subject. Must listen All I can say s this was exciting and a wonderful listen. Highly recommended. An Historical NOVEL This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Northern Civil War "buffs" and re-enactors that want to role-play a Northern POV concerning this subject for public amusement. What was most disappointing about Duane Schultzs story? Book is written as a novel, no sources quoted at all. A Yankee point-of-view all the way. Example, if one were to ask Nazis what the truth is about Jews, you would get the same kind of response. Completely one-sided. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Fatal-Descent-Audiobook/B017RK6EFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Fatal Descent Subtitle: Andreas Lubitz and the Crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 Author: Jeff Wise Narrator: Jeff Wise Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: The definitive investigation into the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 and the mind of the copilot who committed the most shocking crime in aviation history. On March 24, 2015, Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed into the French Alps. All 144 passengers and six crew members were killed. In the ensuing days, a picture of the flight's harrowing final moments began to emerge. Shortly after reaching cruise altitude, a 27-year-old first officer named Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit, took control of the plane, and deliberately caused its descent. In Fatal Descent, journalist and aviation expert Jeff Wise travels to Lubitz's hometown in Germany and pieces together a definitive and haunting portrait of the killer and the system he betrayed, revealing in heart-pounding detail how a lifelong superachiever like Lubitz could have committed such an unthinkable act, what actually happened inside the cockpit, and whether current airline regulations leave us vulnerable to similar attacks in the future. Jeff Wise is a science journalist specializing in aviation and psychology. He is the author of the best-selling Kindle Single The Plane That Wasn't There, about the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. A licensed pilot of gliders and light airplanes, he also has stick time in powered paragliders, trikes, World War II fighter planes, Soviet jet fighters, gyroplanes, and zeppelins as well as submarines, tanks, hovercraft, dog sleds, and swamp buggies.

Given the present state of affairs, it is absolutely impossible for us to defeat Boko Haram." - Kashim Shettima, governor of Borno On the morning of April 15, 2004, the world woke up to the extraordinary news of the kidnap in a little known hamlet of Nigeria of some 276, primarily Christian schoolgirls, by the radical militant Nigerian insurgent group Boko Haram. Almost overnight, the group, which had resided somewhat on the fringes of global consciousness up until that point, found itself at the forefront as international public outrage, culminating in a social media campaign headed by First Lady Michelle Obama, demanded the immediate return of the kidnapped girls. Those demands, while laudable, simply served to project a hitherto local and regional jihadist movement, operating in the gray hinterland of the African Sahel region, into an organization with an international profile and a place in the pantheon of globally recognized terror organizations. If anything, the headlines have probably imbued Boko Haram with more punch than it can practically wield, for in reality the organization, at least for the time being, it remains less a jihadist movement that a localized terror insurgency with very locally defined objectives. If Boko Haram does indeed nurture international ambitions, which increasingly it appears to, then these perhaps are a fringe expression of a movement that appears in on the whole, again at least for the time being, to be too haphazard, and chaotic in its administration and leadership to really find a home amongst the larger and better known international organizations. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Thu, 23 Apr 2015 04:20:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Boko-Haram-Audiobook/B00WJ0LLTS thebookvoice.com 01:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Speaker has lisp or needs flosspoor performance. Content is good, but narration is poor. Speaker has a lisp or needs to floss. The narrator also has a pronounced, non-standard, marked dialect. The reading also isn't read smoothly but harshly, i.e. a hard prosody on words and pauses. She also has some volume control and pronunciation consistency problems. This Audible reader needs a voice coach or audio director before producing more works for Amazon. Islamic Fundamentalism in Western Africa If you could sum up Boko Haram in three words, what would they be? A fascinating tale which describes how the convergence of colonialism, government corruption and religious extremism has spawned this Nigerian terrorist group. This audiobook is full of historical and contemporary information on Nigeria, and the author/narrator does a good job detailing how Boko Haram has come to be. Sadly, it seems that the existence of this Nigerian terrorist group was largely preventable! Any additional comments? I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. A little disappointed.... What disappointed you about Boko Haram? It could have been written in a more clear and interesting way. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Drug-Smugglers-on-Drug-Smuggling-Audiobook/B00H3QCFO8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Sociology and Social Welfare) Members Reviews: A Scientific Paper, But Also a Great Read Having read "Blow" (upon which the Johnny Depp movie was based) and bought "Cocaine Cowboys" (the hit documentary film by Billy Corbin), Amazon.com's recommendation engine suggested this book to me. I bought it, not realizing that this is the published report of a scientific study by several criminologists. At first I was like "Oh, well, there goes THAT money," but after reading a few pages into it, I actually began enjoying it. While the citations of other studies, discourse on methodology, and academic language are dry at times, this book still brought to life a fascinating segment of society's underworld. Sure, it's lacking in some of the artful prose that a good author (or even a biographer) can use to spice up a scene or convey a mood, but the fundamental interestingness of the subject (guys who are wiling to break the law, risk their freedom and their lives to smuggle drugs in the hopes of realizing fabulous profits) shines through. I would recommend this book to anyone who seeks a real-life examination and analysis of how cocaine is smuggled into the U.S. (primarily through the Florida routes in the late 1990s and early 2000s). Drug Smuggling By Drug Smugglers Hi, Whenever I want to learn the ins and outs, the rules, or methods the major players involved in a particular endeavor employ, I try to find anthologies about those individuals. This is one such book. I like how the authors use other academic research to contrast and compare their current findings. Don't know how relevant all this stuff is. since these stories are generally from those who got caught. A possible indication that these people were inept. Another anthology about drug dealers I like is called " Wheeling and Dealing" by Patrice Adler Five Stars Excellent 10/10 would smuggle again. Very interesting book, difficult to read in public.

Members Reviews: You will never go wrong with a Fred Rosen book and this one did not disappoint. A very interesting and enjoyable read from the first word to the last Definitely a 5 ***** star book! Thank you Fred Rosen for another great read! The only negative is that I'm done reading it. This book was very soundly told, I think the author did good job of putting truth to paper The author was very good in submitting the true storyline as it is I think it is a very good book Gang Mom Gang Mom was an interesting story. It was educational in describing gang activity. I especially enjoyed the fact that the detective did not give up his belief that the gang mom was an evil criminal who used the teenage boys to commit crimes. I was happy that she received life without parole. It was a great read. Could barely put it down It was a great read. Could barely put it down. What a woman would do to get gang members to do her bidding was amazing, and denying it was just plain astonishing.. Thank goodness she was brought down. Good story, but lacks depth This is a very ironic case, where a single mother who is well known in her community for her tough stance against gangs turns out to be the ringleader of one. Unfortunately, while the story itself is very interesting, the book is not written all that well. I felt it lacked depth. I think more detail and more background is called for, to give the reader the feeling of knowing the characters. There were also some confusing and/or conflicting passages. Worth reading, but not one of my favorite true crime books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/American-Scoundrel-Audiobook/B00AI2IFS4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Scoundrel Subtitle: The Life of the Notorious Civil War General Dan Sickles Author: Tom Kenneally Narrator: Humphrey Bower Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: On the last, cold Sunday of February 1859, Daniel Sickles shot his wife's lover in Washington's Lafayette Square, just across from the White House. This is the story of that killing and its repercussions. Thomas Keneally brilliantly recreates an extraordinary period, when women were punished for violating codes of society that did not bind men. And the caddish, good-looking Dan Sickles personifies the extremes of the era: As a womaniser, he introduced his favourite madam to Queen Victoria while his wife stayed at home; as minister to Spain, he began an affair with the Queen while courting one of her ladies in waiting; and in his later years, he installed his housekeeper as his mistress while his second wife took up residence nearby. The brio with which Thomas Keneally tells the tale is equal to the pace and bravado of Sickles' life. But, more than this, American Scoundrel is the lens through which the listener can view history at a time when America was being torn apart. Critic Reviews: "A great piece of storytelling."

Members Reviews: Mr. Vijay Kumar seems to have demonstrated his prowess with the pen as much as with a pistol!â âA riveting read that proves the adage âtruth is stranger than fictionâ. The book recounts the efforts of police forces across two southern states in India to nab the wily sandalwood smuggler Veerappan who eluded them for over two decades. Ruthless to the point of sacrificing his own kith and kin to save his skin, he successfully managed to control vast areas of the forest. He was master of the jungle and the city trained cops were disadvantaged in his domain. Even Lady Luck seemed to favor him as he had many close escapades. However, the stars seemed to predict his end as his astrological chart indicated punishment by the state. That fate was administered by the author along with his team and support of police forces across the states. Some bold villagers also came forward with actionable intelligence. One of them pointed to Veerappanâs eye problems. On the ruse of getting to the hospital for treatment, the police forces were able to trap Veerappan in an âambulanceâ called Cocoon. Through artful sequencing of events and flashbacks, the author manages to keep the book engaging even though the end is known. Mr. Vijay Kumar seems to have demonstrated his prowess with the pen as much as with a pistol!â. Read this to get the police story on Verappan and his eventual encounter While there have been multiple interpretations about Veerapan and his legend, now we have a blow by bow account of the actual hunt that materialised in achieving its goal. Shri. K Vijay Kumar the author is a much decorated police office who has many laurels to his credit and has completed a career which has several highs. The book is written in a fast paced action oriented style which makes for interesting reading. However once thing that is missing is the fact that there is very little acknowledgement of the fact that the STF has been accused of several atrocities and an acknowledgement of this aspect would have given the balance that would take this book another step higher. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Bullies-Audiobook/B01B56YCZQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Bullies Subtitle: A Friendship Author: Alex Abramovich Narrator: Alex Abramovich Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: The powerful account of one writer's unlikely friendship with his childhood bully, now the president of a motorcycle club in one of America's most dangerous cities. Once upon a time, Alex Abramovich and Trevor Latham were mortal enemies: miniature outlaws in a Long Island elementary school, perpetually at each other's throats. Then they lost track of each other. Decades later, when they met again, Abramovich was a writer, and Latham had become president of the East Bay Rats, a motorcycle club in Oakland. In 2010, Abramovich moved to California to immerse himself in Latham's world - one of fight clubs, booze-filled nights, and beatdowns on the city's streets. But dangerous, dysfunctional Oakland was also becoming one of America's most rapidly gentrifying cities, and the questions Abramovich had arrived with were thrown into brutal relief: How do we live with the burden of violence? How do we overcome it? Do we overcome it? As Trevor, the Rats, and the city they live in careen between crises and moments of renaissance, Abramovich explores issues of friendship, family, history, and destiny - and looks at what happens when those things fail. Bullies is at once a vivid, visceral narrative of an unusual friendship and an incisive portrait of a beautiful, terrible city. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Alex Abramovich) Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:50:42 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Bullies-Audiobook/B01B56YCZQ thebookvoice.com 06:15:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Mark Inside Subtitle: A Perfect Swindle, a Cunning Revenge, and a Small History of the Big Con Author: Amy Reading Narrator: Richard McGonagle Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 03-06-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In 1919, Texas rancher J. Frank Norfleet lost everything he had in a stock market swindle. He did what many other marks did - he went home, borrowed more money from his family, and returned for another round of swindling. Only after he lost that second fortune did he reclaim control of his story. Instead of crawling back home in shame, he vowed to hunt down the five men who had conned him. Armed with a revolver and a suitcase full of disguises, Norfleet crisscrossed the country from Texas to Florida to California to Colorado, posing as a country hick and allowing himself to be ensnared by confidence men again and again to gather evidence on his enemies. Within four years, Frank Norfleet had become nationally famous for his quest to out-con the con men. Through Norfleet's ingenious reverse-swindle, Amy Reading reveals the mechanics behind the scenes of the big con - a piece of performance art targeted to the most vulnerable points of human nature. Reading shows how the big con has been woven throughout U.S. history. From the colonies to the railroads and the Chicago Board of Trade, America has always been a speculative enterprise, and bunco men and bankers alike have always understood that the common man was perfectly willing to engage in minor fraud to get a piece of the expanding stock market - a trait that made him infinitely gullible. Amy Reading's fascinating account of con artistry in America and Frank Norfleet's wild caper invites you into the crooked history of a nation on the hustle, constantly feeding the hunger and the hope of the mark inside.

(David Mamet, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Glengarry Glen Ross and House of Games ) Members Reviews: A very pleasant surprise! Because I selected this book for the subject matter and not for any terrific reviews that were written about it, I wasn't really expecting much. But this is a wonderful piece of work! Ms. Reading is a superb researcher and a very gifted writer. I hope she's got something new in the works. And the narration is among the best I've heard in 30 years of listened to narrated books of various kinds. a scattering of interesting facts Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? This is a very interesting story, but could have been dispatched in a long magazine article (e.g., New Yorker or Atlantic) rather than in a full-fledged book. If you are willing to tolerate wading through all these interesting facts, then the book could be to your liking. If you are, like me, sometimes impatient with extraneous material with little to do with the plot line, you may find it hard going. Did Richard McGonagle do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The narrator was very good. Excellent story based on real facts. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If you have ever been conned or have almost been conned like me, you will find this more than interesting. While I have been basically aware of the main ingredient of a con, that is to promise you something you dont deserve. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Killing-for-You-Audiobook/B072BXPN1K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

So he devised a diabolical plan: He asked his neighbor Sam Herr, a young war veteran, to help him move some things into the attic of an empty theater. There, Wozniak shot Herr twice in the head before taking his ATM card and cell phone. Hours later Wozniak performed onstage with his fiancée in a local production of the musical Nine, convinced that he had gotten away with murder.... Wozniak dismembered his victim's body and hid the pieces. Then he lured Herr's college friend Juri "Julie" Kibuishi to Herr's apartment and shot her twice in the head. The police immediately declared Herr a prime suspect - just as Wozniak had planned.

So he devised a diabolical plan: He asked his neighbor Sam Herr, a young war veteran, to help him move some things into the attic of an empty theater. There, Wozniak shot Herr twice in the head before taking his ATM card and cell phone. Hours later Wozniak performed onstage with his fiancée in a local production of the musical Nine, convinced that he had gotten away with murder.... Wozniak dismembered his victim's body and hid the pieces. Then he lured Herr's college friend Juri "Julie" Kibuishi to Herr's apartment and shot her twice in the head. The police immediately declared Herr a prime suspect - just as Wozniak had planned.

Members Reviews: Wonderful Jewish soldier I miss dearly, great book Went to school with him, extremely sad story but very well told. It examinesbthe depths of the soulless many, driven by nothing more than superfluous impulses. Big Letdown Would you try another book from Keith Elliot Greenberg and/or Tom Perkins? No What could Keith Elliot Greenberg have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Add some personality to the story. How could the performance have been better? Another narrator. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Killing for You? There seemed to be no flow to the composition of this book. So, many scenes were off. Any additional comments? Between the author and the narrator the feel was very flat. It just seemed to drone on and on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Corridor-Killer-Audiobook/B00YO0BKG0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Corridor Killer: to be better than the print version? Some of the stories were familiar , others were not.. But It was an enyoyable read Corridor killer???

Title: Did They Really Do It? Subtitle: From Lizzie Borden to the 20th Hijacker Author: Fred Rosen Narrator: David Drummond Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 02-04-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Nine of the most controversial violent crimes in America's history are reexamined in these compelling stories of true crime. Dr. Samuel Mudd set John Wilkes Booth's broken ankle, but was he actually part of the larger conspiracy to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln? Did Lizzie Borden brutally murder her own parents in Massachusetts? Was admitted jihadist Zacarias Moussaoui really involved in the terrorist plot to destroy the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001? In a series of provocative and eye-opening true crime investigations, author Fred Rosen revisits some of the most shocking and notorious crimes in America over the past two centuries to determine once and for all...did they really do it? Applying logic and techniques of modern criminology while reexamining the crime scenes, official police records, and the original courtroom testimonies of witnesses and the accused, Rosen explores nine infamous crimes that rocked the nation and the verdicts that were ultimately handed down. From Ethel and Julius Rosenberg's execution for treason to the kidnapping and killing of the Lindbergh baby to the Ku Klux Klan slayings of three civil rights workers in Mississippi to 9/11, the alleged perpetrators get another day in court as Rosen calls into question the circumstantial evidence and cultural context that may have determined guilt or innocence in each case. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Fred Rosen) Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:22:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Did-They-Really-Do-It-Audiobook/B01BFOE2SA thebookvoice.com 06:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wow this book was hard to get through!!! This book was painful. Its beyond horribly written. Its unorganized and all over the place. There are so so many grammatical errors and even more factual errors. He was completely wrong on so many details. Had he presented his thoughts as just that they may have been interesting but instead, he writes his theories as if they are already proven facts. Very disappointed. Seems a little biased It's a little biased and several facts listed are most definitely wrong but an interesting listen none the less. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Suspicions-of-Mr-Whicher-Audiobook/B0036GRFMQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Suspicions of Mr Whicher Subtitle: The Murder at Road Hill House Author: Kate Summerscale Narrator: Harriet Walter Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-08 Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: It is a summer's night in 1860. In an elegant detached Georgian house in the village of Road, Wiltshire, all is quiet. Behind shuttered windows, the Kent family lies sound asleep. At some point after midnight, a dog barks. The family wakes the next morning to a horrific discovery: an unimaginably gruesome murder has taken place in their home. The household reverberates with shock, not least because the guilty party is surely still among them. Jack Whicher of Scotland Yard, the most celebrated detective of his day, reaches Road Hill House a fortnight later. He faces an unenviable task: to solve a case in which the grieving family are the suspects. The murder provokes national hysteria. The thought of what might be festering behind the closed doors of respectable middle-class homes - scheming servants, rebellious children, insanity, jealousy, loneliness and loathing - arouses fear and a kind of excitement. But when Whicher reaches his shocking conclusion, there is uproar and bewilderment. A true story that inspired a generation of writers, such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, this has all the hallmarks of the classic murder mystery: a body, a detective, a country house steeped in secrets. In The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Kate Summerscale untangles the facts behind this notorious case, bringing it back to vivid, extraordinary life. Critic Reviews: "It is a beautiful piece, written with great lucidity and respect for the reader, and with immaculate restraint. A classic, to my mind, of the finest documentary writing." (John le Carré) "Summerscale has constructed nothing less than a masterpiece....The Suspicions of Mr Whicher is at one and the same time a crime thriller, a sociological history, a biography and a fascinating essay on the nature of investigation....My shelves are stacked with books about crime, but none more satisfying than this." (Craig Brown, The Mail on Sunday) "(A)pacy analysis of a true British murder case from 1860, the unravelling of which involved one of the earliest Scotland Yard detectives and inspired sensation novelists such as Dickens and Wilkie Collins by exposing the dark secrets of the Victorian middle-class home. Absolutely riveting." (Sarah Waters) "[A] fastidious reconstruction and expansive analysis of the Road Hill murder case...Summerscale smartly uses an energetic narrative voice and a suspenseful pace, among other novelistic devices, to make her factual material read with the urgency of a work of fiction. What she has constructed, specifically, is a traditional country-house mystery, more brutal than cozy, but presenting the same kind of intellectual puzzle as her fictional models and adorned, as such books once were, with wonderfully old-fashioned maps, diagrams, engravings, courtroom sketches and other illustrations...More important, Summerscale accomplishes what modern genre authors hardly bother to do anymore, which is to use a murder investigation as a portal to a wider world. When put in historical context, every aspect of this case tells us something about mid-Victorian society...The author's startling final twist both vindicates her fallen hero and advances an 'aggressive' attack on moral hypocrasy in his day and ours."

Title: A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite Author: Adam Higginbotham Narrator: Adam Higginbotham Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 09-16-14 Publisher: The Atavist Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: The bomb appeared early one morning in an upstairs office of Harveys Wagon Wheel Casino near Lake Tahoe, an enigmatic box covered in a bewildering array of switches. A neatly typed letter explained that the box contained 1,000 pounds of dynamite. It was the largest improvised explosive device in American history - and its creator promised to explain how to remove it safely if the casino delivered $3 million by helicopter to a remote landing site in the mountains. "Do not try to move, disarm, or enter the bomb," the letter warned. "It will explode." The bomb maker was one Janos "Big John" Birges, a Hungarian political refugee who had worked his way up from nothing to become a successful entrepreneur in Fresno, California - only to see his life unraveled in middle age by divorce, cancer, and gambling debts. By 1980, he owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Harveys. And he had roped his two teenage sons - who were as eager to please their father as they were terrified of him - into a plot to get the money back. But the bomb he planted in the casino that August wasnt just an extortion scheme. It was a brilliant feat of engineering - an intricate and deadly puzzle that Birges hoped would prove once and for all just how badly the world had underestimated him. In A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite, Adam Higginbotham draws from interviews with federal agents and Birges co-conspirators - as well as never-before-released FBI records - to tell the story of the race to stop one of historys most bizarre extortion plots. By turns action-packed and darkly hilarious, A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite is an engrossing tale of genius at its most deranged. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Adam Higginbotham) Tue, 16 Sep 2014 03:18:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/A-Thousand-Pounds-of-Dynamite-Audiobook/B00NLLMOG8 thebookvoice.com 02:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A neatly typed letter explained that the box contained 1,000 pounds of dynamite. It was the largest improvised explosive device in American history - and its creator promised to explain how to remove it safely if the casino delivered $3 million by helicopter to a remote landing site in the mountains. "Do not try to move, disarm, or enter the bomb," the letter warned. "It will explode." The bomb maker was one Janos "Big John" Birges, a Hungarian political refugee who had worked his way up from nothing to become a successful entrepreneur in Fresno, California - only to see his life unraveled in middle age by divorce, cancer, and gambling debts. By 1980, he owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Harveys. And he had roped his two teenage sons - who were as eager to please their father as they were terrified of him - into a plot to get the money back. But the bomb he planted in the casino that August wasnt just an extortion scheme. It was a brilliant feat of engineering - an intricate and deadly puzzle that Birges hoped would prove once and for all just how badly the world had underestimated him. In A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite, Adam Higginbotham draws from interviews with federal agents and Birges co-conspirators - as well as never-before-released FBI records - to tell the story of the race to stop one of historys most bizarre extortion plots. By turns action-packed and darkly hilarious, A Thousand Pounds of Dynamite is an engrossing tale of genius at its most deranged. Members Reviews: Great Great book; I think I heard about it on Sword and Scale (to bad that host is a money-grabbing douchebag), and it reminded me of it from when I was a kid. Don't usually like authors reading their own work, but I definitely enjoyed this. Fascinating story and well read This book is only a few hours long but is a true story. I head about it on a podcast a few months back and picked up a copy on audible. The story is totally fascinating and had me gripped from the start. The story is read by the author which I always like. Well read could of perhaps done some different voices for some of the characters but still very enjoyable. 100% recommend and worth picking up. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Irma-Grese-Audiobook/B01NALLNMK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Irma Grese Subtitle: A True Account of the Holocaust's Deadliest Woman Author: Stephanie T. McRae Narrator: Sandy Vernon Format: Unabridged Length: 37 mins Language: English Release date: 12-23-16 Publisher: FFD Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: World War Two, in particular the Holocaust, was responsible for bringing to light some of the most horrifying and unbelievable individuals, none more so than Irma Grese, a female SS guard. Irma was initially stationed at Auschwitz and became one of the most ferocious and formidable women of her time, many would say of all time! This is an account of Irma's life and focuses on the facts around Irma Grese only, based on information provided by the people who knew her best and those who were unlucky enough to have come into contact with her and survived. Who was Irma Grese? Learn about this ruthless young lady, also known as the beautiful beast. An attractive woman with a propensity to kill in unusually high proportions. Discover Irma's surprising background and childhood compared to the mind-set that she developed, and understand how the circumstances in which she found herself would ultimately lead to the actions that made her so fearsome. It is well known that Irma was a member of the German SS guard and worked alongside other female guards; however, here we focus only on Irma, since she was by far the most formidable. Auschwitz in World War Two was a haven in which Irma's bias for murder could be nurtured and allowed to flourish. Encouragement of torture and massacre would have been key to her development. Understand how these elements incorporated with Nazi brainwashing would have been enticing for a young lady who harbored a sadistic mind-set at an impressionable time of her life. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Stephanie T.

Members Reviews: evil woman shes lost it cant believe she was so evil woman gaurds arnt girls supposed supposed to be sugar and spice Good book. Overall a good story that is not often heard. This book is scant on depth, but that is mostly due to lack of historical record of the subject. It covers what is known rather well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Mickey-Cohen-Audiobook/B0096REDII Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Mickey Cohen Subtitle: The Life and Crimes of L.A.'s Notorious Mobster Author: Tere Tereba Narrator: Kate Reading Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 09-10-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Mickey Cohen: The Life and Times of L.A.'s Notorious Mobster is a seductive, premium-octane blend of true crime and Hollywood lore that spins around a wildly eccentric mob boss. When Bugsy Siegel was executed, ruthless Mickey Cohen, a former pro boxer and cunning provocateur, took over criminal activity in L.A., a move sanctioned by Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello. Attaining immense power and dominance, from the late 1940s until 1976 the semi-literate Angeleno became an above-the-fold newspaper name, accumulating a remarkable count of more than 1,000 front pages in Los Angeles papers alone, and hundreds of articles in national and international periodicals. Cohen's story and the history of mid-century L.A. are inextricably intertwined, and author Tere Tereba delivers tales full of high life, high drama, and highly placed politicians, among them RFK and Richard Nixon, as well as revelations about countless icons, including Shirley Temple, Lana Turner, Frank Sinatra, and the Reverend Billy Graham. Meticulously researched, this rich tapestry presents a panoramic look at the Los Angeles underworld and immerses the listener in a dark, decadent, and dangerous side of Hollywood that has not been fully revealed until now. Critic Reviews: "Tereba brings the bantamweight crook back to vivid life in this biography.... This is a remarkable biography, in that Tereba takes a long-gone, mostly forgotten criminal and through her lively re-creation of the '20s and '30s, the decades in which Cohen was formed, and the later years when he ruled, makes you care."

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Fun, colorful, with perfect pitch Living at a safe remove from L.A., I am a fan of its history. I have spent many hours on the streets mentioned here. I like the occasional true crime, though plenty of it seems pointless and dunderheaded, as if the bottom of many barrels had already been scraped and served up in all the cheap books out there. However, the better sides of all the above comes together in "Mickey Cohen." The narrator is straight from central casting, with her velvety, street-wise tone. She seems a female counterpart to the 20th century crime story radio and TV announcers, blending perfectly with the tale. This book hits the sweet spot between fine research, local color, solid history, well-chosen details, and a lurid delivery that fits its subject like a zoot suit and fedora in a dark alley. This author artfully and carefully crafted this sharp little gem. Good Prep for Ganster Squad What did you like best about Mickey Cohen? What did you like least? Mickey was not your average gangster. He didn't discriminate; he ran with a very diverse crowd. He wasn't a womanizer, (largely due to germophobia), and he didn't kill at random, not people who weren't in the life and certainly not women and children. He was old fashioned, and that's what I liked best about him. What I liked least - I'll have to get back to you on that. Would you be willing to try another book from Tere Tereba? Why or why not? Sure. This book was informative but not overly long. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? The narrator did a fair job with this book, but I really think a man should have done the reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Divorced-from-the-Mob-Audiobook/B002UOVV7U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: As a child in Brooklyn, New York, Andrea Giovino was pushed out of the house each morning to steal bread and milk from the local grocer, watched her brother become a hit man at age 17, and helped her mother host card games for the Brooklyn wise guys whom she was told would be her ticket to a better life. Divorced from the Mob breaks the mob code of silence and describes the life of a woman born and bred into the Mafia and her inspirational escape. Sexy and street-smart, Giovino married a mob drug runner, earned a seat at '80s nightclub tables next to John Gotti, and took an emotional and bloody ride through organized crime that no mob movie or HBO series could match. Hers was also the task of keeping her children safe (keeping the guns out of reach, washing bloodstains out of her husband's clothes) and maintaining the household's front as a model of American domesticity in her quietly luxurious Staten Island neighborhood of doctors and lawyers, all the while helping manage a criminal enterprise that raked in the money. A murder, a DEA set-up, and FBI wiretaps finally brought Giovino, her husband, and her brother to the brink of prison. Defiantly, Giovino chose to retain her identity, facing down threats against her life and courageously divorcing herself and her children from the Gambino world of organized crime. Now a model working parent, Giovino has penned Divorced from the Mob as an inspirational tale for all women, a perspective of mob life largely unexplored by film and literature, and a headline-grabbing expose of organized crime told in a voice readers will never forget. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Gary Brozek) Tue, 11 May 2004 03:43:52 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Divorced-from-the-Mob-Audiobook/B002UOVV7U thebookvoice.com 09:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A monument to the power of denial The description of street life was fascinating, but the author spends the whole book preening about her street smarts on the one hand, and her perennial victimhood on the other. She pays lip service to recovery and taking responsibility, but never lets go of how she didn't know how this happened, and she just never imagined that that was going on under her nose, and explaining that if she hadn't made a wad of cash from some scheme or another, someone else would have done it -- all in all letting herself off very lightly as she draped herself with diamonds and fur given to her by those thugs she kept marrying. PLEASE. And then, to stay out of prison, she dumps them and all their friends out. It is pretty clear that had she not been faced with doing time, she would still be ensconced on Staten Island financing her drug operations and washing blood from her current man's clothes (in between shopping trips and pretending she had never had any other choices in life). However, as so many of us do, I find books about the scum of society hard to put down, and this one is no exception. In large part, it's the performance of the narrator that held my attention. Her reading, with the Brooklyn accents, is terrific. Brooklyn I also grew up in Brooklyn, but a different part. I liked this book until the point where it just stops short. It does not explain what eventually happened to the characters it described, like at the end of a nonfiction movie. This _IS_ nonfiction, after all. For this reason I did not give it 5 stars. Drugs wars as literature Criminals are people too. Maybe not the best of people, but they are definitely humans?humans with big egos. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Casanova-Killer-Audiobook/B017DYQKZO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He still remains one of the lesser known serial killers of his generation. Learn all about this psychopath who wanted fame before his life ended. November 7, 1974 As she entered her home in Milledgeville, Georgia, all Ellen Carr probably had on her mind was going to bed. She was a registered nurse who worked a night shift, and although her small family welcomed the money, the job was a demanding one. Inside, the house was unnaturally quiet. She found that odd. Her husband, 45-year-old businessman Carswell Carr, and 15-year-old daughter, Amanda, usually greeted her when she came home from the hospital. That wasn't the only sign that something was seriously amiss. As an investigator later put it, "The [place] looked as if it had been attacked by an animal." Mirrors were smashed. Slashed furniture lay everywhere, some of it in pieces. Books from the bookshelves littered the floor. Had they been robbed? Where were Carswell and Mandy? Heart pounding, Mrs. Carr ran from room to room, calling out. Minutes later, she was back outside, screaming hysterically. Neighbors called the police to what was obviously the scene of gruesome double homicide. Carswell Carr's nude corpse was lying face down on the couple's bed, hands bound behind his back and 27 stab wounds, inflicted by scissors, all over his body. The medical examiner later determined that he had died of a heart attack, likely brought on by the torture. Down the hall, Amanda was also face down in her room, one nylon stocking tied tightly around her neck and another shoved down her throat.

I really couldn't help but laugh at his boldness in helping himself to whatever ordinary essentials he needed from his victims (besides money, credit cards)...like their car, clothes, jewelry, shaving kits, etc...because MOMENTS after the crime, he'd be sporting (and using/wearing) those things as if they were HIS, and "on the make" with the women at a local nearby bar! Hahahaaaa! How nuts is THAT? And being considered somewhat good looking, he had no trouble snaring them! Needless to say, he wasn't looking for a long term relationship...Lol. I hadn't heard of this killer before, so this was fresh meat for me. I couldn't believe how nonchalant he was murder after murder after murder, as if it were no big deal and ho hum just another day of the week. Although this story was rather short in length, it was jam packed with all the crimes he committed - and there were LOTS. What a busy guy! Not kidding. Every few sentences it seemed like someone else was being killed. Yea, that many. I was quite surprised. I often get these "little tidbit" versions when they are offered as a free kindle book - and check off the "add audible narration for $1.99" option. It's a great way to fill in that occasional credit gap at the end of the month ;-) This one was worth the few bux for sure. Glad I snagged it! I know I will be listening to it again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Brothers-Audiobook/B00URVA2UA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On April 15, 2013, two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 264 others. In the ensuing manhunt, Tamerlan Tsarnaev died, and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, was captured and ultimately charged on 30 federal counts. Yet long after the bombings and the terror they sowed, after all the testimony and debate, what we still haven't learned is why. Why did the American dream go so wrong for two immigrants? How did such a nightmare come to pass? Acclaimed Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen is uniquely endowed with the background, access, and talents to tell the full story. An immigrant herself who came to the Boston area with her family as a teenager, she returned to the former Soviet Union in her early 20s and covered firsthand the transformations that were wracking her homeland and its neighboring regions. It is there that the history of the Tsarnaev brothers truly begins, as descendants of ethnic Chechens deported to Central Asia in the Stalin era. Gessen follows the family in their futile attempts to make a life for themselves in one war-torn locale after another and then, as new émigrés, in the looking-glass, utterly disorienting world of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Most crucially, she reconstructs the struggle between assimilation and alienation that ensued for each of the brothers, incubating a deadly sense of mission. And she traces how such a split in identity can fuel the metamorphosis into a new breed of homegrown terrorist, with feet on American soil but sense of self elsewhere. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Masha Gessen) Tue, 07 Apr 2015 11:47:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Brothers-Audiobook/B00URVA2UA thebookvoice.com 09:43:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Great listen! This audio book exceeded my expectations. The author delivers a wonderful narrative story that provides a history and context that I found thought provoking. She doesn't pretend to know the unknowable, and thus leaves the reader with a lot of questions to wonder about! The narrator's voice, reading style and ability to deliver additional character voices in a subtle way made the book all that much more enjoyable. Her voice is sexy, kind of like a badass secret agent who bakes complex desserts. I loved it enough to download and listen again at some point- something I often don't feel compelled to do! It's worth a credit for sure. poor reporting, poorly organized storytelling all over the place. seemingly unsupported conclusions. questionable sources. enjoyable nonetheless but not a serious examination of the subject material. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/British-Legends-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-Sir-Francis-Drake-Audiobook/B00ZVN9MZA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: British Legends: The Life and Legacy of Sir Francis Drake Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Colin Fluxman Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: "There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end, until it be thoroughly finished, yields the true glory." (Sir Francis Drake) The life of Sir Francis Drake, or, more precisely, the tale of it, is one of those prime examples that history is written by the winners. Drake was the most famous sailor of the Elizabethan era, and he has long been considered a hero by the English. His successes against the Spanish as a captain and a privateer were legendary, and Drake was celebrated for fighting the Queen's enemies, sinking their ships, and capturing the treasure that would otherwise be used to finance attacks on England. Drake vigorously pursued every mission given to him by Elizabeth I and brought all his skill, experience, and training to bear against her enemies. He was recognized at court for his valor, praised in story and song, and remembered for the kind of personality and esprit de corps that the English have long desired and celebrated in their military heroes. While that might have summarized Sir Francis Drake's life from an English perspective, that's not at all how the Spanish remember El Draque (The Dragon), the 16th century's most notorious pirate. Referred to as "the main cause of wars" in one 1592 letter to the Spanish king, Phillip II, Drake harassed Spanish ships in several oceans and was so despised by the Spanish that Phillip II placed the equivalent of a $7 million bounty on his head. This should come as no surprise, given that Spanish accounts tell of a captain who attacked and boarded Spanish merchant ships to steal their treasure and who made off with it in the kind of haughty and dramatic ways that have become standard fare in pirate lore. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Thu, 18 Jun 2015 16:22:26 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/British-Legends-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-Sir-Francis-Drake-Audiobook/B00ZVN9MZA thebookvoice.com 01:08:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Well written And Entertaining I don't know what they teach kids in school today about Sir Francis Drake. It seems to me that it was "Mumble, mumble, knighted, mumble, mumble, privateer, mumble, mumble, defeat of the Spanish Armada." Of course, there was only one movie house in the county, and it showed but one movie a week, and I learned much of my history from the movies which has swashbuckling heroes capturing railroad engines and galavanting around the confederacy wrecking the rail system, the riding off into the sunset with the beautiful senorita upon a golden palomino with a black circle around one of its eyes as it he had a black eye. And the popcorn and Milk Duds were pretty good, too. So much of this book was very entertaining to me, although I must confess I am a little concerned about people who rewrite history, for they left out the parts about the railroad engine, and the cowboys and injuns, and Tarzan and the horse that looked like it had a black eye. They did a bang-up job, though, of writing a story where Drake ignored a huge treasure in silver, simply for the reason that it would have sunk all Drake's ships. Everybody knows it's a matter of positive mental attitude, and that if Drake had any gumption at all, he's have gotten the guys to row REALLY FAST so that he'd have the silver back to Spain before the ships had a chance to sink. On the other hand, unlike the dusty history we were taught in school, this story reads sorta like an action-adventure story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Hollywoods-Celebrity-Gangster-The-Incredible-Life-and-Times-of-Mickey-Cohen-Audiobook/B00AVAPH8E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He is survived by one ex-wife, four adult children, an octogenarian mother, and two despondent brothers. Phil didn't know he was dead until he read it in the paper. All things considered, he took it rather well. So did Phil's brother, Mitch, the beneficiary of a 1.5 million dollar policy on Phil's life. 1992: Washington restaurateur Harold Stegeman, famous for his thick, juicy steaks, is arrested by the Secret Service for printing counterfeit US currency in an Idaho shed. In addition to the bogus bills, Stegeman also has a fraudulently obtained passport, a fabricated Cayman Island driver's license, and Phil Champagne's fingerprints. When the uproarious reality of Harold Stegeman's secret identity hit the headlines, the counterfeit resurrection of Phil Champagne became one of the most celebrated and hysterically funny true-crime stories of the 20th century. And while every supermarket tabloid and television talk show hounded after the untold story, only Edgar Award winner Burl Barer captured Champagne's confidence and received permission to detail Phil's post-mortem career of fraud, deception, trickery, lies, and fine prime rib, bringing to life the exploits of a man his family thought dead over a decade ago.

King, author of To Die For) Members Reviews: what can I say I am one of the illiterate fans of burl barer. I read this book years ago and wrote a awesome review on Amazon I purchased a audio version because I think burl needs the money Definitely Undead Although this story is, essentially, about one man, it is one of the most complicated tales Ive ever read. For one thing, his name keeps changing, as does his location and his nefarious activities. By the time he is arrested for counterfeiting, he has been a smuggler, an unwilling drug runner, and a gigolo. I found this book nearly as confusing as the subject, because the author switched, without warning, between time periods, identities and incidents. Perhaps there were spacing cues in the print edition, but there werent any cues in the audio edition, so I kept having to backtrack to figure out who and what was being discussed, and when the incidents occurred. I would have preferred a longer, more meticulously organized and constructed book, but, when all is said and done, the subject was so astounding that I rather enjoyed the experience of reading about it. The narration was, as always when performed by Mr. Pierce, immaculate in every respect. He is absolutely perfect for this sort of book, so good, in fact, that he is one of the few narrators whose presence can lure me into reading a book, even if I am not fairly certain that it will be of interest to me. I received this book in exchange for this unbiased review via the courtesy of AudioBookBlast dot com. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Life-and-Trial-of-Lizzie-Borden-Audiobook/B01N9IB0KN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Life and Trial of Lizzie Borden Subtitle: The History of 19th Century America's Most Famous Murder Case Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: William Crockett Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: "Lizzie Borden took an axe, and gave her mother forty whacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one." Like so many others, this ditty and similar ones sacrificed accuracy in the name of rhyme and rhythm, as Abby and Andrew Borden were not hit 81 times but "only" 29. Of course, that still proved to be more than enough to kill both of them and propel their daughter, Elizabeth, into infamy. Today, cases are often referred to as the trial of the century, but few could lay claim in the 19th century like Lizzie Borden's in the wake of her parents' murders. After all, the story included the grisly axe murders of wealthy socialites and a young daughter as the prime suspect. As Trey Wyatt, author of The Life, Legend, and Mystery of Lizzie Borden, put it, "Women were held to strict standards and genteel women were pampered, while at the same time they were expected to behave within a strict code of conduct. In 1892, Fall River, Massachusetts wealthy society ladies were not guilty of murder, and if they did kill someone, it would not be with an axe." When questioned, Lizzie gave contradictory accounts to the police, which ultimately helped lead to her arrest and trial, but supporters claimed it may have been the effects of morphine that she had a prescription to take.

Title: The Life and Trial of Lizzie Borden Subtitle: The History of 19th Century America's Most Famous Murder Case Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: William Crockett Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: "Lizzie Borden took an axe, and gave her mother forty whacks, when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one." Like so many others, this ditty and similar ones sacrificed accuracy in the name of rhyme and rhythm, as Abby and Andrew Borden were not hit 81 times but "only" 29. Of course, that still proved to be more than enough to kill both of them and propel their daughter, Elizabeth, into infamy. Today, cases are often referred to as the trial of the century, but few could lay claim in the 19th century like Lizzie Borden's in the wake of her parents' murders. After all, the story included the grisly axe murders of wealthy socialites and a young daughter as the prime suspect. As Trey Wyatt, author of The Life, Legend, and Mystery of Lizzie Borden, put it, "Women were held to strict standards and genteel women were pampered, while at the same time they were expected to behave within a strict code of conduct. In 1892, Fall River, Massachusetts wealthy society ladies were not guilty of murder, and if they did kill someone, it would not be with an axe." When questioned, Lizzie gave contradictory accounts to the police, which ultimately helped lead to her arrest and trial, but supporters claimed it may have been the effects of morphine that she had a prescription to take.

Members Reviews: * So - so telling of the sensational murder and trial of Borden's parents at the turn of the last century. Story is sketchy, not that many details. The reader has great difficulty with the vocal characterizations which also hinders the listener's interest. Thankfully, it is short listen. Not a very compelling mystery I did struggle to maintain my attention. Having read it, I still do not understand the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Stalins-Englishman-Audiobook/B014M0LW0K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very interesting This book is a winner on several fronts. Burgess was a fascinating character and his life with its ups and downs and contradictions and ultimately sad ending is well worth a biography. Then there was Burgess' role within the Cambridge 5, one of the ultimate spy stories and one which still holds some secrets. Set for the most part against the background of pre-war and Cold War England, the book held my interest from start to finish although I did have to concentrate to keep on top of the big cast of characters. Andrew Lownie knows how to tell a gripping tale, and Simon Shepherd is a competent narrator. Fascinating Always been interested in the Cambridge spy ring so I really enjoyed this book. The reader was excellent. Beilliant Having just finished Ben MacIntyre's brilliant book on Kim Philby "A Spy among Friends" I found myself interested in that other Cambridge Spy, Guy Burgess, and was pleased to see this recommended by Audible. Like MacIntyre's book, this book does a brilliant job of showing more of the infamous man. Burgess, of all the spies, has had the worst reputation but Lownie describes a compellingly flawed and ideologically naive man. A particular strength of this book is that it does not, as so many do, treat Burgess's life after his defection as an epilogue but rather show the impact that his decision to defect had on Burgess and those close to him. A really great book for all spy aficionados and cold warriors! Outstanding! Fascinating subject! I suppose eveyone has heard of Guy Burgess but who was he? Andrew Lowrie makes a fine attempt to get to know him but it is not an easy task - it would seem there are as many Guy Burgesses as people who knew him! That said most witnesses would agree that he was brilliant, could draw marvellous sketches, promiscuous, drank enormous quantities and liked chewing garlic, wore tailor made clothes which were wrinkled and grubby and had dirty fingernails. He either charmed or revolted. He was amusing or boorish. He went from prep school to Eton with a spell at the naval school, back to Eton then Cambridge where he converted to Marxism and was enrolled as a spy. He then moved to London and worked at the BBC finally ending up in the Foreign Office. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Art-of-War-A-Memoir-of-Life-in-Prison-with-Mafia-Serial-Killers-and-Sex-Offenders-Who-Get-Stabbed-Audiobook/B00EIKBZKW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Baker Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-16 Publisher: Jack Smith Ratings: 1.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: A killer on the loose in Spokane, this is the true story of serial killer Robert Lee Yates Jr. The United States of America is a complicated country. Home to many of the world's best-loved cultural icons and achievements, the nation has a darker side. With one of the highest murder rates per capita in the so-called developed world, the country has played home to some of the most violent deaths in recorded memory. Out of this spectrum of death emerges a very specific subset of criminals. The serial killers. More than any other country, America is home to a high number of mass murderers who have moved beyond the pale of regular morality. In this book, we will examine the life and crimes of Robert Lee Yates. Though he might not be as well-known as many of the country's other serial killers, his violent crimes nevertheless left a savage impact. A veteran of the United States Army, he retired from the military and turned his penchant for violence to another end. In this book, we will attempt to discover why he made such a switch. What prompted a veteran and family man to start murdering women later in his life? In the record books, Yates is linked with the murders of 16 victims. The majority of these victims were female sex workers, people who operated on the fringes of society, part of an ignored and disenfranchised underworld that Yates plunged into. For two years, in the Washington area, one man was able to carry out a campaign of vicious murders, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. This is the story of Robert Lee Yates, the family he left behind, and the women he killed. It should be noted at this juncture that several names might have been changed to preserve the privacy of their real counterparts. Every action in the story, however, is true. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack Smith) Mon, 26 Dec 2016 13:44:56 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Spokane-Killer-Audiobook/B01N7KXNSX thebookvoice.com 02:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Choptastic Brillant inside to Marks Life in prison and out of prison Rest in peace Chop Chop chopper 1 started off pretty good but became very much the same better chopper books out there Nice to finally see this on audio I read a few of the chopper books a few years ago. I'm glad to have listened again. Good narration and really brings the book alive. Very entertaining What made the experience of listening to Chopper 1 the most enjoyable? The dark humour What was one of the most memorable moments of Chopper 1? Him slagging off underworld godfathers, tells you how they really are. Gutless Have you listened to any of Dave Fergusons other performances? How does this one compare? No Any additional comments? Good humoured read. If you have watched the series underbelly the book touches on some off the characters and tells it from choppers point of view. I found myself addicted to listening to this on the drive home from work and found myself sitting in my driveway finishing off a chapter. I have recently purchased the second book hopefully it's just as addictive Irritating Narrator Is there anything you would change about this book? The Narrator Who was your favorite character and why? Chopper. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator sounds like a children's TV presenter. Hardly the voice of a hardened criminal. There is none of the dry/dark humour that comes through in all of Chopper's books. There is something really creepy about hearing the words "... because the spade was in his brain" coming from someone who sounds like they are wearing a clown costume and reading out loud to a group of primary school kids.

Title: Christopher Wilder: The True Story of The Beauty Queen Killer Subtitle: True Crime by Evil Killers Book 16 Author: Jack Rosewood Narrator: Herschel J. Grangent Jr. Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 06-22-16 Publisher: Wiq Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Of all the many psychopaths and sociopaths that have hunted for human victims throughout history, few have been more disturbing or mysterious than Christopher Bernard Wilder - the Beauty Queen Killer. From the middle of the 1960s until 1984, Wilder sexually assaulted countless women and murdered at least nine in Australia and the United States. The Beauty Queen Killer was not only a true psychopath, but also a hunter, as he carefully chose attractive girls and young women to victimize. But Wilder was no creepy looking killer; he was an attractive, articulate man who used a camera and offers of a modelling career to get his unsuspecting, naïve victims to remote locations where he would then rape, torture, and ultimately kill them. Among serial killer biographies, Wilder's is a cautionary tale. First as a juvenile, and later as a young man, Wilder was arrested on numerous occasions for sexual assaults in both Australia and the United States; but he never served any time behind bars due to technicalities, witnesses refusing to testify, or the judges showing sympathy towards the Beauty Queen Killer. When one considers some of the better known American crime stories from history, many red-flags are apparent that point towards the future criminal potential of an individual. For Wilder, the flags were bright, crimson, quite large, and difficult to avoid, yet were ignored by his friends, family, and the authorities. Christopher Wilder's saga is therefore not just a true crime murder story, but also an unfortunate example of how the system can fail to protect the public from a known sexual sadist. Begin this intriguing book and hear the story of an American serial killer who had it all: looks, money, and beautiful women. But as this captivating true crime story will reveal, nothing was ever enough for the Beauty Queen Killer as he killed his way across the United States in order to satisfy his sadistic lust. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack Rosewood) Wed, 22 Jun 2016 08:59:46 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Christopher-Wilder-The-True-Story-of-The-Beauty-Queen-Killer-Audiobook/B01HDOM6PC thebookvoice.com 02:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Narration I felt like a robot was reading to me in a very monotone voice. Ugh! Such a very scary story Would you listen to Christopher Wilder: The True Story of The Beauty Queen Killer again? Why? Yes. I will. Since this true story is such a realization that in this world, criminals are everywhere and can happen anytime and anywhere. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The most compelling aspect of the narrative is how Christopher Wilder managed to do the crimes and i was so disappointed on why he was not caught alive. What does Herschel J. Grangent, Jr. bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? How scary the story in reality and it's really an inhuman act. Just reading the books does not give a better impact rather than listening. Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? I was interested on the motives and the root cause on why Wilder did those hilarious crimes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Empire-of-Blue-Water-Audiobook/B002V1A23G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Empire of Blue Water Author: Stephan Talty Narrator: John H. Mayer Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-07 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Henry Morgan, a 20-year-old Welshman, crossed the Atlantic in 1655, hell-bent on making his fortune. Over the next three decades, his exploits in the Caribbean in the service of the British became legendary. His daring attacks on the mighty Spanish empire on land and at sea determined the fates of kings and queens, and his victories helped shape the destiny of the New World. Morgan gathered disaffected European sailors and soldiers, hard-bitten adventurers, runaway slaves, and vicious cutthroats, and turned them into the most feared army in the Western Hemisphere. Awash with bloody battles, political intrigues, and a cast of characters more compelling, bizarre, and memorable than any found in a Hollywood swashbuckler, Empire of Blue Waters brilliantly recreates the passions and the violence of the age of exploration and empire. Critic Reviews: "Before he became rum, Cap'n Morgan humbled the Spanish Empire.... Talty's well-researched account weaves together myriad political and financial interests in the New World."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: ... the Caribbean for 3 weeks in March and always love to read the history of where I travel I'll be in the Caribbean for 3 weeks in March and always love to read the history of where I travel ... I have enjoyed reading about Captain Morgan and the barbaric tortures and the exploits of pirates. I keep looking up my Google Maps of the Caribbean to find out where Captain Morgan sailed. Unbelievable how brave and daring he was and how many pirates he led at one time. He ordered 500 head of cattle to be slaughtered and put on his ships for one mission. Wow - lot of food for a lot of pirates. Hard to put down. Despite some grammatical errors in the first few chapters, I still have to give this book 5 stars. For anyone who is a history buff, the author has no problem sucking you in making this book extremely difficult to put down. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys history, particularly pirate history and 17th century Caribbean history. All in all, a great read. Hands down the best book I have ever read about pirates Hands down the best book I have ever read about pirates, privateers and the general history of both Europe and the Caribbean during that era. Easy to read, hard to put down. Thoroughly enjoyable. Fascinating read! I love historical fiction.....awesome. this book reminds of Wilbur Smith type of book. Loved it. Highly recommended, a must read if u like sea faring adventures Seems like incentivizing any endeavor improves its likelihood of An enlightening book about the history of the Americas and the role of Captain Morgan and his buccaneers in changing the fate of Spain and England in the struggle for control of the Caribbean, Central and South America. Interesting to learn of the pirates and their system of sharing spoils among all participants.

Title: Legends of the West: The Life and Legacy of Billy the Kid Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Jim Feldman Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-15 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In many ways, the narrative of the Wild West has endured more as legend than reality, and a perfect example of that can be found in the legend of William Henry McCarty Jr., better known as William H. Bonney or "Billy the Kid". Indeed, separating fact from fiction when it comes to the life of the West's most famous outlaw is nearly impossible, due in great measure to the fact that the young man himself cultivated the image of a deadly outlaw and legendary gunman himself. Though Billy the Kid may have killed anywhere from four to nine men in his short life, he was often credited for killing more than 20. With a wit as quick as his trigger, Billy the Kid had a bullet and a wisecrack for every man he killed, and his notoriety only grew when exaggerated accounts of his actions in Lincoln County eventually earned The Kid a bounty on his head. In December 1880, an ambitious buffalo hunter (and future Sheriff), Pat Garrett, helped track down and capture the famous outlaw, only for Billy the Kid to somehow escape jail shortly before his scheduled execution. There was plenty of gunplay in the outlaw's life to help him become a well-known if not celebrated figure in the West, but the legendary and controversial nature of his death has also helped him endure. A few months after his escape from jail, Billy the Kid was hunted down by Garrett in New Mexico once again, and it's still not completely clear whether The Kid was killed by Garrett in self-defense or simply murdered outright. Legends of the West: The Life and Legacy of Billy the Kid chronicles The Kid's life, while also analyzing his legacy and the mythology that has enveloped his story, attempting to separate fact from fiction to determine what the frontier legend was really like. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles River Editors) Mon, 18 May 2015 07:38:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Legends-of-the-West-The-Life-and-Legacy-of-Billy-the-Kid-Audiobook/B00XRS1DBW thebookvoice.com 01:03:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Harold Shipman Subtitle: The True Story of Britain's Most Notorious Serial Killer Author: Ryan Green Narrator: Ernie Sprance Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 01-29-16 Publisher: Ryan Green Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: The man on the cover of this book looks like he could be anyone's grandfather. It's easy to imagine him doting on his little grandkids, reading them stories from his lap and letting them play with his big, bushy beard. If you were told he was a doctor, I bet you'd imagine he was a good, kind and gentle one, with an easy, affable manner and deep care for his patients. Harold Frederick Shipman certainly projected all those qualities, but only so that he could hide the evil that lurked deep inside. Shipman abused his trust and used his position to kill - no less than 218 of his patients found their end at his hand, making him the United Kingdom's most prolific serial killer by a long shot. This book tells Shipman's story, from his childhood under a domineering mother to his pathetic death in a prison cell. It will put you in the perspective of those who lived and worked in proximity to him, showing you the considerate but sometimes haughty doctor he presented himself as before taking you through the process of wrenching off that mask and uncovering the full extent of the evil festering within. We will make a study of the man's possible motives and close with a look at the systemic failures that allowed him to kill and steps taken to make sure nothing like his murderous spree ever happens again. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ryan Green) Fri, 29 Jan 2016 23:24:17 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Harold-Shipman-Audiobook/B01B6T76R8 thebookvoice.com 02:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Dr. Death! Any additional comments? Green is a masterful writer in the true crime genre. Shipman was indeed one of the worst cases I've heard and Green does an excellent job of keeping the story riveting, concise and on track. Ernie Sprance does a lovely job, as always, of narrating this disturbing tale of a man who abused his power and preyed on the most vulnerable of his patients. Any listener who enjoys true crime will enjoy this book! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. I remember this Any additional comments? I remember this story when it was happening. Of course, back then everyone didn't have computers and the internet was almost a dream so information was very limited. This book provided all of the details and facts about the horror that was this man and what he did. It was interesting and got my full attention. This review copy audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost. Thoroughly researched concise retelling Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes - it's great for a car ride and keeps your interest from beginning to end because it's packed with one fact after another. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, it's a short book, so I found it to be an easy one-&-done listen. Any additional comments? I had never heard of Harold Shipman before, and I recommend it to anyone else with little to no background info on his cases. The only thing I missed in this book - besides preferring longer reads - is the lack of a detailed narrative, which I figured would be the case due to its duration. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Who Was The Notorious Serial Killer in Britain? Any additional comments? I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. This was pretty good. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/I-Am-Raymond-Washington-Audiobook/B01EVTHIMI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: I Am Raymond Washington Subtitle: The Only Authorized Biography of the Original Founder of the Crips Author: Zach Fortier, Derard Barton Narrator: Taj Shareef Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-16 Publisher: Zach Fortier Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: I Am Raymond Washington provides the listener with an unprecedented look into the life of the founder of the Crips. Forget everything you have been told about who started the Crips and why. Most of it is wrong - very wrong. Welcome to the only authorized biography of the undisputed founder of the Crips. Filled with interviews of friends, family, and acquaintances as well as people who knew and grew up with Raymond Lee Washington. Don't look here for horrific stories of gang violence and crimes committed by gang members; that has been done before. If you are looking for a factual and intuitive look into what made Raymond Washington unique on the mean streets of Los Angeles, this book is for you. This book is filled with stories and eyewitness accounts of those who knew who the real founder of the Crips gang was, looks at what he represented to the people who knew him, and hopefully explains why his name is still spoken on the streets of Los Angeles with hatred, fear, awe, and reverence. Entering the world of Raymond Washington with an open mind was difficult for me, but eventually the story of who he was as a leader, warrior, tactician, and mentor became clear. Hopefully it will become clear to the listener why the gang was so successful and how an apparently unremarkable 15-year-old kid in the fall of 1969 would sit down with his best friend and form what would become one of the single most successful yet feared and hated gangs in the world: the Crips. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Zach Fortier) Thu, 28 Apr 2016 01:36:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/I-Am-Raymond-Washington-Audiobook/B01EVTHIMI thebookvoice.com 03:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Hopefully it will become clear to the listener why the gang was so successful and how an apparently unremarkable 15-year-old kid in the fall of 1969 would sit down with his best friend and form what would become one of the single most successful yet feared and hated gangs in the world: the Crips.

Members Reviews: And I Thought I Knew Her Story I was born less than two years after Ruth Ellis was hung or rather, as the British judicial system prefers to put it " The law must run it's course". Every time Ruth's name came up in conversation my Mom would become quite tearful. We never discussed it. I never asked. I knew that it was 'taboo'. Like the author Carol Ann Lee I happened upon the 1980's movie 'Dance With A Stranger' and I too became totally mesmerized not only by Miranda Richardson's hypnotic performance as she 'became' Ruth Ellis, but by the tragic tale and how unfair the British system of law was seeing as this woman had only just miscarried of a child and was plainly out of her mind. Carol Ann Lee goes far and deep into Ruth's past. Follows up on everyone involved and even explores many plausible alternative plots that I initially thought were a little 'out there' however this was the same period as the Profumo affair and it appears that there were some lines of commonality. Maggie Ollerenshaw gave a phenomenal performance. I could listen to her reading from the Phone Book. FIVE stars all round. writer digs for deeper meaning than film version Would you consider the audio edition of A Fine Day for a Hanging to be better than the print version? both were very good What was one of the most memorable moments of A Fine Day for a Hanging? In todays world the woman would be viewed as a victim of [domestic] violence Did the narration match the pace of the story? fairly well Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I was deeply moved by the book Any additional comments? it gave a very good overview of the time period in Britain Tragic story -so well told. I love the true crime genre. and this is one of the best I have read (listened to) in years. So well written with impartial, genuine and honest regard for all involved. Balance redressed in Ruth's story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It's a compelling account of real life and times and a gross miscarriage of justice. What other book might you compare A Fine Day for a Hanging to, and why? One of Our Own by the same author is a further investigative account of a mass murderer, Myra Hindley. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Life-Death-of-Pretty-Boy-Floyd-Audiobook/B00D8K5USQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Life & Death of Pretty Boy Floyd Author: Jeffery S. King Narrator: Jack Chekijian Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Charles Arthur Floyd, better known as Pretty Boy Floyd (1904-1934), was one of the last of the so-called Robin Hood outlaws in the tradition of Jesse James, Billy the Kid, and John Dillinger. He engaged in numerous bank-robbing exploits across the Midwest until federal agents and local police shot him down near East Liverpool, Ohio, on October 22, 1934 - a feat which helped build the image of the modern FBI. This detailed account of his life, crimes, and death makes extensive use of FBI reports, government records, local newspapers, and contemporary journalistic accounts. Neither highly intelligent nor polished, Floyd relied on his cool demeanor, shrewd cunning, and expert gun-handling ability, but he was also considered by those who knew him to be generous and honest. During the depression, many people saw banks as enemies and Floyd as a hero, and helped screen him from the police. Once he left a large contribution at an Oklahoma church - and no one reported his visit. He was known to drop in at country dances, dance with the prettiest girls, and pay the fiddler well. One story claims that he kept a rural school in fuel one winter. He attended church regularly, even during intense manhunts, and visited his father's grave each Memorial Day, despite the risk of capture. In this biography, Jeffery S. King addresses many of the questions still surrounding Floyd, such as whether he had contact with other notorious outlaws of the period, including Dillinger, Alvin Karpis, and Bonnie and Clyde, and whether he was executed by the FBI. He also links Floyd to the infamous Kansas City Massacre. Particularly notable are King's assessments of the effectiveness of the FBI and of J. Edgar Hoover's talent for self promotion. Jeffery S. King is a freelance writer and retired reference librarian. His articles have appeared in Lincoln Herald, Sepia, and Utah Historical Quarterly. The book is published by The Kent State University Press. Critic Reviews: "Thoroughly enjoyable, informative, and suitably bloody." (Booklist) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeffery S.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Very readable Criminal Justice thesis This is a highly detailed and apparently exceptionally well researched biography of Chas Floyd, development of state and local policing, the early days of the FBI and J Edgar Hoover's early self-aggrandizement. Beginning with Chas's early days and family life, and progressing through his first prison sentence and how it affected his life, with very detailed reports involving his criminal career and demise. The material seems to have been gathered through police reports and an impressive amount of newspaper accounts and family interviews from that time period. It is presented in a very literary manner and woven together seamlessly. Considering the publisher, one wonders if this is also a required text for CJ majors. If so, the chosen narrator is one who usually does very well in using a cadence well suited to note taking, and it is a good fit. Considering all of the quotations amassed, it is pleasant to have a narrator who is able to utilize character voices so well. I feel that the narrator was able to transform a routine assignment into a rather pleasant read. One of our most notorious criminals... I received this audio book in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. This book is about the life and the death of Pretty Boy Floyd aka Charles Arthur Floyd. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Essex-Boys-The-Final-Word-Audiobook/B01EQQFWI8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-13 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 34 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: A vain man of good looks, small means, and no family links to the mob, Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano steadily worked his way up to acting boss of the Bonanno crime family, becoming its leader when official boss Joseph Massino went to the clink in 2003. But at a time when the Mob was crawling with secret operatives and informants caving to government pressure to flip, Basciano obeyed the code of La Cosa Nostra. "I got faith in one guy," he told a group of mobsters during a secretly taped meeting. That man was Joseph Massino, head of the Bonanno borgata. But for all his loyalty, Basciano was still a hot-headed, cold-blooded killer, which led to his arrest. Then, in a remarkable betrayal that shook the Five Families to their foundation, Massino secretly cooperated with the FBI - the first official boss ever to roll over. As a result, Basciano faced the death penalty, but a federal jury, disturbed by the prosecution's use of criminal informants, reached a surprising verdict. Veteran crime author Anthony M. DeStefano tells the riveting story of the last true believer in the Mob's cult of brotherhood and how he was betrayed by the only man he ever trusted.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Straight up and to the point writing style. What did you love best about Vinny Gorgeous? Straight detailed information unburdened by the writer's own attitudes or gossip. Who was your favorite character and why? The characters were all repelling to me. But the culture is fascinating and anyone curious about social intercourse would find the book fascinating. Great writing, free flowing detailed information, fast paced. Have you listened to any of R. C. Brays other performances before? How does this one compare? This is the first. I liked the narration. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When the big case was blown because of police corruption. Any additional comments? This writer is very talented in journalism. I like straight facts on the table. He has a very clean way of relaying information that I find very refreshing. He doesn't foray into manipulating the reader. Dry and Boring This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? If you like stories about organized crime told from the perspective of those involved, giving details of their activities, you probably won't like this book. If you like details about law and the court system you might like it. I found the book to be dreadfully boring. Has Vinny Gorgeous turned you off from other books in this genre? No. I love books about organized crime. Would you be willing to try another one of R. C. Brays performances? Probably not. He was pretty dry, but then again it might have had more to do with the book itself. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. I have listened to a lot of books on organized crime. Some are better than others, but up until this book, all have been interesting and entertaining. Very Interesting Look Into The Life of a Mobster What did you love best about Vinny Gorgeous? Although I had a challenging time keeping up with all the characters in this book, it was a very interesting look into the life of a mobster. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Il-Dottore-Audiobook/B002V0K68I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Editorial Reviews: Larger-than-life figures John Gotti and Paul Castellano figure prominently in Ron Felber's compelling Il Dottore, based on the true story of "mob doctor" Elliot Litner, a self-described "nerdy Jewish kid from the Bronx" who found the allure of the La Cosa Nostra lifestyle too difficult to resist. Jim Knobeloch's authoritative, no-nonsense performance pulls no punches and captures the grittiness and volatility of the mafia's heyday in the 1970s and 80s in Felber's unflinching look at the consequences of getting involved with "made guys". biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ron Felber) Fri, 08 Jul 2005 13:00:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Il-Dottore-Audiobook/B002V0K68I thebookvoice.com 07:14:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Enlightening Story of a Very Different World This book was incredible. What a story! The life of a respected doctor and how he lives a reckless double life. One life with the most notorious mobsters in New York and the other with his Jewish wife and children. It's amazing this guy lived to write this book. What shocked me most, is how involved the mob is in every aspect of business, government, politics. They have their hand in everything. Very scary stuff. It was interesting to hear how instrumental Rudy Giuliani was in bringing down some of the most famous Mafia leaders. I found the narrator to be quite good too. He has the inflection of the mob down pat, but needs to work on his Jewish accent. I actually had my jaw drop more than a few times throughout this book. It was a gripping and extraordinary listen. Incredible life of a reckless man I loved this book, it is a well written true story about a doctor who gets in bed with the mob and lives a crazy life...lives barely! The only problem I had was with the narrator. You hear his wheezing and sucking in air as he reads the story. It was a bit distracting for me. Il Dottore It is a good story but the narrator rushes it like he is in a hurry to finish the book. You have to listen hard or miss something. If he read it slower it would be four stars. NO NEGITIVE REVIEW HERE This is one of the most intriguing books I have ever listened to. Would the good Doctor do as the Mafia Bosses wanted to save his own life, or commit the unspeakable act of murder. The pressure must have been unbelievable. I'm not sure what I would have done. In the end the Doctor does what was a SHOCK to me!!! A GREAT LISTEN...DO NOT PASS ON RON FELBER'S GREAT WORK OF NON-FICTION. If it was me, I would have saved myself. Maybe the Doctor did. Listen and find out. The ending was SHOCKING! ii dottore save your money on this one. the author puts out as facts incidents that are not backed up by any other journalists. he puts his own slant and bias on events. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Pablo-Escobar-Audiobook/B01L0KBSUO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Pablo Escobar Subtitle: Savior or Dangerous Criminal - The Chronicles of Pablo Escobar, the Biggest King Pin the World Has Ever Seen Author: Michael Harris, Pablo Escobar Narrator: Dan Lizette Format: Unabridged Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-16 Publisher: Brian Green Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Before I began working on this book, I thought that I would be able to stick to the preconceived notions that I'd formed about Pablo Escobar some years ago when I first heard about him. And this is because I only thought Pablo Escobar to be a drug dealer who just happened to make a lot of money. However, the more I learned about Pablo Escobar, the more I realized that he was a man of many faces. I discovered that he embodied a weird but interesting dichotomy that helped him make many enemies and also gain many devotees. Known as "El Zar de la Cocaína" (The King of Cocaine), Pablo Escobar is regarded as the richest criminal in history. He acquired an estimated net worth of 30 billion dollars by the 1990s, and an estimated 50 billion dollars including money that was hidden away in different parts of Colombia. As leader of the unrelenting Medellín Cartel, Pablo Escobar obtained control over as much as 80 percent of the international cocaine trade. He was responsible for smuggling tons of cocaine through various parts of the world. He most frequently smuggled drugs into Colombia, the United States, Peru, Honduras, Bolivia, Canada, and Europe. Much of the cash he accumulated has never been retrieved since his death. The more money and power Escobar accumulated the more enemies he made. So much so that in order to protect his freedom and empire, he had no choice but to wage a bloody war against the Colombian government. In the wake of this war, Pablo Escobar organized and carried out the slaying of thousands, including public figures, journalists, police officers, politicians, innocent Colombian and US citizens, and other criminals. By the end of his reign as the most powerful drug dealer in the world, his body count has been estimated to be about 4,000. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael Harris) Mon, 29 Aug 2016 08:34:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Pablo-Escobar-Audiobook/B01L0KBSUO thebookvoice.com 00:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Getting to know Pablo Escobar Pablo Escobar is known to be the King of Cocaine and considered as the richest criminal in the history. This eBook serves as a great autobiography of Pablo Escobar. Discover the motivations of his actions by reading this eBook. Michael Harris did a great job in writing this eBook because it gave us the opportunity to know what he went through during his childhood days and we were able to see the different side of him that has a heart for the poor people. The author provided a detailed explanation about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar. I find this eBook very interesting to read because it contains all the important events of his life. I highly recommend this eBook to everyone who wants to know Pablo Escobar. Amazing story about the biggest drug villain of all time. This book is fantastic and well written. By the help of this book I have come to know more about the life of Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. He eventually escaped and went back on the run until he was shot and killed at the age of 44. This book was very interesting to me and I purchased this book a few weeks ago. Thought I had read this type of book before, but this book is one of my best reads. Inside of this book the author has described each story and crazy moment very clearly. It helps the reader further understand what actually happened. I have found some unknown information from this book and by reading this book I am pleased enough. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Needle-Work-Audiobook/B00USHUIEI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Her corpse had survived a botched attempt to burn it. An autopsy revealed that she'd been bound, beaten, sexually violated, and then injected with a lethal mixture of battery acid and heroin. Police suspected Nancy's friend, Carol Giles, 26, and Giles' boyfriend, Tim Collier, who had often boasted of a murderous gangland past. As the law's noose tightened around Giles and Collier, each fingered the other for the murder. Collier tried to hang another crime on Giles - the murder of her 500-pound, diabetic husband. But investigators soon learned the shocking truth: that the cold-blooded couple had killed Jessie Giles with a heroin-laced insulin "hot shot" and that Nancy, who had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, became the next to die. Convicted of the twisted murders, both killers are spending the rest of their lives behind bars. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Fred Rosen) Tue, 28 Apr 2015 20:26:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Needle-Work-Audiobook/B00USHUIEI thebookvoice.com 05:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The author did a nice job telling the reader all the facts. He created with words the pain and fear the victim must have felt and endured until the victim was finally killed. I would definitely recommend it to any true crime lovers out there, this is one book that is easy to read in a day and at the end not be left with the feeling of they didn't cover the crime enough! I usually try to read a book a day and I like to finish the book with out any regret of getting it and I feel if a person would take with this book, they will not regret it. Crazy story This was a book that goes into details about the victims. I know we are not perfect but nobody deserves to die so brutal. I am glad that Tim and carol got what they deserved. I think the death penalty should be bought to Michigan for people such as Tim and carol. Sad story and I would recommend this book to others. Great details and it really spoke volume for the families and victims. Great read!! It was well written and kept my interest all the way through to the end! I can't even imagine being tortured that way, or torturing someone like that! They are both sick, and where they belong for the rest of their lives!! Would highly recommend this for any true crime library! Great Book! This book came really fast and I was glad, the other reviews made it sound so good and it was. I had to read in like a week. Since it took place here in Michigan was even a better read. The book was never boring and I really liked it. I have read alot of Fred Rosen's books and I like all of them. Didn't FInd the Victims or Murderers Interesting This book was hard for me to get into. The crack-smoking, drug dealing pair who killed two people just plain weren't interesting. I have read other books by Rosen and generally like his writing but this seemed as if he was as uninspired by the topic as I was reading it. Most of the book consisted of the interview(s) conducted with the female of the pair who is eager to get loose and 'return to her children.' I found myself praying she wouldn't. The vocabulary was very limited, and I found the description of the crime incoherent and scampering around in time. Just not enough material and people who were basically boring. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Growing-Up-Jeffrey-Audiobook/B01DYR8MGO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I'm sure as hell not going to find it in here. This is the grand finale of a life poorly spent and the end result is just overwhelmingly depressing...it's just a sick, pathetic, wretched, miserable life story, that's all it is. How it can help anyone, I've no idea," quotes serial killer Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer upon his capture.

What happened to him in childhood that left him so bruised and broken? In the book, Growing Up Jeffrey: The True Story of Jeffrey Dahmer, author Brian Lee Tucker examines Dahmer's life from the other side of the coin, from his early childhood to his teenage years to his first murder - seen through the eyes of a young man who, feeling as though he had never been a part of anything normal and loving, kept his inner demons bottled up inside until he couldn't fight the urges he'd kept at bay too long, and exploded in a frenzy of sexual violence, murder, and unadulterated evil, his deviant sexual appetites finally satisfied - until he became lonely again.

It's refreshing to hear a book read as a screenplay, but the narrator is HORRIBLE Really interesting story Would you consider the audio edition of Growing Up Jeffrey to be better than the print version? Yes What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? I thought the ending when he gets caught was interesting. What does Jeff Hull bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I think he was engaging to listen to Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes Any additional comments? I liked the format of the book, as well. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killers-101-A-Detailed-Look-into-the-Lives-of-the-Most-Prolific-Serial-Killers-in-History-Audiobook/B01A7R6HAW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointed The book was basically a collection of extremely short interviews not necessarily by the killer. Didn't give much insight to the crimes or the motivation for the crime. I'm going to require a refund. Worst true crime text--ever! I enjoy reading true crime and am always on the lookout for something new. This book was especially appealing because it covers so many people and crimes.The organization of the book is interesting and the author has conducted a couple of person-to-person interviews with a few killers. However, where the author goes terrible wrong is in how he writes about the crimes. Mr. Tucker has no reverence for the dead. This is the most unethical reporting I've ever come across. He talks about how Ted Bundy "F*cks" his victims or the "tightness" of a certain child's "a**hole." This book should never have been published. Tucker is the measure of an insensitive reporter. The book's cover is cheesy/tacky and the writing style and language is elementary and sleazy. I wish I could give this book ZERO stars. Simply a waste of time. excellent loved it and we'll crafted in its descriptions and profiles of the killers and situations https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Exposing-Jack-the-Stripper-Audiobook/B01MT83995 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Western Outlaw John Wesley Hardin Author: Brian Lee Tucker Narrator: William Bahl Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-17 Publisher: Brian Lee Tucker Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: "A bullet to the front of the head demonstrates good marksmanship. A bullet to the back of the head demonstrates good judgment." So quotes John Wesley Hardin, one of the infamous killers of the old west. But, like modern day killer Henry Lee Lucas, was he more of a bragger than a killer? Or was he more of a serial killer than a gun slinger? Was it the loss of his only love, Jane Bowen that drove him over the edge? Or was he just born to be a killer? Find out. Author Brian Lee Tucker takes a new perspective on the many tales about John Wesley Hardin, painting a completely different picture of the man who claimed to have killed 42 people without feeling any remorse or guilt, and even bragging about his heinous crimes. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brian Lee Tucker) Wed, 16 Aug 2017 02:60:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Gun-Slinger-or-Serial-Killer-Western-Outlaw-John-Wesley-Hardin-Audiobook/B074SVGH4H thebookvoice.com 03:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Ballad of Danny Wolfe Subtitle: Life of a Modern Outlaw Author: Joe Friesen Narrator: Joe Friesen Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: A gripping, fast-paced account of the life of the indigenous man who founded and led the Indian Posse, one of the most dangerous gangs in North America, into violence, power, and infamy. In 2008, Daniel Richard Wolfe was awaiting trial on two counts of first-degree murder at the Regina Correctional Centre. This wasn't his first time in jail; from his teenage years his life had been marked by stints in and out of prison - with Danny sometimes finding his own way out. This time around, he was orchestrating his boldest move yet: a carefully plotted escape that would send the RCMP on a nationwide manhunt, launching Danny Wolfe to headline-topping notoriety. The Ballad of Danny Wolfe cinematically traces the storied years of Danny Wolfe's life, from his birth in Regina to his relationship with his mother, Susan Creeley, a First Nations woman who was forever marked by her experience in the residential school system; to his first brush with the law at the age of four and then his subsequent arrests; to the creation of the Indian Posse, the street gang he founded with a handful of equally disenfranchised indigenous friends; to the dissonance Danny felt between the traditional world he was born into and the criminal one that became his life; to the dramatic tensions over power and loyalty unfolding in the gang world and within the Posse itself. Drawing on unprecedented access to the Wolfe family and firsthand accounts from the people closest to the gang leader, Joe Friesen's portrait of Danny Wolfe is at once riveting and timely, nuanced, and provocative. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Joe Friesen) Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:00:58 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Ballad-of-Danny-Wolfe-Audiobook/B01MQWJ8XU thebookvoice.com 10:58:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Danny Wolfe would be roughly the same age as me ... Danny Wolfe would be roughly the same age as me, and I grew up maybe two miles away from him, but it may as well have been another planet. This is the fascinating story of his life and his role in the growth of aboriginal street gangs. It is incredible to see how all of the small events I remembered reading in the newspaper as a teenager fit together to create a now-international crime syndicate. Superb! This is a compelling account of the life of Danny Wolfe, from his rough childhood to his eventual position of leadership in the Indian Posse. At times you sympathize with Danny's plight; at other times you are horrified by his cruel and brazen acts. After reading this you'll never forget about Danny Wolfe, that's for sure. Highly recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Nixon-Audiobook/B002VA3OKA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Copyright ©1993 by Jonathan Aitken; Copyright (P)1994 by Dove Audio, Inc. Members Reviews: Nixon Reconsidered Interesting biography of a controversial political figure. As a liberal, I found it more appealing than I had anticipated. Great if you like your stories whitewashed Perhaps others have been unfairly negative to Nixon. This book goes the other way -- it glosses over his imperfections, and, as a result, makes him a much less interesting person. I certainly was no fan of Nixon's in the 70's but very much enjoyed his autobiography and found that he made a very good ex-president. For example, this author actually blames long hair and rock and roll for Watergate! He excuses Nixon's negative campaigning by saying, in effect, the other side started it. Aitken blames Watergate on Nixon's aides who supposedly limited access to Nixon -- but why did Nixon allow this? Aitken never tells us. The narration is good; there are some accents to differentiate speakers -- such as Kennedy and LBJ; and since I have not read a lot of biographies of Nixon, I cannot say whether a whole book on what a great guy Nixon was is really warranted. Certainly, he was flawed; but Aitken seems to think the main flaw was that he trusted too much; where most people think he trusted too little. Just as certainly, Nixon was able to accomplish quite a bit, at least with regard to foreign policy; and the book points out some successes with domestic policy as well. In sum, the book paints a flattering caraciture of Nixon, but fails to show his complexities. Junk Don't bother What disappointed you about Nixon? The narrator stunk he could not even pronounce Vietnamese. A lot is disjointed and inaccurate. Most of it is just plagiarized from the pbs and history channel documentaries. I just bought it because I am a Watergate buff. I have read over 100 books about Nixon and Watergate and this is the worst. This work is very unprofessional, I dont know how it even got published What could Jonathan Aitken have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I dont know were to start. I really dont think he should be an author. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator just has a bad voice. Mispronounces things over and over. His voice is nasal and annoying. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No Any additional comments? I really thing this book is way below audible standards and should be removed from the site. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Fighting-Terrorism-Audiobook/B002VA3JYG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Fighting Terrorism Subtitle: How Democracies Can Defeat Domestic and International Terrorism Author: Benjamin Netanyahu Narrator: Jeff Riggenbach Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 04-19-02 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In this newly revised edition of Fighting Terrorism, Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel's Likud Party and a noted authority on international terrorism, offers a compelling approach to understanding terrorism. Citing diverse examples from Germany, France, Italy, and elsewhere, Netanyahu demonstrates that domestic terrorist groups are usually no match for an advanced technological society, which can successfully control terror without any significant curtailment of civil liberties. But Netanyahu sees an even more potent threat from the new international terrorism that has emerged recently. From Beirut to Buenos Aires to Manhattan, it is increasingly the product of Islam militants, who draw their inspiration and directives from Iran and its growing cadre of satellite states. The spread of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, coupled with the possibility that Iran will soon acquire nuclear weapons, poses a more frightening threat from an adversary less rational and therefore less controllable than was the Soviet Union. How democracies can defend themselves against this new threat concludes this innovative and concise work. Critic Reviews: "An excellent primer on the groups, motives and methods of the current terrorist threat."

Listen with the thought that it's his point of view with documented facts, and you'll enjoy it whether you agree or disagree. Great Book Benjamin Netanyahu gives a lot of history. His insights and ideas are intelligent. Whenever we start to feel beat down by terrorism we should remember his lessons contained in this book. Fascinating & Relevant While I dont agree with all of Mr. Netanyahus assertions. This audio book will cause you to look at the Arabs living in Israel (particularly the West Bank and Gaza) in a different light. If even a fraction of his statements are true then the so-called Palestinian cause is much more sinister then the media would have you believe. This work is very applicable to the situations now facing the United States. Well written from the author's perspective. Obviously, the author has the credentials to speak on this issue, and he conveys his perspective very well. The first 3/4 of the book are very well written and provide a very good insight into terrorism. However, the last 1/4 of the book becomes very biased, as could be expected. Spot On Netanyahu is spot on, despite the time that has passed since this book was released. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killers-Audiobook/B01BF8RXPU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An interesting listen Any additional comments? I thought this was an interesting book some of the information I already knew. It was great to listen to the ones I had not. I found the author did his background on the stories writing the truth on each criminal giving the facts as they happened. I found Jack Chekijian as the narrator to have done a great job. He has a strong deep voice which adds to this type of read. He has a voice that is easy to listen to as he lays the facts out giving this an interesting listen. There are no background noises just a very clean clear audio. There are no character voices but that does not take away from the audio at all. I feel his voice goes very well with this genre giving the correct tones and passion to the read. It is never easy to take these terrible crimes and read them but Mr. Chekijian does and outstanding job making the read feel the emotions and understanding just how these people are and the terrible things they have done. This is the first time I have listen to anything by this narrator. I do look forward to listening to more of his audios. If you are looking for the fact of a Serial killer you will find them in this book. Their time of Death Row is always longer than it should be. Sometimes they go from death row to life in prison. Is this right you will have to decide. It is also interesting to see what type of death they pick, sometimes they arent given a choice. They most always want to live never seeing what they did as wrong. They will fight to the end to stay alive not caring that they didnt do the same for their victims. I have always been interested in this genre the human mind is something else. I can never understand why they do what they do. Some say there is something wrong with the mind it isnt normal. One lady did send the brain off but it came back as a normal one. The question is still there why and what makes these people do what they do. Do you blame it on the background, what they had to deal with growing up, or is it in their nature, are they missing something most of us have. I am sure if you are into serial killers like I sure there will be some you will already know and others in this book you will get to meet. good book. this book was good. it was informational and somewhat entertaining. I'm not normally a fan of non fiction but this was enjoyable. the narrator was excellent. he has a very good voice for creepy books, it sounds very sinister.

(Previously published as Texas Love Triangle Murder/Bloody Sequins.) Members Reviews: wonderfully narrated Have you listened to any of Debbie Andreens other performances before? How does this one compare? Debbie Andreen's narration was beautifully done, nice voice and perfect expressions in all the right places. I truly enjoyed listening to this book, I will look for other books she narrates. Meh I usually like Casey's books but I found the narrator in this one to be incredibly distracting. Using "quote" and "unquote" for presumably every third-party statement was odd. Not my cup of tea. Houston area tales of Murder Narration was great. The stories were riveting. As a native Houstonian I am always interested to read true crime stories from our area. My hometown has many dark tales to tell. I didn't even realize the book was based in this area until I started listening. Totally random pick through Book Bub. What a surprise! loved it Very nice detailed account without being too lengthy in each story . I would recommend without hesitation. great performance Nice collection of stories An easy listen. These are of older cases, so if you're looking for recent stories you may be disappointed. I watched one of the cases reenacted on TV a few months back. The narrator did a good job as well. If you're into True Crime, you'll enjoy it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Mafia-Queens-of-Mumbai-Audiobook/B01NAT3J4K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Interesting book This book has to read with Dongri to Dubai. These two books complement each other. The author is a veteran crime reporter and has covered a wide section of female mafia, contract killers and molls of Dons. As his earlier books, this is engrossing and worth the money. Though I would say that the proof reading was extremely poor. Too many spelling mistakes in the book. The book lost its charm in the later half The book starts with brilliant details and description of the so called "Queens." But towards the end fails to keep up to its expectations. Good research, but felt disconnected at multiple places The narration was not upto the standards of Dongri to Dubai. I believe the characters could have been more related to the characters and incidents which Zaidi sahab narrated in Dongri to Dubai. At least I wished that. But Still hats-off to the amount of research he has put in. Four Stars very good book. I never new so many mafia queen existed in mumbai Five Stars simply superb! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/I-Pearl-Hart-Audiobook/B002V1LYG0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I, Pearl heart In the last several years i,ve been reading like there's no tomorrow . in that time, the words of approximately 1000 books have traveled through my mind (all western). at the end of each i write on the front page a short comment. some i"ve had to use a 3x5 card for more space. I,pearl heart is one of those books. the story will make your heart feel like you should jump into the book and help pearl get through life. i felt like jumping in and strangling some of the villians, hugging the very few good people. i am emotional anyway but was surely hopping pearl would find happinees by the end, or i,d burn the book. this was one of the best books ever. Worth your time A very well told story.

Title: King of the Mountains Subtitle: The Remarkable Story of Giuseppe Musolino, Italy's Most Famous Outlaw Author: Dan Possumato Narrator: Edoardo Camponeschi Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-18-14 Publisher: Dan Possumato Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: In 1897 the young Italian peasant Giuseppe Musolino was falsely convicted of a crime and sentenced to 21 years at hard labor. He soon escaped, and began hunting those who had played a role in his false conviction, extracting an ominous and lethal revenge, killing as many as 25 people. For three years he eluded a massive manhunt conducted by hundreds of police and even a full regiment of the Italian army. He soon became a hero to the common people of southern Italy, who risked imprisonment themselves to hide, protect, and sustain him. When he was finally captured his trial had to be moved to a location 600 miles north because the government believed no jury in the south would convict him. At the time of the trial The New York Times wrote that he was "the most remarkable being that has ever stood behind the bars of Italian justice."

Would you listen to King of the Mountains again? Why? Yes. This story of the outlaw Giseppe Musolino is facinating. Can he truly be likened to a Robin Hood character, or was he essentially a criminal. Musolino's young life is not without disapprobation, However, his resentment for perceived injustices feel genuine here. Conjecture the extent of injustices suffered by him, and the true character of this popular rogue. What was one of the most memorable moments of King of the Mountains? His escape from prison and survival in the mountains evading recapture. Unfortunately, this is relatively short lived given the length of time spent incarcerated. What about Edoardo Camponeschis performance did you like? Delivery with accents very good. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Short story, so yes. Any additional comments? I have given the highest overall score as is a true story and very enjoyable. The content and delivery have been marked down a star as Musolinos's escapades end suddenly in the middle of the story, when he returns to jail. The remainder of the narrative bullet points and explains facts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/You-Could-Do-Something-Amazing-with-Your-Life-Audiobook/B018Y0MIS4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: You Could Do Something Amazing with Your Life Subtitle: You Are Raoul Moat Author: Andrew Hankinson Narrator: Daniel Weyman Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: This is a work of narrative nonfiction based on the last days of the fugitive Raoul Moat, a Geordie bodybuilder and mechanic who became nationally notorious in Britain one hot summer's week when, after killing his ex-girlfriend's new lover, shooting her in the stomach, and blinding a policeman, he disappeared into the woods of Northumberland, evading discovery for seven days - even when TV tracker Ray Mears was employed by the police to find him. Bizarrely, alcoholic ex-England footy star Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne also played a role, trying to get a fishing rod and a chicken to Moat by taxi. Eventually, cornered by the police, Moat shot himself. Andrew Hankinson, a journalist and a Geordie, tells Moat's story in the second person, which means that the listener is uncomfortably close at all times to Raoul Moat. It is an audio experience unrelieved by authorial distance or omniscient interpretation. Everything comes from Moat's mind - from his recordings and writings - and the narrative Hankinson has woven is compelling, even if Moat's sentimentality, suspicion, and self-pity are never far from sight. This is a narrative in the great tradition of Norman Mailer or Hunter S. Thompson - or, given its North of England flavour, Gordon Burn or David Peace. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Andrew Hankinson) Thu, 11 Feb 2016 13:37:45 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/You-Could-Do-Something-Amazing-with-Your-Life-Audiobook/B018Y0MIS4 thebookvoice.com 03:33:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Jonathan Kessler Format: Unabridged Length: 57 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-16 Publisher: J.D. Rockefeller Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Life is what you make it. Nobody can ever tell how in the world a young middle-class and innocent boy became one of the most wanted and most notorious criminal in the world. Sometimes, circumstances can change an angel into a devil and vice versa. A person is the only one who can decide for his own life and of the future that he would love to have soon. Money is one of the things that can make a person change into someone that is very unlike of him. Pablo Escobar is one of those innocent people who became the most destructive person of the past due to some changes in his life that had a great influence on him. Who says that only those celebrities are the most influential and most famous persons on Earth? Pablo Escobar is famous not because he is a celebrity, but because he was one of the most notorious and richest Colombian drug lords who has supplied over 80 percent of cocaine that was smuggled into the United States. Pablo Escobar was widely known in the world as the "King of Cocaine" and became a big name in the industry of black market when he became the wealthiest criminal who had ever lived; with an estimated net worth of about 30 billion US dollars way back in the early 1990s. Aside from that, he had an approximately 50 billion US dollars with his money that was buried in several parts of Colombia. This book tells the beginnings and the brutal rise, as well as the fall, of the world's most dangerous outlaw and Colombian King of Cocaine Pablo Escobar, whose injustice criminal empire and reign held a whole nation of over 30 million hostages. His criminal empire has brought a reign of complete chaos and terror that would only end with Pablo Escobar's death, and this had happened after a 16-month manhunt for Escobar. At his height and peak of success in the 1980s, Pablo Escobar owned planes and fleets of luxury boats, and 19 different residences and mansions in Medellin, each with its very own helipad. biacuaduc@gmail.com (J.D.

Members Reviews: Not what you think it is, this is not a regular book. Buyer beware.... Very disappointed, I should have read the reviews before I ordered this. This is NOT a regular book. This book is a very large book like 8.5 X 11 inch size, very short and hard to read. My husband asked me to buy him a Pablo Escobar book, and I found this and didn't pay attention to what I was ordering I guess. Don't waste your money like I did Half of the sentences don't make sense, as if it was poorly translated from another language. The "chapters" are all about 2 paragraphs long, and have striking resemblance to Wikipedia articles in content. Would not recommend. Terrible book-was not a book Terrible book-was not a book, just a high school summery. Badly written by a elementary student I do not recommend this to anyone-waste of money The book looked like someone made it with there home printer it was ...

Title: Mickey Cohen and the West Coast Mob Subtitle: Washington's Crackdown on Vegas and Los Angeles 1950-1960 Author: Bradley Lewis Narrator: John C. Zak Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 04-14-14 Publisher: BBL Books Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Mickey Cohen, who died in 1976, was a colorful, feared West Coast gangster-gambler who knew the biggest names in Hollywood including the Rat Pack, was a confidant of Bugsy Siegel, a friend of Las Vegas' late Liz Renay and on first names with the biggest guys in the Mafia, plus Frank Sinatra, Richard Nixon and Billy Graham. Brad Lewis' book about Cohen draws from thousands of resources - a virtual treasure trove of Mafia-related books, articles and interviews. Written by a tough and knowledgeable insider, Lewis tells the whole Mickey Cohen story during the period when he was involved in the McClellan Hearings in Washington and the beginnings of the Senate Select Committee on Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, also known as the Kefauver hearings. All the whispered anecdotes, the news items and the underside of the crime rackets where Mickey operated are in this book, open to scrutiny. From Bugsy Siegel to Lucky Luciano and Albert Anastasia to Meyer Lansky and Carlos Marcello, Mickey knew them well and worked closely with them for many years. This is Mickey Cohen! Inside and out!

Title: Serial Killers True Crime Subtitle: Cold Blooded Terrifying Serial Killers from Around the World Author: Damien Rollins Narrator: Francesca Townes Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 07-03-13 Publisher: Lloyd Lewis Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: We live in a society obsessed with monsters. Think of all the television shows and movies in just the past two years featuring vampires, werewolves, and assorted creatures of the night. We like being scared, screaming in the middle of a crowded movie theatre and then awkwardly pretending it was someone else. The feeling that we can go home safe, believing that it wasn't real. But, monsters are real, and human beings can be the scariest of them all. It's an unfortunate fact that real life is sometimes more twisted than even the worst horror writer can imagine. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than when discussing serial killers. While many people can understand, if not condone, a crime of passion or vengeance, it is different for those who kill, time and time again, for reasons that the common person, could not hope to understand? Those familiar with the Criminal Minds series will already know that the FBI has spent a great deal of time and resources in tracking, capturing, and ultimately understanding serial killers. According to them, a serial killer can be classified as such if he (used loosely since there are female serial killers): These points help to distinguish a serial killer from spree killers or even mass murderers, since these two groups tend to lack a cooling off period. However, some experts have suggested the inclusion of a hybrid "spree-serial killer" category. This is because some serial killers have experienced prolonged periods of sequential murder without the expected "rest" in between. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Damien Rollins) Wed, 03 Jul 2013 10:26:15 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killers-True-Crime-Audiobook/B00DQU83YG thebookvoice.com 01:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Creepy but informative Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If you like learning about aberrant violent behavior, this is a good book. Short, but a well laid out explanation of what a serial killer is. Also, listening to a book like this is maybe better than reading because when you read, you have a tendency to read through some passages too quickly and not really get all the info. I really feel that I learned a lot for the time invested. What was one of the most memorable moments of Serial Killers True Crime? It was interesting to hear what Jack the Ripper and Jeffery Dahmer actually did when they murdered. It's different from what I always thought. What does Francesca Townes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I thought that Francesca Townes did a great job. Very nice voice and articulate, and read at a good pace. Okay junk book, great narration Kind of a crap book but reasonably entertaining for a short road trip. The bit at the end about Thug Behram was unexpected and therefore interesting. I wasn't interested in the preface about the author at the beginning. These serial killer junk books are almost always narrated by men trying hard to imitate the guy who does all the movie trailers. So, it was refreshing to hear a female voice in what was otherwise familiar territory about famous serial killers. Classed it up a little and kept my interest. Can't figure out why the "performance" has gotten lowest ratings, since it's the best thing in the book. Like a TV Documentary This audiobook really sounds just like a documentary you might see on the History Channel, but no music. I actually found this audiobook because I like this narrator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Serial-Killer-Couples-Audiobook/B007I83ML6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: High school b&w movie Content is interesting, but the narrator makes me recall those head-down-on-the-desk b&w films all students are subjected to. Nice for napping in class, which is free, a waste of money tolerating the narration. Advice to Flowers: re-record the book with new narrator! Meh. This novel quickly goes through some of the worst serial killer couples in history. If you can get past the terrible narration, it is an average read. If you find serial killers intriguing and if a fuzzy, badly edited narrator does not bother you, this book is for you. bit boring this book was okay to listen to whilst at work but was very boringly read and gave no new information. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/A-Complicated-Woman-South-Carolina-Notorious-USA-Audiobook/B01AIYSEZ0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: An interesting read Interesting and yet complicated enough to not hold my interest. Although true, there was enough exposure on TV to understand the workings of the human mind. A human mind that is scary. Excellent quick read! This is a great quick easy read by Author Caitlin Rother about 3 South Carolina murder cases involving Sue Stidham Logue, Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins Jr., and Dylann Storm Roof. The stories were well researched and very well written. I highly recommend this book to any TC fan. Well written and researched. Very interesting and quick read. As someone who enjoys true crime and Caitlin's writing, I can absolutely recommend this short. Makes me want to read others in the series. Leave it on the shelf This was not a great book. Grammar errors were consistent. The structure of the story just didn't work. It was more a series of articles, all of which could have been much better written. Four Stars The book was very interesting, but it was a lot shorter than I expected. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/A-License-to-Steal-Audiobook/B002VA9F0S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not what I was expecting... Dull at best. I saw a story on this on TV and was excited to read this book. The storyline was choppy and I could not get into the book. I enjoy Mafia/mob type books, but this one was nothing special. I kept hoping for more substance, but in my opinion, one story ran into another and nothing particularly interesting was revealed. I also question the author's account of his father's inventions. Seems that the father really got a raw deal in life. Disappointing Depressing. Nothing about any jewel heists. Not one you have to buy.... The story kept losing my interest. I was surprised because I read a lot of the ratings for this book but it just couldn't keep my attention. A real story about a Father and his Son I couldn't help but see the first review posted. This person declines to identify themselves. This book is not about the Dinner Set Gang. If you would read the book you would of seen that. This book is about a genius father and a disgruntled son. True there are references to the Dinner Set Gang. Walter was not an original member, but he was a member at one time. The original members stole from their own and when Walter realized that he left and started his own group. Since then others have cloned their methods. Walter was a great jewel thief who is no longer in business. He has been a family man and a wonderful husband and father. The original members of the Dinner Set Gang are still thieves and some are still incarcerated in prison. I would highly recommend the book. I happen to have been involved in a small way investigating this gang and Walter Shaw and found the book based on my research to be accurate and true. I would recommend it to anyone. Help! They Stole My Time! If you read the press on this book, or looked at the cover, you would think this is a book about crime, at least in part. It's not, it's a memoir of a guy sad about his father being ripped off and how that turned him into a thief. He won't talk about actual crimes or how me may or may not have committed them. A lot of time talking about what he couldn't or wouldn't talk about, which would have been the interesting stuff (the crimes). I wanted to like this book, but it was written in a disjointed manner that made it hard to follow. Even the rather pivotal moments, like how his dad got ripped off for his phone inventions, are described in a fuzzy manner as if he expects the reader to know the story already. I didn't! The timeline is not linear, it jumps backwards and forwards and it's hard to keep a story going to get interested in. This book was written by an author who must have had the story told to her by the principle, and I'm guessing she was confused by things too, but unable to afraid to go back to the guy and iron out the wrinkles before publishing it. Unfortunately, the only stealing that goes on here is your time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Elizabeth-Bathory-Audiobook/B01NAJMS9E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The startof the book's pretty much like all i have read before but towards ... The startof the book's pretty much like all i have read before but towards the end it became a bit more like it with new suppositions ".......Not Jack" Another theory casting Thomas Cutbush into the mantle of being Jack The Ripper. Though well researched and excellently presented, Mr Bullock needs to take heed of the fact that Cutbush is not a very believable suspect. academically and journalistic gorgeous without the typical ripper gore focus The Man Who Would Be Jack: The Hunt for the Real Ripper Apr 4, 2017 byÂDavid Bullock I voluntarily received a copy of this book for review purposes Another book for Ripperologists, presenting yet another suspect. However, rather than ripping up priceless paintings like a certain author, Bullock writes like a journalist/scholar with extensive background and end-notes while leaving out the gore and blood that most Ripperologists seem to dwell on. Handled more like a dissertation or a lengthy news report, everything is laid out by time, place, data and witness. This take more effectively builds a case than many other Ripper theories that involve arcane rituals, missing (burned) doctor notes or Goddess save us, Johnny Depp movies. Some of the book reads like a novel but this does not take away from the well-built case. The beauty of the book is not only the well laid, perhaps best laid case, for the serial killer, but the story of the journalists who chased the story with the drive of Woodward and Bernstein. There is also a dark, Dickensian beauty in the description of the horror of these destitute women's lives and the men who used and abused them well before Saucy Jack got to them. Truly unfortunate is the Victorian journalist's habit of using initials so that the reader, as well as the writers, face a certain frustration in tracking back sources properly. Great book, excellent research, a credible suspect that we haven't heard much about and perfect end-notes and incredible documentation. I'm a very amateur Ripper kind of girl, but this was very well done. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/A-Murder-over-a-Girl-Audiobook/B01BG0ELX4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On Feb. 12, 2008, at E. O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, CA, 14-year-old Brandon McInerney shot and killed his classmate, Larry King, who had recently begun to call himself "Leticia" and wear makeup and jewelry to school.

As visions of victim and perpetrator were woven and unwoven in the theater of the courtroom, a haunting picture emerged, not only of the two young teenagers but also of spectators altered by an atrocity and of a community that had unwittingly gestated a murder. Drawing on firsthand observations, extensive interviews and research, as well as his decades of academic work on gender and sexuality, Corbett holds each murky facet of this case up to the light, exploring the fault lines of memory and the lacunae of uncertainty behind facts.

Not the way you think I have never reviewed a book before because I feel there are those who know much more about the printed word than I do. I had to comment on this book, though. The whole book is about Mr. Cohen rotting in jail. The only ratpack mentioned were the vermin behind the walls at Alcatraz. Maybe he named the Frank, Sammy, Peter, etc. Granted, I only read the first 2/3 but I could not see things getting much better. Five Stars great Four Stars Not a bad read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Madoff-with-the-Money-Audiobook/B002V8MK8O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Madoff with the Money Author: Jerry Oppenheimer Narrator: Oliver Wyman Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 55 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: Madoff with the Money is a deeply disturbing portrait of Bernie Madoff, based on dozens of exclusive, news-making interviews. From the values Madoff was taught growing up in the working-class town of Laurelton, Queens, to his high-life on Wall Street and the super-rich enclaves of Palm Beach and the French Riviera, best-selling author Jerry Oppenheimer follows the disgraced money manager's trail as he works his way up the social and economic ladder, and eventually scams his trusting clients in a $50-billion Ponzi scheme. Through Oppenheimer's in-depth reporting, you'll discover new revelations in this startling case, and become familiar with the trusting victims - ranging from non-profit Jewish charities to the likes of seemingly sophisticated individuals, such as actress Jane Fonda, who would "like to shake Madoff until his teeth fall out"; the scion of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, who lost a bundle and was forced to rent out rooms in his house; and New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg. There's even Madoff's own sister-in-law, and talk show host Larry King, who apparently didn't ask the right questions when he invested. All lost their much-needed life savings, while others saw fortunes small and large evaporate in the greedy financial operations of one of history's all-time charlatans. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jerry Oppenheimer) Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:29:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Madoff-with-the-Money-Audiobook/B002V8MK8O thebookvoice.com 09:41:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good listen I enjoyed this book. Before I listened to the book I really didn't know much about the Madoff's. Now I know as much as I ever wanted to know and I thought the book did a good job explaining the past, present, and future. I also thought the book was well read. Ken Deupser very disappointed What disappointed you about Madoff with the Money? completely superficial, gossipy, repetitive. I didn't want high finance, but I did expect to learn something. Would you ever listen to anything by Jerry Oppenheimer again? can't judge by one book, proably not Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Oliver Wyman? He reads it as though he's a voice actor in a DIsney movie; the accents are overdone, the tone is lacking any seriousness. Not good for this subject. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Madoff with the Money? all the fake Jewish/yiddish stuff Disappointing What disappointed you about Madoff with the Money? Compilation of gossip... Never did get around to saying how he did it or WHERE all that money went. Yes, the Madoff's did have extravagant spending habits however, doesn't even try to describe how one man could have constructed and carried out such a massive scheme. If half as much investigation had been done regarding financial shenanigans as shopping and personal habits, might have been worth my time. Yes, Bernie and Co. are unlikable.... he had affairs, he swore a lot. Nothing about him as a financier. What could Jerry Oppenheimer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Do some business research...everything seemed to be pulled from People or National Inquirer. What about Oliver Wymans performance did you like? Reader was okay You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not really. I kept waiting for 'the meat' of the criminal activity. DIdn't deliver. I loved this book Fascinating story. I enjoyed it so much I read it twice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/The-Acid-Bath-Murderer-Audiobook/B01N0V0MC2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He had an exaggerated sense of entitlement, and would seek out victims who could support his lavish lifestyle. What is most abhorrent in this true crime murder story is not that he killed six people, but rather what he did with them after they were dead. Newspapers and tabloids would shout out headlines of John being a "vampire", a man with a blood lust who drank the blood of those he killed. But was he really a vampire? Or was John just a very clever man? The undoing of John Haigh came about when a missing person case quickly progressed to a homicide investigation. The police officers involved stumbled across a scene so horrific, it would stay in their minds forever. You see John had learned an interesting skill while incarcerated for fraud - how to dissolve a body in sulfuric acid. Of all the true crime serial killers, John was different because he didn't kill out of some need to hurt people. He murdered to gain access to his victims bank accounts. A man from a deeply religious home, John grew up to want more money, the flashy cars and the fancy clothing. When he started to run out of money, he sought out his next victim to bankroll his lifestyle. A cold-hearted ruthless man with no thought or care for others, does John's motive make classify him as one of the worst serial killers of all time?

Title: The Acid Bath Murderer Subtitle: A Terrifying True Story of one of the Worst British Serial Killers Author: Jack Rosewood Narrator: Thomas Stone Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 12-29-16 Publisher: Wiq Media Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: One of the more unique British serial killers, John George Haigh killed simply because he wanted more. He had an exaggerated sense of entitlement, and would seek out victims who could support his lavish lifestyle. What is most abhorrent in this true crime murder story is not that he killed six people, but rather what he did with them after they were dead. Newspapers and tabloids would shout out headlines of John being a "vampire", a man with a blood lust who drank the blood of those he killed. But was he really a vampire? Or was John just a very clever man? The undoing of John Haigh came about when a missing person case quickly progressed to a homicide investigation. The police officers involved stumbled across a scene so horrific, it would stay in their minds forever. You see John had learned an interesting skill while incarcerated for fraud - how to dissolve a body in sulfuric acid.

Learn about the Acid Bath Murderer and decide for yourself. Members Reviews: "A True Crime Anthology" This is a unique account of a serial killer in Great Britain. John George Haigh enjoyed killing, and he felt entitled to do so. He killed six people and what he did to them after death the tabloids tagged him as a vampire. He did have a lust for blood, like it was a fine wine. But the abhorrent thing he did when he was finished with the bodies was to dissolve them in sulfuric acid. The story is well written and intriguing. It is only 84 pages but the authors have added many more historic events of murder cases as well as murders in 2015-2016. All of these added factual stories and highlights are very interesting; however, I wish a List of Contents were added to make it easier to back track to once read entries. A Spine Chilling Read I saw the 2002 British television film, A Is for Acid, based on the life of the serial killer John George Haigh, known as the Acid Bath Murderer, because he dissolved the bodies of six people (although he claimed to have killed nine) in sulfuric acid. Haigh, hanged in 1949 for his crimes, had wrongly believed that murder could not be proven without the presence of a body. This is yet another biopic read thatâs really hard to put down. It's an insightful and graphically detailed account of some of the most horrific serial killers. In fact, while reading yet another of Jack Rosewoods books (with Rebecca Lo), I just had to keep turning the pages yet again. Not necessarily because it's all that enjoyable in any way, shape or form, to delve a little too deeply into the malefic minds of such murderous men, but because I sincerely believe that most people are fascinated in one way or another by serial killers. Perhaps itâs the human morbid fascination with death. Iâm not exactly sure. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Bios-Memoirs/Angel-of-Death-Audiobook/B00OAKXN8M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/313/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Murat Subtitle: Celebrated Crimes, Book 15 Author: Alexandre Dumas Narrator: Robert Bethune Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-15 Publisher: Freshwater Seas Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals Publisher's Summary: To paraphrase the note from the translator, the Celebrated Crimes of Alexandre Dumas Père was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language - has minced no words - to describe violent scenes of violent times. In this, the 15th of the series, Dumas, the novelist-historian, brings his storytelling skills to a subject famous at the time but less so now: Joachim Murat, the brother-in-law of Napoleon Bonapart, who established him as King Joachim the First of Naples. Joachim is nothing if not an attractive, indeed romantic hero. A man of extraordinary courage, instrumental in at least three of Napoleon's greatest victories; a man loyal to a fault to his friends, tender and loving to his wife and family, yet also a man of boundless ambition. His courage drove him to greatness; his ambition brought about his fall. Dumas has one focus throughout this series: great crimes. As we progress through this story, we begin to wonder: Where's the crime? We have derring-do, we have intrigue, we have hairbreadth escapes, we have great dangers both from the forces of nature and from the hands of man, but we have no crime. That is until we reach the very end, and then we have a monstrous act indeed, done by the orders of the highest of royalty. Of course Dumas, the dramatist and novelist, cannot help embellishing the work of Dumas, the historian. He gives us words and actions that cannot possibly be part of the historical record from scenes that are as effectively histrionic as they are undocumented. However, all his melodrama is well based on history, and he certainly makes a wonderful tale out of his materials. Dumas may have collaborated on this, as he frequently did in his works, with other writers. Nevertheless, it is clearly Dumas who has the final say on this work, as with all the other works in this series.

Critic Reviews: Eureka is a great tale, a rollicking story with momentum that sweeps the reader along to the climactic explosion of violence.' (The Australian) Members Reviews: the narrator was hard to listen to An Aussie accented narrator would of been easier to listen to. very informative and factual. Not the best telling of the story of Ned Kelly First of all I don't like this authors (Peter FitzSimons) style of writing or history. Second, the narrator Richard Aspel is dreadful. Thirdly, there are better books than this one on the telling of the Ned Kelly Gang incidents. Peter FitzSimons isn't a very good historian, but he does try. He tends to take a side and skew the telling. Don't get me wrong, he can write and his newspaper column is one of my favourite Sunday readings, but his telling of history is not good. He tells a story, that some might like to listen or read but not me. Richard Aspel seems to make every sentence a drama filled statement, even when it isn't. I don't think he could read a dozen words without stopping which makes the continuity hard to listen to. By the end of the book, I just wanted the whole thing finished with. It was hard to get through this book, mainly due to his narration. If the epilog had introduced the book, without the what happen to the characters after Edward Kelly departed us (spoiler alert) this book might have been forgivable, but it is too one sided, too 'the truth is in the telling' and too sensational. I have listen and read some other of Peter FitzSimons books and as an author, he doesn't impress me, as a media personality, I like him, as a historian I am not happy with. This book was a personal quest for Mr FitzSimons who describes it as "a big boofy bearded guy writing about a big boofy bearded guy". (Not exact quote). If you like Mr FitzSimons story telling, then buy the book and read it and skip Richard Aspel narration.
