Title: Piggyback Author: Jeffrey Dean Doty Narrator: John N Gully Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-16 Publisher: Jeffrey Dean Doty Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On the evening of December 3rd, 1957, seven-year-old Maria Ridulph and her eight-year-old friend, Kathy Sigman, were playing in the new fallen snow on a street corner in the sleepy town of Sycamore, Illinois. A stranger approached the girls, introduced himself as "Johnny" and offered them piggyback rides. When Kathy Sigman ran home to get her mittens, she left Maria and Johnny behind on the street corner. Little did she know that she would be the last person to see Maria Ridulph alive. The FBI was called in and the search for Maria and her kidnapper caught the nation's attention. President Eisenhower and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover demanded daily reports from the field agents. Nearly six months later, Maria's remains were discovered in a thicket 100 miles away. The search for Maria's killer went on, but all leads were slowly exhausted and finally the case went cold. A series of events begun by a mother's deathbed confession led to Jack D. McCullough being convicted for the murder of Maria Ridulph 55 years after the crime, making it the oldest cold case in U.S. history ever to be successfully prosecuted. Follow along with the author as he investigates this historic event to discover if justice was truly served, or was another tragedy piled on top of the first, riding piggyback? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeffrey Dean Doty) Thu, 28 Apr 2016 20:56:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Piggyback-Audiobook/B01EVI84Y0 thebookvoice.com 07:11:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I Love true crime Although I love true crime, I found this book to be a little dry. I don't know if it was the author or the narrator but I could not get into it. Saying that I found the case and the overall story very interesting. I was provided this book at no cost by the author narrator or publisher for a honest review piggyback This book is absolutely great. Loved the ending. You should be a detective. loved it Robotic narrator Any additional comments? About 20 minutes in and I just can't see myself listening to this narrator for the upcoming hours. SO dry and almost inappropriately cheerful sounding - in other words utterly disconnected from the content. The writing sounds fine, like the author may have an interesting perspective on this very interesting case, but I think I'll find a YouTube documentary instead. Returning it. Real Life Mystery, still to this day Would you consider the audio edition of Piggyback to be better than the print version? I haven't read the book, so can not compare. I did go online after listening to the book for updates and pictures. What a touching and sad story for the family of Maria, but the wrong man was convicted. What was one of the most memorable moments of Piggyback? The whole story of how the they went after Jack years later. What? Why? There were so many obvious lies and he HAD AN ALIBI! What a misuse of justice there. I was happy to find he has since been released. What about John N Gullys performance did you like? He did a great job with this story. I was interested from the start to the finish. If you could give Piggyback a new subtitle, what would it be? Justice gone so wrong Any additional comments? This audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review. The complete story of Jack Mculloughs conviction Any additional comments? Piggyback completed the story that the news media only began to tell about the conviction of Jack McCullough. Great investigative work by Jeff Doty. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Kiss-Before-Dying-Audiobook/B078K3B6WG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Kiss Before Dying Author: Pamela Colloff Narrator: Staci Snell, Karissa Vacker Format: Unabridged Length: 47 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Random House Audio Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Pamela Colloff's "A Kiss Before Dying" is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. Few stories feel as classic as a well-told ghost story, the kind that makes your hair stand on end or sends chills down your spine even years after its alleged happening. Almost as classic are those stories that take place in high school, starring the jocks, the cheerleaders, and the outsiders; nostalgic for a time that almost certainly never was and yet remains a stalwart of American storytelling. Pamela Colloff's "A Kiss Before Dying" is both kinds of story and what's more, it's all true. Betty Williams was an outsider at a time when conformity was king: Texas in the 1960s. Mack Herring was the quintessential football player, handsome and well-liked by the sweater set-wearing girls Betty scoffed at. When their unlikely relationship came to an end and Betty's life began to spiral, she asked for death and Mack was more than happy to oblige. The resulting trial of Betty Williams's murder would shock no one familiar with the resolutions of today's rape cases. In "A Kiss Before Dying," Pamela Colloff weaves together a story that's part true crime, part high school classic, that feels at once contemporary as it does of another time. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Pamela Colloff) Tue, 09 Jan 2018 22:21:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Kiss-Before-Dying-Audiobook/B078K3B6WG thebookvoice.com 00:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Surrounded by the Great Lakes and divided in two, Michigan has a special mystique. Violence extends from a city like Detroit to more genteel college towns, lake resorts, and the murky backwoods. A deer hunter might stumble into Deliverance, a child could meet a serial killer, or a love-struck admirer may focus on a killer. Here, we have murders turned into movies, record victim tolls, innocent choices that led to horror, and the darkest side of high society. Critic Reviews: "Katherine Ramsland has made many valuable contributions to the fields of forensic psychology, crime analysis and criminal justice as exemplified in her books The Human Predator and The Mind of a Murderer among others. It is rare to find someone with the breadth and depth of knowledge that Dr. Ramsland commands, even more so for such an individual to also be a gifted teacher and a wise and compassionate human being."

A legendary figure in history, Vidocq is known as the first detective and an inspiration to great writers such as Honore de Balzac, Victor Hugo and Edgar Allen Poe. As a player in the criminal underworld, Vidocq is a master of disguises and an accomplished thief, eventually turning his unlawful talents toward catching criminals as the first French chief of secret police. Playing both sides of the law, Vidocqs life highlights the blurry line between law enforcement and the criminals they pursue. Vidocq has a knack for finding trouble throughout his topsy-turvy life, getting into one hot situation after another, often finding himself behind bars, only to escape the first chance he gets. This book will take you on a whirlwind tour of 1830s France, including the circus stage, pirate ships, prison cells and beautiful womens boudoirs. Vidocqs life story is unforgettable and includes some of the best crime stories and juicy tales ever written.

Members Reviews: Detective, Master Thief--Model for Sherlock Holmes Its hard to believe this hasnt been on audio before. Get ready for a revelation: Vidocq was an 18th century master thief, who so bedeviled the French police that they eventually begged him to become their Master Detective, turning the tables on crime. He founded the Sûreté Nationale as well as creating the FIRST private detective agency, He is indeed the Father of modern criminology! Arthur Conan Doyle said that Vidocq directly inspired him to write his Sherlock Holmes series. Vidocq's memoir, literally, is the first police procedural novel-- and its still mesmerizing. Like Sherlock Holmes, Vidocq had no special technology or advanced science to solve his crimes or set criminal traps-- only his wits and knowledge of the criminal mind. Like Holmes, he was, perhaps, a sociopath. He had no interests except in The Game. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dumping-Ground-Following-the-Trail-of-the-Hillside-Stranglers-and-Their-Victims-Audiobook/B013TGEWFK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The city streets are a carnival, they are burlesque. The city moves like an insect. It scurries. Neon beats against the window like a probe, even in the day. And somewhere, buried deep within this crazy world, are two killers who call this place home. Their hunting ground. Their dumping ground. One of them, a man whose birth given name was Kenneth Bianchi but whom his friends know as Ken, waits in the shadows sipping beer and smoking a cigarette and watching the show with delightful glee. These women he sees - whether they be a Valley Girl or a lowly prostitute - all seem to remind him of his mother. His mother had been a prostitute who'd given him up as a child. When he first grew up and can remember, he was dressed as a girl by his mother, and he stayed that way for two or three years. And after that he was treated like what he would call the dog of the family. But that was long ago and far away; that was then and this is now. Tonight, his senses are accelerated and he can hear the pain and the sin on every street corner. It's like they were calling to him, for him and his cousin Angelo to end their pain and suffering once and for all. The world around him continues to live and breathe, and as he watches sinners kiss, as he watches them gambol and dance, he is reminded of why he's really here. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brian Lee Tucker) Thu, 13 Aug 2015 05:57:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dumping-Ground-Following-the-Trail-of-the-Hillside-Stranglers-and-Their-Victims-Audiobook/B013TGEWFK thebookvoice.com 02:39:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: what a waste~ 1 STAR PLOT: story of the Hillside Stranglers Poorly done sounds like they recorded it in their garage on a cheap recorder. This drones on you have to work to even listen to it after the first 5 minutes. This goes into salacious detail of the murders of the young women and the 2 men who raped tortured and dumped their bodies. Do not bother to purchase this. This is the first time I have ever said that is hundreds of purchased. 1 STAR is being generous. The quality of the recording is pathetic. Not the best. I read true crime a lot and this is not at all what I was expecting. It was very...raw. Not in biographical format or even a storytelling format. It was graphic without much explanation as to why or how the events were happening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/McMafia-Audiobook/B002UZJK54 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He managed to capture the true sentiment of that time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Written-on-the-Skin-Audiobook/B002UZN4PG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Written on the Skin Subtitle: An Australian Forensic Casebook Author: Liz Porter Narrator: Elizabeth Kaye Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 08-14-09 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In a close examination of an assault victim's body, a forensic physician can 'read' the terrible alphabet that fists and weapons have written across it. A crime scene investigator notes the tiny indentations on the fragments of a tin can identified at a bomb site, enabling him to find the can opener that made them - and the bomb-maker who used it. A forensic dentist identifies the thief who dropped some chewing gum, with his teeth marks in it, during a burglary. Liz Porter's riveting case book shows how forensic investigators - including pathologists, chemists, entomologists, DNA specialists, and document examiners - have used their expertise in dozens of fascinating crimes and mysteries. Editorial Reviews: Liz Porters fascinating Written on the Skin has that rare distinction of being a truly unique and wholly entrancing work: a casebook recording, in intricate and abundant detail, a body of forensic fieldwork that may seem, to the average listener, almost akin to magic. Voice actor Elizabeth Kaye uses her warm, dry voice to great effect in her performance of this audiobook, and her careful, consistent tone is well-suited to Porters subject matter: the methodical review of corpses which can reveal so much about the circumstances of their lives, and deaths. Critic Reviews: "Elizabeth Kaye narrates this Australian forensic casebook with vitality and intelligence. As she presents the particulars of selected cases solved by forensics - the 2002 Bali bombing, a fatal hit-and-run in Victoria, the Lindy Chamberlain case - listeners grow to understand that crime technicians don't have the glamour jobs seen on the popular C.S.I. shows that pepper the TV airwaves. Each of the 10 chapters deals with one special area used to solve cases, including 'Reading the Blood,' 'Reading the Bones,' and 'Reading the Crime Scene'. Porter's writing style mixes science with storytelling, and Kaye's reading is as exciting as the scientific study of decomposition can be, taking listeners through labor-intensive tests of bugs, bones, blood, and DNA. Well-organized research and a solid reading make this gripping listening."

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in forensic science. The factual presentation of the various topics and explanations surrounding the different cases made the book very interesting. What did you like best about this story? The short case presentations, the events occured in Australia. Which character as performed by Elizabeth Kaye was your favorite? Nil Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? yes the entire novel is overwhelming Not enough true stories Seemed more sciencey than true stories. Not my favorite book but not the worst either. I really wanted to like this, but... What would have made Written on the Skin better? This book jumped around almost at random, dropping references to cases and then taking multiple chapters to get back to them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Sex-Slave-Murders-Audiobook/B00F3IVY8Q Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I used this book as a reference for one of ... I used this book as a reference for one of my projects at University and it really helped. The book definitely helped to delve into their murky past, and enabled me to explain the psychology between both killers. I was a bit disappointed..... Not as gripping as I expected it would be - quite pedantic in fact. Maybe I was expecting too much. Horrible I listened to the audio version and found myself wishing it to be over. The narrator does a horrible job on it in case anyone is curious. However, my rating is about the content of this "book." There is very little depth to this book. It would be OK if you want a short overview of the cases and just a small glimpse of the biography of the killers, but you could probably also get that from Wikipedia. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Released-to-Kill-Again-Audiobook/B00ITYTM12 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Internal Combustion Subtitle: The Story of a Marriage and a Murder in the Motor City Author: Joyce Maynard Narrator: Janey Ivey Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 63 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On Mother's Day night, 2004, award-winning fourth grade teacher Nancy Seaman left the Tudor home she shared with her husband of 32 years in the gated community of Farmington Hills, near Detroit, Michigan, and drove in a driving rain storm to Home Depot, to purchase a hatchet. Three days later, police discovered the mutilated body of Bob Seaman - a successful auto industry engineer, softball coach and passionate collector of vintage Mustangs - in the back of the family's Ford Explorer. As the shackles were placed on her wrists, Nancy Seaman asserted that her husband had been beating her, and she'd killed him in self-defense. At her trial, two radically different stories emerged. One of the couple's sons, Greg, testified that his father had been abusing his mother for years. The other, Jeff, testified for the prosecution, charging his mother as a cold blooded killer. Joyce Maynard's chilling work delves beyond the events of the crime itself, to explore the lives of an American family who seemed to have everything. Her exploration of the story led to a year's research in suburban Detroit - but the story she found there will take the reader to the Depression-era farm country of Illinois, the working class neighborhoods of the auto industry in its heyday and even, surprisingly, to a Baptist church in burned-out downtown Detroit. Along the way we meet a Transylvanian forensic pathologist, a beautiful young prosecutor, an old-school police chief, a television news crew hungry for ratings, the softball scorekeeper mom accused of carrying on an affair with the murdered man, and her two shell shocked teenagers, still reeling from the death of their beloved coach, and a mother who has to tell her daughter why her favorite teacher won't be in school any more.

Members Reviews: There are no charmers here. A married school teacher drives to Home Depot on a rainy night and buys the hatchet she will soon use to kill her husband. Interesting story, right? No. It's actually really dull. I began listening to the audiobook because I wanted an answer to the question, "How do couples get to hatchet murder?". (I'm still not sure.) I kept listening to the audiobook to answer the question, "How and why did Joyce Maynard write such a lousy book." That, for me, became a much more interesting mystery. Here's what I think: Maynard knew fairly early on that she had no angle on the story and no affinity with the people involved, but she had bills to pay and was reluctant (as anyone would be) to eat all the time she'd spent researching with no payday. So she did what writers do - she put words on pages. What to include? Everything.Want to know what game the five year old daughter of the woman who now lives in the house where the murder was committed was playing when Maynard finally got the owners to agree to let her see the place? It's in there! Along with an account of every unreturned phone call and every interview request refused. And there are lots and lots of those. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Unexplained-Disappearances-Audiobook/B06XKLM616 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

At a distance, a farmer and a policeman saw lightning strike the rocks of the Stonehenge of Salisbury; at the same time, they heard the terrifying screams of several people.

All in all the book me to thinking. I would enjoy reading more from this author. Unexplained disappearances are intriguing I found this book to be well written, and the author did a superb job of researching the material, I hope to find more books by the author, his writing style is unique and he holds your attention from beginning to the end. Four Stars good stories holds your interest Bizarre missing people I found this book very entertaining and mysterious, I think of those poor people and wonder what happened to them and will we ever know. My only regret is that it is not longer as I love mysteries like these. Fun easy read A very enjoyable quick read. I was disappointed it ended so quick. I would definitely read more by this author. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Nightmare-at-Noon-Notorious-Texas-Audiobook/B013FLM43G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Short True Crime Stories What did you like best about Nightmare at Noon: Notorious Texas? What did you like least? The book shared some true crime that I had not heard before but being someone who listens to a lot of True Crime it didn't really hold my interest. What was most disappointing about Ron Franscell and Gregg Olsen s story? Nothing disappointing if you want to read about a couple of cases but if you want to hear the MEAT of some of the accounts this is not the book for you. What three words best describe Kevin Pierces performance? Narration was good for the book. Well Done True Crime Tales This collection is a captivating look at some of the more notorious crimes out of Texas. I found it chilling, entertaining, and memorable with excellent narration. Highly recommend to true crime fans. my player skipped all over the plce.pos!!! my player skipped for jo reason and made it difficult to listen.to the story. it is super frustrating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Man-Who-Loved-Books-Too-Much-Audiobook/B00374S6LG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Man Who Loved Books Too Much Subtitle: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession Author: Allison Hoover Bartlett Narrator: Judith Brackley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 242 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: John Charles Gilkey is an obsessed, unrepentant book thief who has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of rare books from book fairs, stores, and libraries around the country. Ken Sanders is the self-appointed "bibliodick" (book dealer with a penchant for detective work) driven to catch him. Journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett befriended both eccentric characters and found herself caught in the middle of efforts to recover hidden treasure. With a mixture of suspense, insight, and humor, she not only reveals exactly how Gilkey pulled off his dirtiest crimes and how Sanders ultimately caught him, but also explores the romance of books, the lure to collect them, and the temptation to steal them. Immersing the listener in a rich, wide world of literary obsession, Bartlett looks at the history of book passion, collection, and theft through the ages, to examine the craving that makes some people willing to stop at nothing to possess the books they love. Editorial Reviews: Who knew book collecting could be so provocative? Yet in journalist Allison Hoover Bartletts hands, that rarefied world and the eccentric characters who populate it represents one of lust and obsession, and of crime and punishment. In The Man Who Loved Books Too Much, Bartlett, who first reported the true-crime tale for San Francisco magazine, introduces us to two rabid collectors, each a funhouse-mirror image of the other. Theres John Gilkey, the remorseless thief who swiped hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of rare books not for profit (he seldom unloaded from his robust collection), but for love. And theres Ken Sanders nicknamed Bibliodick by friends the bookstore owner and dealer who relentlessly (and, in the end, successfully) pursues him. Helping the six-hour narrative flow along and flow it does, effortlessly weaving in a history of book collecting (and book thieving) with all the gumshoe action is narrator Judith Brackleys smooth delivery. Measured, steady, patient, her voice contains the quiet rhythms of an NPR reporter or a Sunday school teacher. But this isnt to say Brackleys interpretation doesnt veer toward buoyant effervescence from time to time. Indeed, describing Gilkeys bold crime sprees elicits an especially enthusiastic cadence you can almost imagine the authors jaw dropping when she heard the amazing anecdotes for the first time. Though Bartlett makes a noble attempt to delve into the psychology of her characters, she doesnt make many inroads, instead just circling around the same question over and over again namely, just what it is about books, of all things, that seem to turn normal people mad. The most delicious moments, in fact, may come when Bartlett inserts herself into the story; as Gilkey begins confiding more and more about his crimes, the objective journalist becomes entangled in the narrative, wondering what actions, if any, she should take. As read by Brackley, these confessional moments are when the book really comes alive, drawing you in as if its Bartlett herself speaking right into your ear.

Here is a preview of what's in the book: Members Reviews: Interesting But Disappointing Most of these I'd never heard of - Jimmy Hoffa and the Lindbergh baby are exceptions. This book had potential. The typos, bad grammar, and lack of any editing ruined it. I would have given up on it except it was so short. Having the cases in chronological order would have helped. It jumped all over the place - which any editor or even a good beta reader could have pointed out. Missing People is a fast-paced, well-written mystery. Missing People is a fast-paced, well-written mystery. Actually, there's several mysteries that are being told in this book. These missing persons dealt with realistic struggles about life not ending up like they had expected. I would become so immersed in the story that I lost all track of time, and I had a hard time setting the book down even when I really needed to. I felt like this story really could happened to any of us. The stories held my interest throughout; it clipped along very well. boring, or repetitive Unlike other books of a similar nature, Malcolm Cliver's writing is refined; he includes the information and details needed to get an adequate understanding of the cases discussed without becoming simplistic, boring, or repetitive. It was refreshing to read a well written book on this topic. perhaps the most poorly written book I have ever read This book reads like it was written by a 12-year-old. It uses slang and poor grammar. Don't waste your money on this book. It was written by a complete amateur and edited by no one I have enjoyed reading this story and it is just sad for ... I have enjoyed reading this story and it is just sad for me since it was too short. I want more scenes and characters. But overall characters and plot were interesting and I got a great read and grabbed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Hastened-to-the-Grave-Audiobook/B002UZZAYY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This doesnt sound like the Jack Olsen I know and the worst part was the narration. Had Kevin Pierce done it I wouldve kept going but after two hours I had to quit. Unbearable. Not his best I did not care for the writing on this one. I really wondered if this was ghost written. The reading was uncomfortable I really did not think I would finish it Another Winner From Olsen As usual, Jack Olsen spins fantastic back stories and takes all the back roads to give us yet another fascinating true crime tale https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Cold-Cases-Solved-Vol-2-Audiobook/B015RP2956 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Cold Cases Solved Vol. 2 Subtitle: More True Stories of Murders That Took Years or Decades to Solve: Murder, Scandals and Mayhem, Book 10 Author: Mike Riley Narrator: Stephen Aulridge Jr. Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 09-25-15 Publisher: Maica International LLC Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: This follow-up audiobook to Cold Cases Solved continues where the first book left off detailing more true stories of criminal cases that went cold and were eventually solved, sometimes many years later. Some of the cases include: The closure attained by solving these cases must at least provide a modicum of relief for the friends and family of the victims. The authorities involved in the investigations and in bringing the perpetrators to justice must also feel a sense of accomplishment when they are able to successfully close a long-standing case.

Some of these cases I knew about but did not know they had been solved. I was particularly interested to learn that the Kennedy cousin accused of murdering a girl with a golf club has been exonerated, and the true murderer is in prison.At the time he was acquitted, many people thought he had gotten away with it because of being related to the Kennedys, and there were a lot of hard feelings about it. This book is well worth reading. Don't waste your money on this book Don't waste your money on this book, it is just a rehash of information available on the internet with many many grammatical errors. Does not offer insight into why and how the cold cases got solved such as Cold Case Files does. The book is very small too, no case photos or anything like that either were included. No research, poor writing! Interesting and Sad This book covers just a few of the many homicides that become cold cases each year. It was good to know some have finally been solved, but sad to know many years went by before family and friends finally got some closure. In some cases it was long after grieving family were no longer alive to see justice at least partially accomplished. A Thrilling Page Turner This is one of the best non-fiction books that I've read this year. The Sherri Rasmussen story was particularly creepy. If you enjoy reading true-to-life murder stories, I highly recommend you get this book. I just got a copy for my dad. Glad the author released another volume. Can't wait for the next one. Justice too Late This is a book about cold cases finally being solved mostly through the advances in DNA testing and forensics. Including the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, where 4 little girls were killed. Although justice was done, in most of these cases it came too late. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Wilderness-of-Ruin-Audiobook/B00UAZWEHC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "A chillingly drawn, expertly researched slice of grim Boston history." (Kirkus) Members Reviews: A jumbled, muddled mess Too many irrelevant characters. Too much unnecessary detail. Poorly constructed chronology. There was simply no need for over half of the book. Why the author thought it necessary to tell Melville's lIfe story (or believed it was relevant to the main character) is beyond me. Presumably, it was to show a) Melville believed that whiteness could represent evil, and b) Melville struggled with mental illness. If that was the reason, though, surely it could have been accomplished in a briefer fashion? Regardless, the reliance on Melville turned this into an incoherent mess about a number of unconnected Bostonians rather than an interesting biography of a troubled, psychopathic youth. Not much about Jessie Pomeroy Lots of historical information about Boston, the fire, current events and Herman Melville. Not really a true crime story. Disappointing. Don't Waste A Credit Would you try another book from Roseanne Montillo and/or Emily Woo Zeller? Maybe, but I would read the reviews before trying another book by this author. Has The Wilderness of Ruin turned you off from other books in this genre? No, I have read other books in this genre that were very good. How did the narrator detract from the book? I found her louder than necessary when quoting dialog or newspaper headlines. Not sure why she felt it necessary to try to deepen her voice when making these announcements, women don't generally do deeper voices very well. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Wilderness of Ruin? Would, at a minimum,cut all of the Melville nonsense. The story line was hard to follow. I thought it was going to be mostly, if not all, about the young serial killer and the effort it took to bring him to justice. Not so. I am still trying to figure out what the message in all of the various stories is, nothing seems related. Squirrel!!! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? i have no idea...the performance was fine.

Members Reviews: Excellent Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I have already recommended it. I think the story is wonderfully written and performed. This is a case I hadn't heard of and was surprised at how much interest it held. What other book might you compare Missing Beauty to and why? I am not sure I have a comparison. I am a big fan of Dateline & 48 Hours Mystery and this was right up that alley. Which scene was your favorite? My favorites were any time the Doctor was interviewed or spoke. I could just feel his deceipt. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? It was. There were also good stopping points, so I didn't feel like I had to. Oh boy, I was ready for this to be over along time What did you like best about Missing Beauty? What did you like least? It was wordy and the real developement of the characters did not add to the finish. tiresome really. Did the narration match the pace of the story? too wordy, many details over and over. and over Was Missing Beauty worth the listening time? not really. I listen to a lot of books,have for years and I consered not finsinging this book everytime I got in the car. Juicy and salacious... A guilty pleasure of a book I listened to this book over a year ago and never wrote a review, but I was reading the mixed reviews and thought I should chime in. I didn't think it to be too long or too detailed. All the little details were important for fleshing out the story. Several times I shook my head at what a pathetic loser the professor was. Especially all the money he embezzled and the embarrassing love letters to the prostitute. The guy had a combination of exemplary book smarts and zero street smarts. And I think his wife knew a lot more than they let on. Great suspense, nice and long. And interesting detective work. Thumb up. TOO MUCH! I'm a huge fan of true crime titles and generally enjoy the back stories of those involved. In this book, there is just way too much. Too many characters, too much unrelated detail, too much verbiage... Too much. I gave up after the first of the three downloadable sections because I got bored waiting for the story to actually start. Oh the upside, L.J. Ganser does a fine job with the narration, and Teresa Carpenter can write. Former professor kills a hooker What made the experience of listening to Missing Beauty the most enjoyable? I thought it was one of the most in depth murder stories I had ever listened to, or read. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? It touched all the bases, and didn't leave you with any questions. I liked that the most. What does L. J. Ganser bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I thought it was well read, & I enjoyed the reading. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No, but I enjoyed it. I didn't want stop listening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Hollywood-Murders-and-Scandals-Audiobook/B00ZPPI908 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On April 26, 1871, a police constable walking one of London's remotest beats stumbled upon a brutalized young woman kneeling on a muddy road - gashes were cloven into her skull, her left cheek was slashed open and smashed in, her right eye was destroyed, and above it a chunk of the temporal bone had been bashed out. The policeman gaped in horror as the woman held out her hand before collapsing into the mud, muttering, "Let me die", and slipping into a coma. Five days later she died, her identity still unknown. Within hours of her discovery on Kidbrooke Lane, scores of the officers of the Greenwich Division were involved in the investigation, and Scotland Yard had sent one of its top detectives, John Mulvany, to lead it. After five days of gathering evidence, the police discovered the girl's identity: Jane Maria Clouson, a maid in the house of the renowned Pook family...and she was two months pregnant with Edmund Pook's child when she died. Murphy carefully reviews the evidence in the light of 21st-century forensic science in order to identify Jane's killer as Edmund Walter Pook. Using a surprisingly abundant collection of primary sources, Murphy aims to re-create the drama of the case as it unfolded, with its many twists and turns, from the discovery of the body to the final crack of the gavel - and beyond. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Paul Thomas Murphy) Mon, 11 Apr 2016 21:28:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Pretty-Jane-and-the-Viper-of-Kidbrooke-Lane-Audiobook/B01DMDMP3G thebookvoice.com 08:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The Atlanta Journal-Constitution) Members Reviews: Lacks analysis I was shocked by the racism & classism of this book (e.g., narrator description of the perpetrators of violence & crime). I could not finish this book because this fault was too disturbing. How can a book be about the victims' perspective without an appreciation of systemic forces that contribute to violence & crime? Superlative Narration!! Where does Victim rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 3. What other book might you compare Victim to and why? In Cold Blood What does Gregory St. John bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? An amazing performance, not just narration, but actually acting out the book. Emotional, tense, frightened, angry, scared, dolorous....you will feel them all and hear them all in his voice. Any additional comments? I will definitely look to Gregory St. John's other performances for such realism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Americas-Early-Serial-Killers-Audiobook/B00PX72HMY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Well researched A well researched and written book about America's early serial killers. The book is proof that H H Holmes was not Americas first serial killers but perhaps one of the most famous. My only problem with the book was the lack of details with the Benders who are America's first serial killing family. But it was still a good book. a bit of forgotten but important history lost cases that show, even in Colonial times, people killed. Also how the cases were investigated was very interesting. Not the tools available today.... Early serial killers This was well written and gave info that was researched. Serial killers from the past were as vicious as present day monsters. It was disconcerting to learn of this tainted past. A good accounting of the murders It would have been a bit better if the author had included a bibliography. It is very important to note sources of information when writing a book such as this. The writing is good, despite a few editing errors. The story tells in some detail of the people murdered by this serial killers and the efforts if the police to find them. It is a gruesome read as you might expect, several murders are described in detail. The writing is not that of a well seasoned writer but it doesn't take away from the telling. If this book is edited to include the bibliography, I will upgrade to five stars. Wish It Was Longer This is the first book I have read by Mike Riley and apparently he has many. Although this book was short (about 68 pages) it was chock full of information. Sometimes I had to read sentences a few times. I wish it was longer but I guess I will just have to read his other books. If you are into serial killer books and you like your books short, then I recommend this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Confidential-Source-Ninety-Six-Audiobook/B071HTJCZY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Confidential Source Ninety-Six Subtitle: The Making of America's Preeminent Confidential Informant Author: Roman Caribe, Rob Cea Narrator: Rick Zieff Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In Confidential Source Ninety-Six, the man who goes by the pseudonym Roman Caribe recounts the harrowing life he's led as the most successful confidential informant in the history of US law enforcement. A onetime mastermind narcotics distributor, Caribe first saw the tragedies caused by the drug trade with his own eyes as he got to know the women involved with his business partner and the children that they raised. By the time Caribe was arrested in a drug bust, he had made up his mind to get out of the business for good. Rather than beat the charges, as his lawyer advised him to, he would confess, flip sides, and work for the federal government. He has spent the two decades since working for a web of federal agencies, leveraging inside information and connections gained while living his own criminal past to launch audacious operations that no other undercover agent would dream of. While projecting the swagger of a drug lord, Caribe gets inside the minds of the gang and cartel leaders he goes toe to toe with. He becomes an actor risking everything to perform every night - one minor slip in his character and Caribe and his family may disappear forever. And when leaders of Mexico's Sinalao Cartel, which he was trying to ensnare, tracked down Caribe's home and visited his wife and children there unannounced, he was forced to uproot them and confront the unthinkable dangers that he brought into their lives. Unfolding in Southern California mansions, makeshift DEA trailers set up in the middle of the redwoods, and the anonymous fast food parking lots where kilograms of cocaine and heroin changed hands, Confidential Source Ninety-Six is the epic saga of one man's quest to redeem himself in the eyes of his family and a thrilling, intimate look at the law enforcement battle that rages on beneath our noses. Critic Reviews: "It is hard to imagine a more dangerous job than being a high-level confidential informant.... [T]hey are integral to law enforcement in solving crimes, seizing narcotics, infiltrating gangs, and preventing terrorist attacks.

I think that this is fiction masquerading as non-fiction. This book sounds very similar to another book that I have listened to. It sounds all to stereotypical. Another "drug kingpin" who really didn't want to have anything to do with selling drugs. Who, only after he gets busted decides he can't stand his partner. His partner that is equivalent to the lowest scum on earth, yet this is the guy that enabled you to have all of the money that you know have. Oh and lets not forget the wife that doesn't want her husband to involved with selling drugs either yet doesn't seem to mind the lifestyle that drug dealing provides for her and her children. This has to be fiction and stereotypical fiction at that. There is nothing here that you haven't already seen and heard 100 times already. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Murder-in-the-Stacks-Audiobook/B017RS7YK6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Murder in the Stacks Subtitle: Penn State, Betsy Aardsma, and the Killer Who Got Away Author: David DeKok Narrator: Eddie Frierson Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: David DeKok Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On the day after Thanksgiving in 1969, Betsy Aardsma, a 22-year-old graduate student in English at Penn State University, was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library at the university's main campus in the small town of State College. For more than 40 years, her murder went unsolved. Aardsma was smart, pretty and kind, and the Pennsylvania State Police could not figure out why anyone would want to kill her. This book reveals the story behind what has been a scary mystery for generations of Penn State students, naming the likely killer and explaining why the police failed to bring Richard Haefner, also a Penn State graduate student, to justice. Much of the blame goes to Penn State itself, and especially to the killer's thesis adviser. The suspected killer, who died in 2002, was a pedophile who sought out women as cover for what he was. Although there is no known link between Haefner and Jerry Sandusky, the notorious former assistant football coach at Penn State, the listener will learn that more than one pedophile found a safe haven at the school during the same years. More than a simple true crime story, the book weaves together the events, culture, and attitudes of the late 1960s, memorializing Betsy Aardsma and her time and place in history. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David DeKok) Tue, 10 Nov 2015 00:21:05 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Murder-in-the-Stacks-Audiobook/B017RS7YK6 thebookvoice.com 15:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Murder in the Stacks Subtitle: Penn State, Betsy Aardsma, and the Killer Who Got Away Author: David DeKok Narrator: Eddie Frierson Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-10-15 Publisher: David DeKok Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On the day after Thanksgiving in 1969, Betsy Aardsma, a 22-year-old graduate student in English at Penn State University, was stabbed to death in the stacks of Pattee Library at the university's main campus in the small town of State College. For more than 40 years, her murder went unsolved. Aardsma was smart, pretty and kind, and the Pennsylvania State Police could not figure out why anyone would want to kill her. This book reveals the story behind what has been a scary mystery for generations of Penn State students, naming the likely killer and explaining why the police failed to bring Richard Haefner, also a Penn State graduate student, to justice. Much of the blame goes to Penn State itself, and especially to the killer's thesis adviser. The suspected killer, who died in 2002, was a pedophile who sought out women as cover for what he was.

Members Reviews: FASCINATING! SOLVED! Sad to think that so many years have gone by and this murder of such a promising young lady remains officially unsolved. But author David Dekok seems to have found the killer and solved the case. This isn't a conspiracy theory or wishful thinking but an incredibly well investigated examination of the evidence. Dekok is a veteran journalist and it shows as his writing paints a compelling picture. A fascinating book and one that I hope will lead to the State of Pennsylvania closing this open cold case. It is a shame that this ruthless killer with a short temper got away, literally, with murder. Highly recommended! And there is a new afterward in the audiobook only that is NOT in the print edition as even more was uncovered after the original publication of the print book. If you enjoy true crime this is about as good as it gets! Well read and extensively researched. At times the audio was inconsistent. The structure threw me off in the beginning but once I got used to switching between the different people involved, it became easier. Overall, great book that kept my attention. A very well researched and presented case! What made the experience of listening to Murder in the Stacks the most enjoyable? Having been associated with Penn State University for most of my life, both as a student and as an employee, it was very interesting to learn more about the subject. I had heard the story of the woman who was murdered in the library, but never new the details that were brought forth so well in this book. Before listening to the book, I had read it about a year before and Eddie Frierson's performance brought the story to life even more. Eddie's characterizations kept the audio version very interesting and entertaining. What other book might you compare Murder in the Stacks to and why? Ann Rhule's book "The Stranger Beside Me" about the life of serial killer Ted Bundy. Ann's book is also very well researched, because it is the story of her very own experience with Ted. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Death-Trap-Audiobook/B00OVB7RLE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why or why not? Not sure. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) No spoilers then. Have you listened to any of Kevin Foleys other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, he's great! Do you think Death Trap needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Definitely not, no way! Why would it? Any additional comments? This is more like tabloid crime. It's so ridiculously long and you know all the answers way before the end. Really not worth the time. Felt the book was the real death trap What would have made Death Trap better? This book seems like it was written in rapid speed just to get another book out there for us true crime lovers. It started with the crime and then bounced back and forth about characters background to the point of confusion. Half of it contains fillers to take up time and space, repetitive and predictable. Nothing special for the victims either, just left them out there. A true disappointment from this author. Has Death Trap turned you off from other books in this genre? Absolutely not. What does Kevin Foley bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He brings some life to a very dull, repetitive and boring book. He is one of the better narrators. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Death Trap? If I could play editor I would of handed the manuscript back and suggested he start over. Yes, sadly it's that bad! Any additional comments? I want my credit back! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/All-She-Wanted-Audiobook/B00SC14JSS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Narrator sounded like automated customer service rep This book was pretty difficult to listen to as the narrator sounded like automated an customer service rep. The story itself was ok but, the book was badly written. Kind of like a talented 12 year old wrote it and no one edited it. filled w facts but all over the plave kinda hard to follow. jumps around too much. however if u want facts and to know the true story this will give u the information. didn't know how far from the truth boys don't cry was. Good book Interesting story but the narration was a bit robotic at times. It just didn't seem to flow naturally. I do enjoy true crime and this had a lot of background detail https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Busting-Out-of-Mexico-Audiobook/B078K5Q6VS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Busting Out of Mexico Author: Jan Reid Narrator: Bruce DuBose Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Random House Audio Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Jan Reid's "Busting Out of Mexico" is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. In Mexico, if violence and property damage are avoided, there is no law against breaking out of jail. When con artist Sterling Blake Davis, Sr. found himself with little to live for other than his son - held in a Mexican, federal prison on charges of marijuana possession - he thought, why not free him? What follows is a story typically reserved for the movies. The gang started by Davis, Sr. to free his son comprised a Vietnam veteran, trained in skills of war increasingly detestable to those around him; a down-on-his luck Texan in search of his next paycheck or, more accurately, his next adventure; and a naive kid hoping to live up to the tough crowd he ran with. Though each was hooked at the start by promise of money, by the end, they would feel they were performing the work of heroes.

MacLean tells the story of how he came to write his Edgar Award-winning book In Broad Daylight in his new true crime short, The Story Behind 'In Broad Daylight' MacLean had doors slammed in his face, guns pulled on him, and was bitten by a dog. Eventually, he won over the closed community of Skidmore, Mo. The inhabitants shared with him the reign of terror Ken Rex McElroy inflicted for twenty years in Northwest Missouri, and information about his murder on the main street of Skidmore in 1981. The Story Behind 'In Broad Daylight' brings the book up to date. It also answers many questions about the killing itself, such as who was involved, and what has become of them. The author discusses the nature of the moral consequences of the killing for the town and those involved in the killing. MacLean describes the breakthrough events when key characters agreed to speak with him, and he realized he would finally get the story. In Broad Daylight was a New York Times best seller for 12 weeks and was made into a movie starring Brian Denehey, Cloris Leachman and Chris Cooper.

(Diane Fanning, author of Mommy Little Girls.) Members Reviews: Gripping and Informative The Story Behind In Broad Daylight is a gripping and informative look at what it took for Harry MacLean to bring the original true story to light. I was captivated by Harry's ability to quietly become one within the community. Like most small, somewhat isolated, rural communities there's an unwritten code against outsiders. Skidmore and the area surrounding it is no different. Being "adopted" by the Goslee family and living in their home off and on while researching his topic did make things easier for MacLean. I tend to believe in kismet, so for me, it was MacLean's destiny to retell this dark story. Victims and killers alike do seem to call from beyond the grave, whispering a request for their stories to be told. It has to be fulfilling for MacLean to know not only did he write an Edgar Award winning book originally, he has now delivered a thoughtfully written behind-the-scenes look at his fortunate journey. This book is a quick read, one which gives the reader even better insight into the people who were terrorized by McElroy for far too many years. Be warned though. You'll find yourself rereading In Broad Daylight quickly after as The Story Behind leaves you wanting more. I quite fancy MacLean's writing and hope he will continue to find fascinating stories to share. If only we could have met in that time and place. Another story behind the story? Perhaps. Compelling Years later it is still hard to believe the facts of the case of Ken McElory and his reign of terror in Skidmore, MIssouri. It is also hard to believe how Harry MacLean was able to get the people involved to tell the story when law enforcement struck out. Stamina is all I can figure out. It took years of patient, persistent doggedness to get the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Ted-Bundy-Other-Killers-Audiobook/B0711FP9KS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Dr. Sam Sheppard on Trial Subtitle: The Prosecutors and the Marilyn Sheppard Murder Author: Jack P. DeSario, William D. Mason Narrator: Elliott Walsh Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Marilyn Sheppard, four months pregnant and mother of a toddler son, was bludgeoned to death in her Bay Village, Ohio, home in the early morning of July fourth, 1954. The cause of death was 27 blows to the head with a heavy instrument. Who took her life so brutally has been the subject of much controversy and debate for over half a century. Was it her husband, Dr. Sam Sheppard, who was convicted in what was then called "the Trial of the Century", in the case that helped inspire the TV series and the movie The Fugitive? Or was the killer, as Dr. Sam claimed, a "bushy-haired intruder"? Or could it have been Richard Eberling, the window washer who worked for the family, as the Sheppard's son, Sam Reese Sheppard, believes? Dr. Sam spent 10 years in prison before the US Supreme Court overturned the initial verdict in an important legal decision, determining that the doctor did not receive a fair trial due to excessive press coverage. Defended by F. Lee Bailey in his second trial in Cleveland, Sheppard was found not guilty of his wife's murder. And then in 2000, in what has been referred to as "the Retrial of the Century", Sam Reese Sheppard attempted to prove in a civil trial, while suing the State of Ohio for millions of dollars, that his father had been wrongly incarcerated. This volume presents a comprehensive and final analysis of this controversial case from the perspective of the prosecutors. Jack DeSarion, together with co-author William D. Mason, the chief attorney for Cuyahoga County, Ohio, provides all the facts, evidence, expert testimony, both old and new statements of the principals in this case, which concluded in April 2000. The jury unanimously found that Dr. Sheppard was not innocent. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack P.

I thought it was very well written and it was a different take on the trial than other books I've read on the subject. What did you like best about this story? I really enjoyed hearing the prosecutor's side of the story and how they built their case and defense. Fascinating case, but - Any additional comments? This is a fascinating case. It's unfortunate that the book was so poorly edited. There is a great deal of repetition and unnecessary detail to wade through, and it's the first time ever I wished I'd had an abridged version (which I normally avoid like the plague). The reader is careful to articulate clearly, but is pretty bland. This is, nevertheless, an interesting document of the case from the point of view of the prosecution. If this story interests you, you'll hang in there as I did just to sift through the facts, which are not organized for literary value, but do give you plenty of info with which to form your own opinion on whether the guy was guilty or not. And it is good to see someone step up and speak for the real victim of this awful crime. didn't love it I read a lot of true crime, and this book had a unique perspective in that it principally covered a civil trial many years after the crime; however, I didn't get drawn in, it was more like I waded through it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Zebra-Murders-Audiobook/B00BF19OF0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Zebra Murders Subtitle: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness, and Civil Rights Author: Prentice Early Sanders, Bennett Cohen Narrator: Dave Courvoisier Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On October 20, 1973, in San Francisco, a white couple strolling down Telegraph Hill was set upon and butchered by four young black men. Thus began a reign of terror that lasted six months and left fifteen whites dead and the entire city in a state of panic. The perpetrators wanted nothing less than a race war. With pressure on the San Francisco Police Department mounting daily, young homicide detectives Prentice Earl Sanders and his colleague Rotea Gilford - both African-American - were as- signed to the cases. The problem was: Sanders and Gilford were in the midst of a trail-blazing suit against the SFPD for racial discrimination, which in those days was rampant. The backlash was immediate. The force needed Sanderss and Gilfords knowledge of the black community to help stem the brutal murders, but the SFPD made it known that in a tight situation, no white back- up would be forthcoming. In those impossible conditions - the oppressive white power structure on one hand, the violent black radicals on the other - Sanders and Gilford knew they were sitting ducks. Against all odds, they set out to find those guilty of the Zebra Murders and bring them to justice. This is their incredible story. Editorial Reviews: Between October 1973 and April 1974, a group of radical African American men put the entire city of San Francisco in panic. Striking at random, they killed over a dozen people. In The Zebra Murders: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness, and Civil Rights, Bennett Cohen examines all the layers from this terrifying and confusing time. Performed with the necessary empathy by veteran narrator Dave Courvoisier, this audiobook examines not only the racially charged murders, but the racial tension and ugliness within the San Francisco Police Department.

Critic Reviews: Offers crucial lessons in how to deal with - and not deal with - acts of terrorism. - (San Francisco Chronicle) Members Reviews: NOT the zebra killings I made it through to the end of this book, but it was not the book I was anticipating. There was very little about the actual murders and even less about the victims or the impact the crimes had upon their lives. While there was a bit more about the lead detective, the book was basically about the political atmosphere within the San Francisco Police Dept during that era. It gave an decent overview of what was happening in general, socially and politically during that tempestuous decade, but that is not what I was looking for. The book barely held my attention and the guy who narrated spoke so fast and without pause that I actually tried to listen to it at a lower speed. That didn't work, so I suffered through. This book doesn't really belong in the true crime genre. I don't know where it should be.... interesting story Where does The Zebra Murders rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? in the top half of the Audio books that I have listened to What other book might you compare The Zebra Murders to and why?

Members Reviews: Jon Keehner Loves His Mom... This wonderful son (and author), Jon Keehner, went to the ends of the earth to piece together the story of the tragedy that took his mother's beloved husband from all of them... and for that alone, I commend him. What a tremendous gift this is, not only for his mom Karen, but for the public, who need to know these stories: the senseless murders of Rich Duncan, Newton Thomas and horrifying attack on James Kiltie. The author prefaces his story by identifying that he did not interview (scumbag/enabler) Philip and Sharon Hillman in order to write this account, so that was perched in the back of my mind. When Keehner wrote about very detailed conversations, as the first person, I kept reminding myself that these were essentially fictional recounts. Still, I know why he did it and it greatly lends to the completeness of this work. Phil Hillman is a poor excuse for a human. He murders people for zero reason. Then he uses his experiences in Vietnam (it is questionable how involved, even if involved, he was in combat) his alcoholism and his less-than-warm parents as excuses as to why he cannot control himself. He went through the system and got off with a pittance of a sentence for his first murder and assault charge, so he was barely concerned when he came across Rich Duncan. As for Sharon Hillmans part and (Hillmans sister) Jodys part they should have been held culpable as well. They stood by and watched someone who had zero control continue to drink excessively, exhibit irrational behavior and all they did was placate him. Let him have guns, gave him alcohol and they were the idiots put in place by Hillmans probation officer to keep him in check. Brilliant. Hope theyre having fun living with that reality. Keehner did a fine job. I hope he and his family are thriving and keeping Richs spirit alive. Here is a cautionary tale that simply being helpful to others can cost you your life. Very tragic. Best true crime book I've ever heard! I've read lots of true crime books and this one is one of the best I've read! This book made me so sad for the victims and so mad at the justice system! The narrator was awesome! I wish he narrated all the books! Sad Justice Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If I knew anyone who liked true crime books I would definitely recommend this book. Why? I really have always liked books written in the first person. This is rare in true crime books. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Worlds-Most-Bizarre-Murders-Audiobook/B00BNHKEGO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Finally arrested with a corpse slumped in the passenger seat of his car, it emerged that Kraft had spent over a decade cutting up and disposing of his numerous victims along the California highways. In this stomach-churning collection, all the stories have one thing in common - a unique bizarre twist.

Welcome to The World's Most bizarre Murders - the most shocking true crime book you will ever read. Members Reviews: Interesting Book, TERRIBLE Narrator/Production Is there anything you would change about this book? Oh, just the narration and production. Clearly this was either sloppily done, or rushed to completion. There are many false starts, flubs and 2nd takes that should have been edited out of the final master. You'll hear the narrator read the same line two, and sometimes three times until he gets it right. What didnt you like about Drew Campbells performance? Though his inflection is fine his mispronunciations and flubs are numerous. At first it was kind of funny to hear him say things like "Sodium Penthonol", (instead of Sodium PENTothol) and "Drink Driving", (instead of DRUNK Driving) but eventually it really annoys you and takes you out of the book. Some other gems include "Judicinal System" and Shrever Port Louisiana. Once again, this might be because the production of the audio book was rushed or sloppy. You can't blame the guy for flubbing some things or pronouncing them incorrectly if he's not familiar with them, but come on! Catch it before it gets posted to Audible! Any additional comments? If you can get past the terrible narration and production the content is actually fascinating. A little gory at times, but definitely interesting for the true crime fan. Also, since each chapter is self-contained and not too long it makes for a great back-and-forth-to-work kind of listen. Love the Narrator Where does The World's Most Bizarre Murders rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? If you're looking for a no nonsense, to the point true crime read..you will enjoy this book.. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? I see several reviews had a negative opinion of the narrator.. I loved his accent and his dialect made the book very interesting... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Fatal-Jealousy-Audiobook/B00LAEQGHQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Not far from the accident, police make a gruesome discovery.

How could anyone do something so horrendous? Michael had already been convicted of murder, sent to prison when he was only 18.

In the home of Michael's ex-girlfriend, Denise Mehri, they find four bodies that had been stabbed repeatedly with a knife: Denise, on the kitchen floor; her grandfather, in his wheelchair; her neighbor; and her father, in a room with a blood-smeared obscenity painted on the wall. How could anyone do something so horrendous? Michael had already been convicted of murder, sent to prison when he was only 18. Despite several incidents of misconduct during his time in prison, he was found suitable for parole shortly after his minimum sentence lapsed. But this time, his deadly rampage would not be so easily pardoned. Members Reviews: Great listen! Although this book was shorter than most, the amount of information given was just right. Sometimes authors go into way too much detail with the back stories of everyone involved an it looses focus and reader interest. Roger Wayne did an excellent job narrating, I will be looking for more books with him as the narrator. Statistics Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? If you are interested in hearing statistics about crime, drugs, paroles, etc., then this is a book for you. If you are interested in hearing the story, then you might want to skip this. I wish I had. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Boston-Strangler-Audiobook/B0719DD31Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Boston Strangler Subtitle: The History and Mystery of the Notorious Crime Spree Author: Zed Simpson, Charles River Editors Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: The story sounds like something out of a mini-series. The police are called to the home of an elderly woman who has been raped and strangled. She's a socialite and popular in among the Boston upper-crust. As the grizzled detective stand over her body, wondering who would do something like this, someone mentions that there was a similar case recently, except that time the victim was a lower-middle class immigrant woman. He wonders briefly if there is a pattern and hopes there isn't, but before long there's a third victim, and then a fourth. At first, the women are all elderly, and the police psychologist postulates that the culprit has some sort of hatred for his own mother and therefore attacks motherly figures. The police begin to track down mental patients with histories of violence and question them about their whereabouts, but there is no one suspect, even as more bodies pile up in the morgue. Then, suddenly, there's a change, and young women start turning up dead, changing the whole approach to the case. As tension in the city builds, the mayor and other civic leaders begin demanding action, even as another young woman dies, followed in short order by an elderly one. Young women start refusing dates and looking under their beds at night, while older ladies refuse to open their doors to anyone. The city is in turmoil and the police are at a loss about what to do next, but just as quickly as they started, the murders stopped. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Zed Simpson) Mon, 15 May 2017 02:01:39 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Boston-Strangler-Audiobook/B0719DD31Y thebookvoice.com 01:10:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: How many victims and how many Boston stranglers where there, read and possibly find out The book The Boston Strangler: The History and Mystery of the Notorious Crime Spree is interesting and now I understand why the word mystery is a part of the title. I assumed that Albert DeSalvo was the Boston strangler but he was only convicted of rape and not murder. The book primarily discusses in a concise manner the victims likely killed by the Boston strangler, and how the victims were killed. It's interesting that now over 50 years later, we still do not know whether there was one or more Boston stranglers. I highly recommend reading this book to refresh your memory or increase your knowledge the events of 50 years ago. Two Stars Very disappointed...no facts.....and 46 pages. Interesting Interesting presentation of facts. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Cops-and-Robbers-Audiobook/B077VY235B Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Law enforcement in Hidalgo County would joke that without the drug trade, half the business in the county would fail. Others would say of the region in South Texas that you'd be hard pressed to meet a local who didn't know a drug dealer. The sentiment of the local culture and economy relying on the drug trade would turn from harmless to hostile when the line between drug busters and drug dealers began to blur. In "Cops and Robbers," listeners are introduced to members of the Panama Unit, a group of young, eager sheriff's deputies and police officers tasked with drug busting along the active dealing border between Texas and Mexico. The unit was created by Guadalupe "Lupe" Treviño, a popular, charismatic sheriff looking to right the wrongs of his predecessor, who had been charged with extrotion and drug trafficking. Treviño placed his arrogant son in charge of the unit, a move that many questioned and one that would be the downfall of the sheriff's office. Katy Vine explores Southern Texas's fragile relationship with the drug trade and its border with Mexico through this larger than life story of what happened to some of Texas's finest when taking part in the drug trade became more worthwhile than stopping it. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Katy Vine) Tue, 09 Jan 2018 10:38:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Cops-and-Robbers-Audiobook/B077VY235B thebookvoice.com 01:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Is there too much detail? The book traces a fascinating period in Queensland (and Australia's history) and shows how police corruption can thrive when the lines between the separation of state and the police force become blurred or dissappear completely. It is also a sad reflection on the quality of the Queensland politicions of that period. The author's research is prodigious and in some places I was wondering if he could have been compressed the narrative without losing too much. At times I had to keep going back a few pages to remind me who he was referring to. I can appreciate that in legal terms and as a book which could be nominated for required reading in a course, this is probably necessary, but to the average eader it can become boring. Neverthess I will be looking forward to reading the next volume in this trilogy and probably an account of the Fitzgerald enquiry as well. A good read Jacks & Jokers is a an enjoyable read with several amazing revelation about the political landscape and police corruption in Queensland during the late seventies and early eighties. The first in the series (Three Crooked Kings) was for mine a better book with a tighter narrative but this second part was still very interesting all be it possibly weighed down by the incredible number of stories Matthew tried to include. Its a thorough investigation of an astonishing period in the states dark history. I'm very much looking forward to the third of the trilogy. Fantastic book by a dedicated writer Matthew Condon Fantastic book by a dedicated writer Matthew Condon. To say it depicts a sad time in Queensland's history is a gross understatement. It shows the lengths that certain people will go, how low they are willing to stoop, and who they are willing to hurt/kill in the process, if the political climate is ripe for the pickings- and it was. After reading this book I now wonder when do you ... After reading this book I now wonder when do you trust government and their departments. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Last-Dance-Last-Chance-And-Other-True-Cases-Ann-Rules-Crime-Files-Book-8-Audiobook/B00DJBW9QK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Dr. Anthony Pignataro was a cosmetic surgeon and a famed medical researcher whose flashy red Lamborghini and flamboyant lifestyle in western New York State suggested a highly successful career. But appearances, as this shocking insider account of Pignataro's tailspin from physician to prisoner proves, can be deceiving - and, for the doctor's wife, very nearly deadly.

Members Reviews: Riveting from beginningto end! Although i believed I was well informed about both the Natalie Holloway and Stephanie Flores caes, this book brought to light the true nature of the man responsible for the loss of te both of these young women. Well written and narrated, without additional drama or sensationalism, this was a non-stop "page turner" that once I began listening to, I had to finish. A must for all true crime enthusiasts! A little repetitive As I timeshare owner in Aruba, my interest was piqued by this title. I learned a few new things about the Natalee case and many new things about the Peru case. I did determine that Joran (pronounced urine) is pretty much a pathological liar and I'm pretty dumbfounded about the news organizations (and others) who kept paying him to tell them lies. I have been to many of the places described in Aruba and may have actually passed him by. That's pretty frighteneing. This was pretty much a three-star book and quite repetitious at times. I think I've gotten my fill of Joran. The narration was good. If you are a fan of true detective stories or are familiar with the settings in this book, then you will probably "enjoy" it. Great listen Would you listen to Portrait of a Monster again? Why? No, but it was good the first time. depressing story. parents were too lenient especially his father. Riveting story, sad that it is non-fiction Riveting story, sad that it is non-fiction. I don't know if the full truth will every come out. Great book, and excellent narration. Excellent descriptions Loved the narration and knowing this part of the world, I thing that the writers were very accurate and truthful in their descriptions of places. Enjoyed all the details. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Sleep-My-Darlings-Audiobook/B00CZGGI4E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: NOT A GREAT ACCOUNT OF A SENSELESS CRIME I don't know where this book comes in Diane Fanning's bibliography. I usually love her accounts because of her in depth research and fresh true crimes. But this book is so full of excruciating unnecessary minutiae that it's mind-numbing! We learn more about the military, Oahu, Ft. Leavenworth, and the mundane day-to-day (nay....second-to-second) activities of the Scheneker family than about the horrific murders of 2 innocent teens. There's no real sense of the mother's long descent into madness that ended in the cold blooded murders of her children. The deaths don't even come into play until the last 3 hours of the book. Then the reader is forced to take each and every step with the first responding police officers through the crime scene, from the front lawn to the bodies, with everything along the way described in great detail, from the number of forks on the kitchen counter to baskets of folded laundry. Meanwhile, we are waiting for them to finally find what we already knows awaits the cops - the bodies of two teenaged children, brutally shot in the face and head by their mother. After that, the author drags us through interviews of the neighbors rehashing hours of trivia about the Schenekers that we'd been told about in the preceding chapter! They actually use the children's Facebook pages frequently as a means of investigating the murders.. Plus there is a very cavalier attitude towards the gruesome tragedy. The narrator relates the story as if this is some lightweight chick-lit. Not her fault - it's the way the book is written. The reader gets no real sense of ANY of the family members, particularly the murdered children. Much of the book focuses on the father's early life, his education and career military years. There's a point where he goes back to his high school decades later to receive some minor honor. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Buried-Memories-Audiobook/B00LFW8D0G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "One of the most infamous murderers in modern Texas history." (Dallas Morning News) Members Reviews: Riveting! I have to say, this is one of the best true crime books I have ever read, and I have read quite few. It captures you from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the end. I agree with another poster on here about what a good writer Irene Pence is. I've always been a fan of Ann Rule too, but, some of her books have had portions where she goes on and on about technical, behind the scenes things until I'm turning pages and skipping forward and I'm not one to usually do that. I read every word of this book and was sorry to come to the end. Betty Beets was that sociopathic kind of person we all hope we'll never meet. Absolutely chilling. Someone else commented that it wasn't just her parasitic relationships with men that was so disturbing but her relationship with her children and I couldn't agree more. It's bad enough that she manipulated her children into helping her cover up her murders, but once she was caught, she had no problem trying to divert the blame to them (and possibly executed) in hopes of freeing herself. She really was a completely soulless person. how many families were hurt by this woman? it was a well written book,this is the first book that i have read by her. probably will be reading more. it,s another hard to the core and cold hearted woman. hard to believe betty beets can tell here own children that she is going to kill her husbands, do it and then ask for there help in burying them.the worst one is jimmy beets dug his own gravesite. then it takes quite awhile for her to finally get arrested. the worst part is it took many many years in the court system again trying to safe this woman from death. when will the court system finally realize how much money they waste on a person who is trying to get away with murder? Well, I guess it was a pretty good book It was interesting but I wished it would have gone deeper. Would have liked to know more about the characters. I'm very glad her life ended the way it did and that the writer made note of whom we should be caring about, the victims and not the murderer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/American-Mafia-Audiobook/B073P94MFQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Mafia Subtitle: A History of Its Rise to Power Author: Thomas Reppetto Narrator: Paul Costanzo Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Organized crime - the Italian American kind - has long been a source of popular entertainment and legend. Now Thomas Reppetto provides a balanced history of the Mafia's rise - from the 1880s to the post-World War II era - that is as exciting as it is authoritative. Structuring his narrative around a series of case histories featuring such infamous characters as Lucky Luciano and Al Capone, Reppetto draws on a lifetime of field experience and access to unseen documents to show us a locally grown Mafia. It wasn't until the 1920s, thanks to Prohibition, that the Mafia assumed what we now consider its defining characteristics, especially its octopus-like tendency to infiltrate industry and government. At midcentury, the Kefauver Commission declared the Mafia synonymous with Union Siciliana; in the 1960s, the FBI finally admitted the Mafia's existence under the name La Cosa Nostra. American Mafia is a fascinating look at America's most compelling criminal subculture from an author who is intimately acquainted with both sides of the street.

Critic Reviews: "Reppetto's book earns its place among the best...he brings fresh context to a familiar story worth retelling." ( The New York Times) Members Reviews: The Infamous Shady Characters Are All Here Author Thomas Reppetto has provided us with an interesting history on the rise of the mafia in America, and the reasons for its demise from its once lofty perch. The man behind its beginnings was Johnny Torrio who transferred his operations from New York to Chicago in the early 1920's. The book concentrates mainly on the New York and Chicago areas, but does include Las Vegas and other areas as well. Certain thugs were removed from the scene due to various reasons such as Jim Colosimo who didn't adjust to the times (prohibition), Dion O'Bannion due to cheating on a business deal, Al Capone and Owney Madden due to bad publicity, Dutch Schultz due to reckless behavior, and others due to various mistakes such as maintaining a high profile. J. Edgar Hoover of the F.B.I. ignored any investigation of the mafia. Instead he concentrated on two bit hoodlums such as "Pretty Boy" Floyd, "Baby Face" Nelson, and John Dillinger who robbed banks during the 1930's. The first half of the 20th century saw the rise of the mafia while the second half of the century saw its fall. The Kefauver Committee began investigating organized crime in 1950 and the advent of television in urban areas brought interviews with mobsters such as Frank Costello to the forefront of the public. Although mobsters can find new fields in which to operate, today's organized crime is a shadow of what it once was. This book brings the names of the infamous back to life from the time of the beginnings of the 1920's through the removal of the New York mobsters in the 1980's. Even if you are familiar with the names of Luciano, Rothstein, Genovese, Giancana, and others you will find this a very interesting book to read. I would highly recommend it to you.

Men like these are infamous for the terror that they inflicted on the general population. Many of these men are diagnosed as psychopaths. The reasons for them going down the paths that they chose are analysed, studied, and read about. There was a time, however, that all such crimes were always automatically linked to a man. A general perception was quite common, that there is no such thing as female serial killers and psychopaths. In fact, female killers can sometimes be more lethal, and the murders that they commit can be just as cold and calculated as those of men. When women and men turn to murder and crime, they leave a wake of disappearances and blood in their path, a path that may be discovered after years have passed. Now, be it male or female, analysts have sat them down and assessed their mental progress. Things have changed over the decades.

Members Reviews: Very informing book about the injustice in Florida Reform School This book was very interesting I first heard about Marianna Reform School on a National Public Radio program and thought the injustice was horrible. Much like the injustice of the concentration camps in WWII. it was amazing the this went on for about 40 years and reports were made but dismissed over and over again. This book is relatively short but very well written. It's worth the read and very eye opening. Riveting from beginning to end I am not often given to writing reviews, but this book was so well researched, reported and written that I feel compelled to comment and to implore anyone reading this to buy this book immediately. An emotional, heart-wrenching story and a real page turner. I am presently scouring for other books by this writer and coming up with quite a few fascinating magazine pieces as well. I love discovering new writers and this is one to watch, though apparently he is not new, just new to me. Interesting and sad..... To think that this had and may still be going on for so many years with little to no knowledge is unbelievable. This book tells a gripping and hostile story of the school for boys, in which the details are graphic and horrifying. My heart goes out to Mr.Cooper and Mrs. Kimmerle for their bravery, without the restlessness, so many questions would remain. Someone must seek the truth and look for answers for the families and victims. Sad! I find it very sad and heartbreaking that the State of Florida can cover up and disregard the lives of these poor children and many of the family's still have no closure for their family members that were murdered in this so called school. I hope and pray that all the truths come out when it's all said and done. Sad and interesting. As a former CPS investigator for the State of Texas I hear the ring of truth in this story. Children with a troubled past and/or a criminal background are targeted for abuse, neglect and exploitation because everyone thinks they are telling lies against the abuser who is often a well respected member of the community. I like the way this is written as it describes childhood memories and thought processes of the adult survivors. A good read. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Evil-at-the-Front-Door-Audiobook/B00OGA9088 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Not for Sale Subtitle: The Return of the Global Slave Trade - and How We Can Fight It Author: David Batstone Narrator: Michael McIlhonnie Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 04-14-09 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action. With the recent 200th anniversary of the climax of the 19th-century abolitionist movement, the world has paid tribute to great visionary figures such as William Wilberforce of the United Kingdom and American Frederick Douglass for their remarkable strides toward framing slavery as a moral issue that people of good conscience could not tolerate. But slavery and bondage still persist in the 21st century. An estimated 27 million people around the globe suffer in situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in people has become increasingly transnational in scope and highly lucrative. After illegal drug sales and arms trafficking, human trafficking is today the third most profitable criminal activity in the world, generating $31 billion annually. And as many as half of all those trafficked worldwide for sex and domestic slavery are children under 18 years of age. Editorial Reviews: According to David Batstone, the U.S. Department of Justice has prosecuted current-day slavery in 91 cities across the United States (figures from 2010). Slavery, Batstone argues, is no relic of yesterday; it is one of the most horrendous - and stoppable - of modern-day crimes. Performed in the authoritative but not overbearing voice of Michael McIlhonnie, Not for Sale is Batstones call to action: end human slavery everywhere. At pains to paint the issue as transcending American political divides, Batstone cites figures from the left and right and makes good use of available data on this abominable $31 billion industry. With detailed descriptions of how the current slave trade operates (including exposés of the sex and drug industries), listeners will learn how they can help. Critic Reviews: "Batstone exposes the alarming rise of one of the great moral crises of the day, human slavery. His well-written accounts of victims and survivors will inspire you to join the growing twenty-first century abolitionist movement."

(John Miller, former director of the U.S. State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons) Members Reviews: Up from Slavery Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the house, David Batstone writes a much needed book titled "Not for Sale." In this book he exposes the current status of trafficking in women and children and slavery in contemporary society. He contends that about 27 million people around the world suffer from forced labor and sexual exploitation. Even if we don't accept these high figures, his book is still troubling and worthy of every thoughtful listener to Audible books. About the first half of the book tells the stories of women and children trapped in forced labor. Those sections are a little repetitive, but the force of the situation is so important you will overlook this fact. The second half deals with similar issues as encountered in Latin America and under the Russian mofia. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Many-Secrets-Many-Graves-Audiobook/B00P6SKHMC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: evil is everywhere Interesting enough, this basic reportage is put forward with a touch of ironic humor. The purpose in this "notorious" series, I suppose, is to remind us that evil and ugly is everywhere. I lived the first 24 years of my life in Indiana and have lived in several other states, Panama and Puerto Rico since then and I know that there will be ample stories coming from any state the authors care to expose. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Through-the-Window-The-Terrifying-True-Story-of-Cross-Country-Killer-Tommy-Lynn-Sells-Audiobook/B008GWR2NC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Very Good Book About a Very Bad Dude This was one of the better True Crime books I've listened to in a while, and I thought it was Fanning's best work as well. The facts of the case are truly horrifying, and Tommy Lynn Sells' casual, almost nonchalant evil is hard to accept, but the book is all the more compelling for it. Fanning does a good job adding some backstory to each of the victims, and she recreates the monstrous details of the crimes without sensationalizing them. It's a bit difficult to keep track of all of the characters, in part because this guy took so many lives and affected so many more. You can't tell his story without telling all of theirs, and all the names do get a little lost in the crowd of ruined lives. Perhaps the author could have done a little better job adding context or recurring memory markers of some kind so listeners who aren't keeping score on a notepad can keep up with the catalog of horrors. But that's nit-picking ----- this was well-researched, -written and -narrated account that lovers of True Crime should enjoy immensely. Lock all your doors and windows How can one man cause so much pain to so many people. I was fasinated by the story and the many opportunities law enforcement had to stop him. Just remember you never truly know someone. i am slogging through it... Would you try another book from Diane Fanning and/or Thomas M. Hatting? i have had others by fanning, they were not this bad! definitely not up to ann rule standards, however. as for the narrator, i never want to be subjected to him again. he reads in this artificially soft, slow kind of voice that seems like he is reading to a kindergarten class. it just doesnt mesh with the subject matter. or anything else i can think of. possibly children's books.as for the author, i think this book is pretty fatally badly written. such statements as "and then he murdered her. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Thieves-of-Book-Row-Audiobook/B00I498WMC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Thieves of Book Row Subtitle: New York's Most Notorious Rare Book Ring and the Man Who Stopped It Author: Travis McDade Narrator: Brian Troxell Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: No one had ever tried a caper like this before. The goods were kept in a secure room under constant scrutiny, deep inside a crowded building with guards at the exits. The team picked for the job included two old hands known only as Paul and Swede, but all depended on a fresh face, a kid from Pinetown, North Carolina. In the Depression, some fellows were willing to try anything - even a heist in the rare book room of the New York Public Library. In Thieves of Book Row, Travis McDade tells the gripping tale of the worst book-theft ring in American history, and the intrepid detective who brought it down. Author of The Book Thief and a curator of rare books, McDade transforms painstaking research into a rich portrait of Manhattan's Book Row in the 1920s and '30s, where organized crime met America's cultural treasures in dark and crowded shops along gritty Fourth Avenue. Dealers such as Harry Gold, a tough native of the Lower East Side, became experts in recognizing the value of books and recruiting a pool of thieves to steal them - many of them unemployed men who drifted up the Bowery or huddled around fires in Central Park's shantytowns. When Paul and Swede brought a new recruit into his shop, Gold trained him for the biggest score yet: a first edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane and Minor Poems. Gold's recruit cased the rare-book room for weeks, searching for a weakness. When he found one, he struck, leading to a breathtaking game of wits between Gold and NYPL special investigator G. William Bergquist. Both a fast-paced and true-life thriller, Thieves of Book Row provides a fascinating look at the history of crime and literary culture. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Travis McDade) Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:50:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Thieves-of-Book-Row-Audiobook/B00I498WMC thebookvoice.com 08:47:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Small print I was really excited about reading this book. The first surprise or disappointment was the Font Size , it is almost as small as a #6 and that does make it a chore to read, after a few pages your eyes need a rest. I will review more of the book when I finish it. What a shame the print is so small, did they save that much money by doing that. Get your magnifying glass out if you purchase this book. A Good Read I had no idea that book theft was ever so wide spread and organized. A nice overview, but comes up short on many details, e.g. Other than the association with a Fourth Ave Shop who/what/how/large was the Romm Gang? Five Stars Amazing, especially when you consider it's true! Super fast shipping Outstanding! Book was in pristine condition. Super fast shipping. Many thanks.Pat First third fascinating But the next two-thirds were boring being almost a pure listing of various book thefts from different libraries. If you can buy a real cheap copy or find it at your library I would say read the first third to learn the tricks of book theft rings during the 1920s. How the ingenious thieves spirited priceless books by meticulous research and planning or just grabbing the books and running I think will be enjoyed by any book lover. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Dead-Duke-His-Secret-Wife-and-the-Missing-Corpse-Audiobook/B00W5RBBBI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Dead Duke, His Secret Wife and the Missing Corpse Author: Piu Marie Eatwell Narrator: Barnaby Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 05-07-15 Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: 1897: An elderly widow, Anna Maria Druce, made a strange request of the London Ecclesiastical Court: it was for the exhumation of the grave of her late father-in-law, T. C. Druce. Behind her application lay a sensational claim: that Druce had been none other than the eccentric and massively wealthy 5th duke of Portland, and that the now dead duke had faked the death of his alter ego. When opened, Anna Maria contended, Druce's coffin would be found to be empty. The legal case that followed would last for ten years. Its eventual outcome revealed a dark underbelly of lies lurking beneath the genteel facade of late Victorian England. Critic Reviews: "A lively account of the light shone on the lies, deceit and hypocrisy of Victorian society."

Eatwell is a good writer and the way she constructed the narrative keeps you interested. Barnaby Edwards was a great narrator, but it was a little odd at the end when it switches to first person and the male narrator is narrating for a female author. Still, this is definitely worth reading if you like history. A teasingly, strange account. I gradually warmed to this detailed account of the 5th Duke of Portland and T C Druce , how it appeared their lives were intertwined and the various fictional and factual varieties of these. Barnaby Edwards' narration is clear and distinct. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Boston-Stranglers-Audiobook/B002V0A9CG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Gail Zimmerman, producer, 48 Hours) Members Reviews: The other sides of the story What made the experience of listening to The Boston Stranglers the most enjoyable? Lorna Raver's lively reading. There is a tremendous amount of information in this book, even for someone (like me) who has already done a lot of reading on the topic. I could imagine Ms. Raver winking and smiling at me at some points. Even the sections that I didn't find terribly interesting were read with great energy, and that kept me from skipping ahead. What other book might you compare The Boston Stranglers to and why? I read this book when it first came out in 1995. That book and Gerald Frank's probably should be read before this one just to get the background. The "Stranglers" podcast is worth a listen too; Susan Kelly is interviewed in it. I haven't read too many true crime books that are as thorough as this one. Have you listened to any of Lorna Ravers other performances before? How does this one compare? I had not listened to any of her other performances. Her reading of this book was excellent and I'd be glad to listen to her read something else. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, but it is so long that I had to take breaks and relisten to some parts before continuing. (I love really long books and audiobooks, but they aren't for everyone.) Any additional comments? Someone who doesn't already have a good knowledge of the Boston Strangler(s) might not want to start with this book. This book goes into much more detail into the life and personality of each of the victims, and suggests why each woman might have been murdered, and the people of interest (other than Albert DeSalvo) that the police had looked at. Too much useless information. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? If you like true crime, this book will bore the heck out of you for the first couple hours. Too much useless info through the first half of the book. Gets a little better towards the end. What do you think your next listen will be? Another true crime or possibly American classic. Would you listen to another book narrated by Lorna Raver? I did not think her interpretation of the main character and others rang true. Was The Boston Stranglers worth the listening time? No. There were a few redeeming chapters during the last half, but for the most part was not worth it. Any additional comments? When a book is too easy to put down, I know it's not that great of a book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Wilpons-Folly-Audiobook/B00BMBKKX8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Wilpon's Folly Subtitle: The Story of a Man, His Fortune, and the New York Mets Author: Howard Megdal Narrator: Pete Larkin Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 03-06-13 Publisher: Audible Studios for Bloomsbury Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On December 11, 2008, in the middle of a busy baseball offseason, Bernard Madoff was arrested for orchestrating a massive financial fraud. Among his chief investors was Mets owner Fred Wilpon, who not only lost a major revenue stream as a result, but is now being sued for "fictitious profits" that he now owes to other Madoff victims. To the tune of almost a billion dollars. How did this happen? Where did Wilpon go wrong, and why does a fraud victim suddenly owe money? The truth about these questions has been largely hidden, but in this short book, the whole story is fully revealed. In this tight narrative, Howard Megdal tells the dramatic financial tale and proves a surprising truth: Wilpon's 30-year reign as owner of the Mets is about to end. Perhaps the most public victim of the Madoff scandal, Wilpon now faces a long road, and likely a difficult offseason. Here Megdal articulates both Wilpon's position and those against him.

Members Reviews: Succint and to-the-point, yet fully detailed as well. This brief yet detailed book lays out the full history of the current ownership of the New York Mets and its involvement with Bernie Madoff. The author does an excellent job laying out the facts of the matter and summarizing what has been discussed in so many different venues but never published in one volume before. The author's recommendation is a little out-of-the-box but is perhaps the only thing crazy enough to work. However, this is where facts turn into fiction as I see none of the involved parties willing to follow this suggestion. What is the suggestion? Read the book and find out for yourself! You'll be glad you did! If you want the real story about the state of the New York Mets, it is here Even if you read this well-reported book years after the settlement between the Wilpons, Saul Katz and Irving Picard, if you are a true Mets fan you will want to cry and never believe a word from this current team ownership group. So this is why the mets are rubbish..??? Good read for any Mets fan trying to see why the team has no money to spend on players any more. Interesting, Enlightening, but Preachy and poorly written I can see why Howard lost his New York Mets press credential after reading this book. First the good. The author does a very good job of presenting the "facts" of the situation and explaining how it all comes together. Particularly enlightening for me was the detailing of the financial struggles the Wilpons face apart from the Madoff Scandal. It also made me question the integrity of MLB commissioner Selig. Next, the less good. The writing style made it difficult in places to separate the cold hard facts from the author's assumptions. The author has a tendency to lay out circumstantial (albeit very convincing)evidence and then present his interpretation of it as fact. He probably gets around the libel laws with his gratuitous disclaimer of the ilk of "ultimately a jury will decide" and the fact that the Wilpons are public figures. The high point, for me, of the book were the questions it raised about the US judicial system and its judges. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Fatal-Dosage-Audiobook/B01N4UWM60 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Now she had everything she wanted - until the nightmare began at Morton General Hospital. Licensed practical nurse Anne Capute administered a fatal dose of morphine to a dying patient, Norma Leanues. Anne claimed she was following common practice at Morton General, with a verbal approval by Dr. Hillier, to administer unrestricted doses of morphine as a humane antidote to the unbearable suffering of terminal cases. One day after the death of Mrs. Leanues, Dr. Hillier was off on a European vacation, and Anne Capute was suspended. Three days later she was advised to retain a lawyer - she would be standing trial for first degree murder. One after another, doctors and nurses with whom Anne had worked so closely testified against her. And the most damaging prosecution witness of all was Dr. Hillier. Suddenly Anne's life's dream was destroyed. And as her personal life, too, began to shatter, there remained little hope of acquittal - or justice. Anne Capute: a woman on trial for her life. One dedicated nurse battling against the vast influence of the medical establishment. Hers is a true story of courage, drama, and penetrating suspense that no listener will soon forget. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Gary Provost) Mon, 06 Feb 2017 02:14:10 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Fatal-Dosage-Audiobook/B01N4UWM60 thebookvoice.com 08:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: True Crime Provost does a good job with this book. It is the story of a nurse who was tried for giving a cancer patient a fatal dose of morphine. The issue of "mercy killing" is a sensitive one and one that practically everyone will face. It is interesting how this case played out. Starts Slow but Stay with it... I honestly didn't have high expectations. The very beginning didn't change that view very much but once the 2nd attorney appeared and the trial, it was mesmerizing! Great story enjoyed we every word of it. The story of true grit. Good Read good read Good Read Good story of true grit on behalf of a dedicated nurse and her attorney. Great story from a great writer! Provost did not disappoint. Heâs an exceptional true crime writer who told Anneâs story well. What a hell she went through. Interesting Read The first half of the book was a fast read. The second, to me, was long and drawn out. Overall, a good book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Serial-Killers-2-in-1-Box-Set-Audiobook/B01N30AWJD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Serial Killers: 2 in 1 Box Set Subtitle: Exploring the Horrific Crimes of Little Known Murderers Author: Jack Smith Narrator: Charles D. Baker Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs Language: English Release date: 01-04-17 Publisher: Jack Smith Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Serial killer as a term can be difficult to define. Different criminal investigation units typically require two, three, or more attributable killings over a period of time before an individual can be considered to have joined the ranks of the serial killers. However, it is not really the numbers which can interest so many people and scare others. Instead, it is the often random nature of the killings. Rather than crimes of passion, crimes of financial reward, or instances when an individual has reached the end of their emotional tether, the crimes of serial killers have often been planned days, weeks, or months in advance. Targets can be random, but the killings are often planned in great detail. From cannibalism to mental health concerns, from ritualistic witchcraft to a simple interest in violence, learning what motivates these people can offer both insight and further confusion. Serial killers are big business. From the countless books, films, and television programs to the 24-hour news networks, there is something about these mass murderers that catches the eye and catches the attention. While many people are familiar with the better-known killers like John Wayne Gacy or Jack the Ripper, this is not the end of the story. There are so many examples of serial killers from around the world that many of them have simply been forgotten about. But that does not make their crimes any less serious. Instead, some of these serial killers committed heinous acts above and beyond those we have come to expect when thinking about the worst psychopaths in living memory. In cases such as these, the truth is often stranger than fiction. For every Hannibal Lecter or Norman Bates, the murders committed by the people detailed in this book are often more extreme, violent, and off-putting than anything you might find in fiction. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack Smith) Wed, 04 Jan 2017 09:51:30 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Serial-Killers-2-in-1-Box-Set-Audiobook/B01N30AWJD thebookvoice.com 00:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Two for the price of one Great set of books. Both parts, one and two, provide the names of serial killers you may not have heard about from the past.

Title: Cold Cases: True Crime Subtitle: Will They Ever Be Solved? The Bewildering Stories of Unfinished Cases Author: Joseph Exton Narrator: Steve Stansell Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-17 Publisher: Joseph Exton Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Murders, rapes, and other crimes happen every single day. These are not cases that stand out in some unique sort of way, simply cases that have gone down in the books as horrifying. Discarded bodies, missing women, stolen identification.

Members Reviews: Cold Case Files: Very Interesting Read! I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I am always interested in true crime stories and this book did not disappoint, there were a few errors but not enough to detract from the stories. I really enjoyed this book and it was a quick read for me. Thank you for giving me a chance to pick it up, I would not have known about it otherwise except for the Library Bugs newsletter. Brief coverage of interesting cases Cold cases? Never solved? Some of them are still unsolved, but others have been solved, the killers tried and punished. The book is not well-written, having errors on almost every page. However, these are interesting cases for true crime fans. Cold Cases In this book the author presents stories of cold cases that were eventually solved by authorities. This is perfect for fans of mysteries and true crime stories. Good stories but... I liked the stories, but the grammatical errors throughout the book is what dropped my rating considerably. I hate when there are glaring errors. Two Stars Writing was a tad confusing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Evil-Within-Audiobook/B01D3R3P62 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not as the blurb says What disappointed you about The Evil Within? The blurb makes it sound like this book is a discussion on the serial killers presented by detectives. I feel like this isn't true, per say. It makes it sound like there's be a common thread or a certain detective will speak personally about the cases. However, this is simply a short blurb of various serial killers from around the world. The only structure in it is the division of countries. Nothing new is presented. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment that this was yet another list. Any additional comments? If you're looking for pathology or psychology or anything outside the realm of Joe SerialKiller killed X victims and a brief run through then you'll be disappointed. Buyer beware. HOWEV' VER Would you try another book from Trevor Marriott and/or Yaz Shah? NO!!!! Has The Evil Within turned you off from other books in this genre? No. Just this author and this narrator How could the performance have been better? Well, of course we have to make allowances for the fact the the narrator is British, but seriously the accent was really getting on my nerves. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Complete irritation with the word "However". I am not joking, when the book had 5:10 min left I wrote down the time stamps every time she said "However" for the next 30 minutes. 10X in 30 minutes. A word can be over used. In fact it irritated me to the point that when I got to the next book every time I heard the word however I was annoyed again. Any additional comments? The material was good or I would have never made it to the end of the book. well done book narrator of the story did her job well . the book was informative and was interesting from start to ending . fits well for people who prefer true stories over fictional ones horrible very dry very boring just can't get into it the narrator is horrible one star thumbs down Interesting and very disturbing It is a compilation of basic facts of some very horrible crimes. It is explicit and gory, be warned. However, if you want to know what the monsters are like and what they think and do, here it is. Also, the fact that monsters from all over the world and from all different back grounds, and appearances are shown to us is enlightening. Mr. Hyde is not always visibly ugly or 'scary'looking. And a moral question for the rest of us: Can anyone who does these things really be sane? Is Cane ours to kill in turn? I was also shocked to learn that some countries in the 'civilized' world are still hanging and shooting criminals-naive of me I know, but still.....I must also mention the reader, who must have a stomach of iron. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Who-Killed-Diana-Audiobook/B002ZKSK1O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In The Bison King, a young woman searching for her biological parents triggers the beginning of a nightmare for three men who will be maliciously prosecuted for the murder of an acquaintance some 26 years earlier. These men are indicted on manufactured evidence, based mostly upon a coerced false confession and the manipulation of the grand jury by an aggressive deputy sheriff and an inexperienced prosecuting attorney.

Members Reviews: Unlikely Prosecution! Very interesting story about a man who was prosecuted for a crime that happened 26 years earlier and he was accused by a person who was not at the scene of the crime. Lots of trial data. Excellent factual presentation While the majority of law enforcement are dedicated to finding the facts, a few are so enamored with winning that they do not let the facts get in the way of an arrest. Ditto with prosecutors where winning is the only consideration. This book presents one such travesty of justice. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Serial-Killer-Groupies-Audiobook/B00SYW05CO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Experts have compiled several reasons why, including: Members Reviews: More than expected for a true crime short. I was a bit worried when the audiobook started out by rehashing such famous cases as Ted Bundy an Richard Ramirez. But as it continued the cases became less "old hat" and there were even some recent cases such as Luka Magnotta, which ignighted my interest. The actual subjects of the book, the "Serial Killer Groupies", were interesting, but a bit short. It might have been nicer to flesh them out if possible, to understand their motivations/lives that led them into contact with serial killer penpals. Although as most had not committed a crime, I could see how their privacy may need to be protected. All in all a decent if quick listen with some new stuff, despite a bit of a boring start. Poor writing, poor reading. It's hard to know what to list first. The writer doesn't even seem to know correct grammar. I'm not fanatically picky, but this was so bad that I couldn't ignore it, and it was very distracting. Many sentences didn't even make sense in the way they were written. The words "subsequently" and "ultimately" were used a ridiculous number of times. I guess "after that", "later he was" or even "he then" were not big enough words to use once in a while. To top it off, the narrator didn't know his material enough to read without pausing mid sentence, as if the statement were complete, only to say the last word or two separately after the pause. He did this throughout the entire reading. The fact that he was reading very immature writing, only made him sound worse. The total effect made it a painful listen that I intend to return. Something I haven't done with any of my other, thousand plus, audible books. great read this is a great read for an airplane or long car trip..a great add to your true crime collection..although no new information to be found.. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Australias-Toughest-Prisons-Inmates-Audiobook/B01N0EDG28 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What did you like most about Australia's Toughest Prisons: Inmates? The narration was great and the selection of Inmates documented and how they were documented was great too! What was one of the most memorable moments of Australia's Toughest Prisons: Inmates? Definitely the update of Martin Bryant's life these days! LOL Which scene did you most enjoy? There are so many great scenes in this book! The milk carton walk of shame is a good one but so are many others! Actually, not many, ALL! Any additional comments? absolutely loved this book and am downloading James Phelps' other book for listening tomorrow :D Interesting...poor narrative James Phelps book is gives a great insight into Australian prison life. However the mono tone narration given by Stan Pretty is painful. Cockney accents given to white Australian prisoners while Aboriginal and Middle eastern share the same accents....what is going on here Awesome book Loved every minute of this book on edge of your seat well read and lots of twists and turns Incredibly insightful listen! The book itself is incredibly informative. The reading? Not great. The narrator seemed to feel the need to put a british, cockney accent on when voicing in-mates/ex in-mates, as well as slowing his speech down in what I can only assume was an attempt to sound stupid, and thus, more 'criminal'. Raw accounts and hardship in corrections Australia Would you consider the audio edition of Australia's Toughest Prisons: Inmates to be better than the print version? Yes I do, it's more immersive and makes you feel you are there. The narration and switching characters feels so real and couldn't be done as well on my own What other book might you compare Australia's Toughest Prisons: Inmates to, and why? Choppers books were from His perspective where as these are from many points of view What about Stan Prettys performance did you like? He made the book much more entertaining by portraying each character from either side of the bars amazingly well The politicians statement were accurate and hilarious If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Prisoners at war with society and each other's Any additional comments?

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Snatched is the electric tale by the New York Times best-selling author of Blow, Bruce Porter, that tells the true story of a woman caught between two worlds, with her life dangling in the balance. Raised an aristocrat in Colombia and educated in European schools, Pilar transfixes everyone with her charm and her guile. She also falls for dangerous men and finds herself drawn into the highest levels of the cocaine trade. After two failed marriages and a harrowing escape from the drug life, she settles down to a quiet existence in Florida with her children - until her second husband tries to cut short his prison term by giving her name over to members of a new task force being formed by the DEA. They induce Pilar, now a middle-aged woman, to infiltrate the Cali cartel as the head of a vast money-laundering sting. Named Operation Princess, the scheme leads to the seizure of tens of millions of dollars along with some $500 million worth of cocaine and the exposure of hundreds of high-level traffickers, becoming one of the most daring and successful stings in DEA history.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Snatched is the electric tale by the New York Times best-selling author of Blow, Bruce Porter, that tells the true story of a woman caught between two worlds, with her life dangling in the balance. Raised an aristocrat in Colombia and educated in European schools, Pilar transfixes everyone with her charm and her guile. She also falls for dangerous men and finds herself drawn into the highest levels of the cocaine trade. After two failed marriages and a harrowing escape from the drug life, she settles down to a quiet existence in Florida with her children - until her second husband tries to cut short his prison term by giving her name over to members of a new task force being formed by the DEA. They induce Pilar, now a middle-aged woman, to infiltrate the Cali cartel as the head of a vast money-laundering sting. Named Operation Princess, the scheme leads to the seizure of tens of millions of dollars along with some $500 million worth of cocaine and the exposure of hundreds of high-level traffickers, becoming one of the most daring and successful stings in DEA history. But Pilar plays her part too well. Her success as a money launderer gets her kidnapped and then ransomed by a band of guerrillas in South America - and the United States government refuses to negotiate.

What disappointed you about Snatched? It was completely disjointed. You could not follow the characters, nor was there character development. The "heroine" was pathetic and, despite the attempt, held no true depth. It went into minutia that was boring and could have been skipped and the bigger story, taht could have been interesting (I think) was somewhere in between. I never do this, but I quite after giving the book ten hours because it was that bad. Started out interesting ... But became really really boring towards the end. In the beginning I could overlook the terrible narration bc it was an interesting book, but when it got repetitive mundane I had to stop listening. Maybe better in print? https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Erased-Audiobook/B0032CLTC6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Erased Subtitle: Missing Women, Murdered Wives Author: Marilee Strong Narrator: Deb Thomas Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 183 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Based on five years of investigative reporting and research into forensic psychology and criminology, Erased presents an original profile of a widespread and previously unrecognized type of murder: not a hot-blooded, spur-of-the-moment crime of passion, as domestic homicide is commonly viewed, but a cold-blooded, carefully planned, and methodically executed form of erasure. These crimes are often committed by men with no criminal record or history of violence whatsoever, men leading functional and often successful lives until the moment they kill the women, and sometimes children, they claimed to love. A surprising number go on to kill a second or even third wife or girlfriend, often in exactly the same way. In more than 50 chilling case studies, Marilee Strong examines the strange and complex psychology that drives these killers, from the murder a century ago that inspired the novel An American Tragedy to Scott Peterson, Mark Hacking, Jeffrey MacDonald, Ira Einhorn, Charles Stuart, Robert Durst, Michael White, Barton Corbin, and many others. Erased also looks at how these men manipulate the legal system and exploit loopholes in missing persons procedures and death investigation, exposing how easy it can be to get away with murder.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A Fascinating Barrage of Painful Truth This was one of the most riveting, informative and -- I'm almost afraid to say this, because a book on this subject should be somber and difficult -- ENTERTAINING audiobooks I've read this year. Of course, she treats the subject with all the seriousness it deserves, but she also invests it with a life that true crime writing often misses in it's cold recitation of fact after fact, detail after detail. But it's almost impossible to turn away from the parade of sad, complex and truly unbelievable stories the author relates about these "Eraser Killers." But even though almost every case she describes has the same basic plot elements and character types (sociopath kills trusting lover and elaborately disposes of body), the author reveals a compelling throughline in the stories and manages to find the genuine heart and soul of each person involved. Case in point: I'm guessing you, like me, thought you had heard everything you wanted to know about Scott and Lacey Peterson. But Marilee Strong does an amazing job relating the small, human details we've never heard about, and suddenly you're reading about real flesh and blood people who you find yourself actually invested in. Not necessarily LIKING, but invested in. The narrator plays a big part in the success of this audiobook; she is one of those rare narrators that is so good for the material, so evocative in their reading that they almost completely disappear. And that may be the highest compliment I can pay a narrator. I really enjoyed this book, and if you have even a minor interest in true crime, human tragedy, or great non-fiction writing, I suspect you will enjoy it too. Interesting true crime book This was a very interesting book. It does mostly talk about the death of Lacy Peterson but does describe some other cases that are similar. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Executed-Unjustly-Audiobook/B013HB6QCO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Probably, it was a good listen and i like to read the books over in 6 months to a year Would you recommend Executed Unjustly to your friends? Why or why not? yes, I'm so happy that with our new technology and understanding situations like this will not happen, Ihope. Which scene was your favorite? no favorites I guess just the fact that so many innocent people died. Any additional comments?

Title: 90 Church Subtitle: Inside America's Notorious First Narcotics Squad Author: Agent Dean Unkefer Narrator: Keith Szarabajka Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Mad Men meets The Wire in this gripping true-crime memoir by a former agent at the Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1960s New York. Before Nixon famously declared a "war on drugs", there was the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. New York City, mid-1960s. The war in Vietnam was on the nation's tongue - but so was something else. Clandestine and chaotic but equally ruthless, the agents of the bureau were feared by the Mafia, dealers, pimps, prostitutes - anyone who did his or her business on the streets. With few rules and almost no oversight, the battle-hardened agents of the bureau were often more vicious than the criminals they chased. Agent Dean Unkefer was a naïve kid with notions of justice and fair play when he joined up. But all that quickly changed once he got thrown into the lion's den of 90 Church, the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, where he was shocked to see the agents he revered were often more like thugs than lawmen. When he finally got the chance to prove his mettle by going undercover in the field, the lines became increasingly blurred. As he spiraled into the hell of addiction and watched his life become a complex balancing act of lies and half truths, he began to wonder what side he was really on. 90 Church is both the unbelievable memoir of one man's confrontation with the dark corners of the human experience and a fascinating window into a little-known time in American history.

Although, there was likely some sprinklings of truth in the book, it was overshadowed by farcical characters, events, and dialog. It's unfortunate, because there was probably a good story to tell about the FBN in NYC. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dead-of-Night-Audiobook/B00TQEOR1O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The narration sounded like an automated phone service. True crime stories are great! Annoying Tone of Voice I couldn't stand the narrators tone of voice and accentuation of the second to last syllable of every sentence. Further adding to the annoyance, the original recorded audio was over edited by reducing the pauses between sentences Kim Houson is Perfect for Children's Books This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Okay, so I haven't actually managed to listen to this book yet. I've been trying, but I keep finding myself drifting off. Why? Because Houston reads this book in the same tone of voice I use when I am reading to toddlers. It's sweet and sing-song. A perfect voice for reading to children, but hardly appropriate for True Crime. It's terribly distracting and I'm not enjoying this book at all. Would you ever listen to anything by Don Lasseter again? Yes, as long as Ms. Houston is not the narrator. What didnt you like about Kim Houstons performance? Please read the above. Seriously, try the preview of this book before buying it. What character would you cut from Dead of Night? Not exactly a story you cut character's from. This book is a narrative of the acts of a serial killer, you can't just remove people from it. Any additional comments? I will re-do this review if I can get through the story and comment on it. Great story, awesome narration Any additional comments? Top notch audiobook tells a compelling story that speeds along without getting bogged down in background. Clear and crisp pronunciation by the narrator, not overly dramatized, overall just a pleasure to listen to. I hope that Kim Houston collaborates on the production of many more audio titles! Awful...Poor Performance. Lousy editing. I couldn't make it through the nook. Too distracted by the ectremely poor performance.

Title: Fortune's Spear Subtitle: A Forgotten Story of Genius, Fraud, and Finance in the Roaring Twenties Author: Martin Vander Weyer Narrator: James Conlan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 1.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: A richly detailed Edwardian true crime story of an extraordinary fraud, full of parallels to contemporary financial upheavals, from Bernie Madoff to the 2008 global financial crash. Gerard Lee Bevan was the black sheep of one of London's most respectable banking families. A high-living womanizer and upper-class shyster of almost pantomime proportions, he exploited a glittering range of social connections. After a long run of success in City dealings he perpetrated a massive fraud which ruined both the City Equitable Fire Insurance Company and his stockbroking firm, Ellis & Co. He fled the country and was eventually arrested, tried, and jailed. Based on new research, Martin Vander Weyer tells the story of a fraud of extraordinary proportions, perpetrated by an aristocratic Englishman from a seemingly impeccable background. Exploring exactly how Bevan managed it, he reconstructs in rich Edwardian detail the environment and characters of the day, as well as Bevan's desperate attempt at disguise and flight across Europe. With resonances in today's financial world, from the 2008 crash to the likes of fraudsters such as Bernard Madoff, this compelling true crime tale offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone financial world. Critic Reviews: "Martin Vander Weyer, a British financial journalist, uses the story of Gerard Bevan - a stockbroker, insurance executive and convicted fraudster- to open a window on the pretensions and perfidies of the British upper crust early in the long twilight of its power. The story in 'Fortune's Spear' is not exactly a century-old version of "The Wolf of Wall Street" but will have a familiar ring to followers of today's financial chicaneries."

Title: Fortune's Spear Subtitle: A Forgotten Story of Genius, Fraud, and Finance in the Roaring Twenties Author: Martin Vander Weyer Narrator: James Conlan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 1.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: A richly detailed Edwardian true crime story of an extraordinary fraud, full of parallels to contemporary financial upheavals, from Bernie Madoff to the 2008 global financial crash. Gerard Lee Bevan was the black sheep of one of London's most respectable banking families. A high-living womanizer and upper-class shyster of almost pantomime proportions, he exploited a glittering range of social connections. After a long run of success in City dealings he perpetrated a massive fraud which ruined both the City Equitable Fire Insurance Company and his stockbroking firm, Ellis & Co. He fled the country and was eventually arrested, tried, and jailed. Based on new research, Martin Vander Weyer tells the story of a fraud of extraordinary proportions, perpetrated by an aristocratic Englishman from a seemingly impeccable background. Exploring exactly how Bevan managed it, he reconstructs in rich Edwardian detail the environment and characters of the day, as well as Bevan's desperate attempt at disguise and flight across Europe. With resonances in today's financial world, from the 2008 crash to the likes of fraudsters such as Bernard Madoff, this compelling true crime tale offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone financial world. Critic Reviews: "Martin Vander Weyer, a British financial journalist, uses the story of Gerard Bevan - a stockbroker, insurance executive and convicted fraudster- to open a window on the pretensions and perfidies of the British upper crust early in the long twilight of its power. The story in 'Fortune's Spear' is not exactly a century-old version of "The Wolf of Wall Street" but will have a familiar ring to followers of today's financial chicaneries." (The Wall Street Journal) Members Reviews: REALLY AWFUL What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? If the subject matter was even remotely interesting. Gerard Bevan was a boring one-dimensional person. No wonder it is "a forgotten story..."! What was most disappointing about Martin Vander Weyers story? It's way too long and contains too much boring minutiae. Would you listen to another book narrated by James Conlan? If the book itself was worth listening to. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not really. Any additional comments? I spent several hours trying to figure out why this book was even written. Finally I had to put myself out of my misery and just stop listening to it. To go on was like plunging a rusty fork in my eye! I see now why no one had rated or reviewed it on either Audible or Amazon. The only redeeming thing is if you suffer from insomnia. It WILL definitely put you to sleep! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Rock-Scissors-Paper-Audiobook/B07175YPPR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not my cup of tea I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free audio copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. I didn't quite know what to expect with this book. It's an odd mixture of poetry and nonfiction written about an actual serial killer in Canada. It's from the view of the killer and the language and disrespect were just too much for me. Even though I didn't care for this book at all, it's creative and different and I'm sure the author put a lot of work into it. I also think I might like other works by him if they weren't dealing with such a disgusting man. I felt the same way about the narrator. He had a loud voice and I felt like he was almost yelling, but it went well with the book. I think he did a good job of portraying the killer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Cold-Blooded-Business-Audiobook/B00G2C0TRY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Cold-Blooded Business Subtitle: Adultery, Murder, and a Killer's Path from the Bible Belt to the Boardroom Author: Marek Fuchs Narrator: Kevin T. Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1959, Olathe, Kansas was made famous by the murder of the Clutter family and Truman Capote's ground-breaking book on the crime, In Cold Blood. But fewer know that Olathe achieved notoriety again in 1982, when a member of Olathe's growing Evangelical Christian population, a gentle man named David Harmon, was bludgeoned to death while sleeping - the force of the blows crushing his face beyond recognition. Suspicion quickly fell on David's wife, Melinda, and his best friend, Mark, student body president of the local bible college. However, the long arms of the church defended the two and no charges were pressed. The case was declared as dead as David Harmon. Two decades later, two Olathe police officers revived the cold case making startling revelations that reopened old wounds and chasms within the Olathe community - revelations that rocked not only Olathe, but also the two well-healed towns in which Melinda and Mark resided. David's former wife and friend were now living separate, successful, law-abiding lives. Melinda lived in suburban Ohio, a devoted wife and mother of two. Mark had become a Harvard MBA, a high-paid corporate mover, a family man, and a respected community member in a wealthy suburb of New York City. Some twenty years after the brutal murder, each received the dreaded knock of justice at the door. A Cold-Blooded Business provides fascinating character studies of Melinda and Mark, killers who seemingly returned to normalcy after one blood-splattered night of violence. A fast-moving true crime narrative, A Cold-Blooded Business is a chilling exploration into the darkest depths of the human psyche. Editorial Reviews: Made famous by the Clutter family murder, Olathe, Kansas, once more appeared in the news in 1982 when evangelical Christian David Harmon was bludgeoned to death in his sleep. The suspects, David's wife Melinda and his best friend Mark, were also members of the same religion, and their church protected them from any charges. However, 20 years later, two Olathe police officers reopened the case and discovered clues that pointed to the two former suspects, who were by then living successful lives. Narrator Kevin T. Collins' forceful performance sets the tone of New York Times journalist Marek Fuchs' enthralling account of the amazing police work that ensured that justice for David Harmon would prevail. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Marek Fuchs) Mon, 04 Nov 2013 20:02:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Cold-Blooded-Business-Audiobook/B00G2C0TRY thebookvoice.com 06:37:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: True Crime Jewel Would you consider the audio edition of A Cold-Blooded Business to be better than the print version? A true crime junky I am not. I rarely read true crime. This, however, is a jewel both because of the type of people involved and because it was a cold case. The execution of the crime and apprehension of the culprits were separated by 23 years. It was very well written.I consider all audio editions to be better than the print versions. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The type of people involved and the influence of the Nazarene Church in regard to both execution and apprehension. What three words best describe Kevin T. Collinss performance? Not so good. Perhaps this was his first one. His delivery was such that I began to get the feeling that he had recorded each word separately and then a machine had chosen the words and produced the sentences. Kind of weird. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Kill-Him-Some-More-Audiobook/B01KW8BFQM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The mecca for wealthy retirees to enjoy their younger girlfriends, yachts, and marble-floored mansions, where recreational drugs, sex, and booze flow like the warm water that hugs the coast. Where teenage girls and their boyfriends kill their parents in the name of love, and women shoot their boyfriends then claim self-defense.

In the first story, a former flight attendant murders her multimillionaire boyfriend of 18 years, using a gun, a knife, a hammer (and possibly poisoned his gin as well), claiming he was abusive for years and put a loaded gun to her head. In the second story, a woman with a history of violent, drug-addicted boyfriends kills her latest lover after only a few weeks together, alleging that he forced a gun into her mouth in a drug-induced rage. In the third story, a 15-year-old girl falls in love and wants to have a baby with a boyfriend who is four years older. Her mother, who wants to end the relationship, ends up dead after being stabbed, choked, and injected with a syringe loaded with bleach.

The writing is done very well, with analysis of each crime, which helps show what the killers were thinking. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. Bad All The Way Around Not at all what I expected in a true crime book. When the book first arrived and I opened to skim, I couldn't believe how small of a book it was and how big the type was...almost like a child's book. Boring, basically just scattered facts, badly written, spelling and punctuation errors throughout...as though it was typed at someone's house, copied and sold. I have been reading true crime for 35 years and I couldn't make it through the first story. Tried the second, to give it another chance, same thing. Would not recommend. Not For Me! Not very well developed. Actually was bored Fascinating I've always loved reading about true crimes. It's been a fascination of mine for many years. Enjoyed it immensely. True Crime This book was offered free for Kindle, which is how I came to read it. I enjoyed reading it and thank the author for his/her generosity. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Body-Count-Audiobook/B018IRLCBC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

By night he prowled the streets where prostitutes gathered, gaining their trust before betraying them with a bullet to the head. On August 26, 1997, the decomposed bodies of two young women were discovered in Spokane, Washington. Within months, four more women were added to the mounting death toll. In 2000, Yates pleaded guilty to 13 murders to avoid the death penalty. But in 2001, he was convicted of two more murders and is now on death row in Washington State, waiting for the day when he will die by lethal injection.

Members Reviews: Got lost in the story several times I got easily lost several times and lost interest. Maybe its because I'm not a fan of the narrator. Not so interesting.... Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I would say that it was worth the listen but this book didn't work for me. I felt like the story had been told in segments and I had to replay many of the chapters as I began to get confused and frankly bored. What other book might you compare Body Count to and why? This wasn't a favorite of mine but it was the bottom of the barrel. Would you listen to another book narrated by Paul McClain? No, probably not. His cadence and voice in general didn't meet with satisfaction. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No Burl Barer + Paul McClain = A+ I always enjoy Burl Barer's books, and Paul McClain did a great job with this one. Rambling of words don't waste your money, the story rambles about unessessarry details. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Her-Deadly-Web-Audiobook/B007R50KH4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Editor was sleeping on the job Fanning is one of my fave true crime authors, and as always, she portrays this fabulously & objectively...but the editing was AWFUL. I was very disappointed in that aspect. It really interupts the flow of reading when you come across missing words or jumbled sentences such as: "They met with meet with.." "...when didn't show up.." (When WHO didn't show?) "and and..." (spell/grammar check would have caught this) I found more than 50 of that type of error, & a misplaced comma or two. The telling of the case(s), making the characters 2 dimentional, & every other aspect was great - but 5 stars means "perfect" and I cannot give it that. Glad I read this one Diane Fanning is one of my favorite true crime authors. I saw this crime featured on the Investigation Discovery channel recently and wanted to read the book. The author could have skipped all that background information on the town's history and most of the information about the killer's family tree was somewhat boring. True Crime A woman who was suspected of killing both her husbands, this story is an interesting one because of the two trials she went through. She was convicted after two trials of killing her second husband though I believe there was better evidence for the first one. Jumped Around The book jumped around a lot making it hard to read and understand the facts regarding this woman and her mental problem. She was a piece of work and it was all about her needs and not her family. Disappointing While this is my first Fanning book I have read, I was really disappointed in its overall content. There really did not seem to be any flow whatsoever of the story; it felt as though it jumped around A LOT and in doing so, it confused me as a reader. Had the flow been better, the rating would have as well. Also, it seemed as though the info surrounding the case was half heartedly gathered and rehashed by the author rather than actually conducting research on the case. Editing needs some work; lots of grammatical and spelling errors. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/True-Crime-Stories-A-Prequel-Audiobook/B071RKR7J9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: True Crime Stories: A Prequel Subtitle: 4 Shocking True Crime Cases Author: Jack Rosewood Narrator: Kevin Kollins Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 04-26-17 Publisher: Wiq Media Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: There are killers who stalk their prey, learning all they can about an intended target before striking. Some commit the act of murder out of hatred or revenge for someone in their lives. Killers like Detlev Guenzel searched for like-minded souls who would allow them to indulge in their deepest darkest fantasies. Then of course, there are those who brutally murder for no apparent reason whatsoever. Each of the four true crime murder cases in this true crime anthology are different from each other in many ways: the wife who was cast aside for a much younger model; the vore who sought out a willing participant in the act of consensual homicide and cannibalism; the young man who butchered his elderly neighbours; and the man whose partners either disappeared or turned up dead over the period of 54 years. For these true crime murder stories we delve into the background of each killer, the acts they committed, and the criminal investigation that brought them down. We look at why they killed, even when there seems to be no apparent motive. True murder cases like these are hard to fathom, and will leave you wondering about the horrors of humanity. True crime stories are the most frightening of all, as you discover what people have the capability of doing to others.

Members Reviews: Just not liking Greg's short stories vs full length books I do very much like Greg's full length books, but this series of short stories didn't hold me. Not nearly enough to get into the story and remember it. Now that I know, I'll stick with his more detailed work. Good Book Would you consider the audio edition of Bodies Of Evidence to be better than the print version? I only do Audible What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? I love true stories, the narrator was very good, I like the way he put a positive spin on everything. Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierces other performances before? How does this one compare? No I haven't but I will now Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No its not that kind of book, it's very interesting to hear more about the lives of each of these people.

Title: The Briley Brothers: The True Story of the Slaying Brothers Subtitle: True Crime by Evil Killers, Book 8 Author: Jack Rosewood, Dwayne Walker Narrator: Herschel J. Grangent Jr. Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-16 Publisher: Wiq Media Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Richmond, Virginia. On the morning of October 19, 1979, parolee James Briley stood before a judge and vowed to quit the criminal life. That same day James met with his brothers, Linwood and Anthony, and 16-year-old neighbor Duncan Meekins. What they planned - and carried out - would make them American serial killer legends and reveal to police investigators a seven-month rampage of rape, robbery, and murder exceeding in brutality already documented cases of psychopaths, sociopaths, and sex criminals. As reported in this book, the Briley gang were responsible for the killing of 11 people (among them a five-year-old boy and his pregnant mother) but possibly as many as 20. Unlike most criminals, however, the Briley gang's break-ins and robberies were purely incidental - mere excuses for rape and vicious thrill kills. When authorities (aided by plea-bargaining Duncan Meekins) discovered the whole truth, even their tough skins crawled. Nothing in Virginian history approached the depravities, many of which were committed within miles of the Briley home, where single father James Sr. padlocked himself into his bedroom every night. But this true crime story did not end with the arrests and murder convictions of the Briley gang. Linwood, younger brother James, and six other Mecklenburg death-row inmates hatched an incredible plan of trickery and manipulation - and escaped from the "state-of-the-art" facility on May 31, 1984 - the biggest death-row break-out in American history. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jack Rosewood) Tue, 10 May 2016 14:14:07 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Briley-Brothers-The-True-Story-of-the-Slaying-Brothers-Audiobook/B01FEERVFI thebookvoice.com 02:16:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On the morning of October 19, 1979, parolee James Briley stood before a judge and vowed to quit the criminal life. That same day James met with his brothers, Linwood and Anthony, and 16-year-old neighbor Duncan Meekins. What they planned - and carried out - would make them American serial killer legends and reveal to police investigators a seven-month rampage of rape, robbery, and murder exceeding in brutality already documented cases of psychopaths, sociopaths, and sex criminals. As reported in this book, the Briley gang were responsible for the killing of 11 people (among them a five-year-old boy and his pregnant mother) but possibly as many as 20. Unlike most criminals, however, the Briley gang's break-ins and robberies were purely incidental - mere excuses for rape and vicious thrill kills. When authorities (aided by plea-bargaining Duncan Meekins) discovered the whole truth, even their tough skins crawled. Nothing in Virginian history approached the depravities, many of which were committed within miles of the Briley home, where single father James Sr. padlocked himself into his bedroom every night. But this true crime story did not end with the arrests and murder convictions of the Briley gang. Linwood, younger brother James, and six other Mecklenburg death-row inmates hatched an incredible plan of trickery and manipulation - and escaped from the "state-of-the-art" facility on May 31, 1984 - the biggest death-row break-out in American history.

Members Reviews: Mostly war stories, ploddingly told The good: lots of war stories/case studies. Easy listening and entertaining. The bad: light on second-order thinking; i.e., this book doesnt work hard to extract lessons across cases. To the extent it attempts to do so, the lessons are hackneyed, such as use imagination and teamwork. Most chapters end with adages like: We need to constantly repeat and remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. The writing is competent but somewhat plodding. I groaned at one non-ironic invocation of Forrest Gumps life is like a box of chocolates Also, in a few instances, the author inserts entire press releases, indictments, and the like when a short summary would have been more effective. The narration is ok but not inspired -- comfortable to listen at 1.5x to 2x. Dull and droning....... While some of the cases were indeed interesting most of this book seemed to be a self laudatory chronology of Mr. Biegelman's career. The pace of the reading was soooo very slow. On my phone I could increase the pace but on the web app for listening it is a painfully slow pace......It is regrettable that of the few books I have chosen to write a review it would be so negative. So many books I have rated as 4 to 5 stars. But hopefully this will spare another customer the wasted moments of plodding through this book. The life of a fraud investigator, warts and all What did you like best about Faces of Fraud? What did you like least? The different stories and examples of what frauds took place and how they were found was good - the authors extensive experience comes through. A pity the writer over did how "evil" everyone who has done a fraud is, laid it on a bit thick when it wasn't necessary for the story line. I think the book could have been better structured, it did seem to jump around a lot without a clear reason. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Well to be honest if it wasn't related to my work this would be considered pretty boring and dull. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Modern-Scholar-Crime-Scene-Investigation-Part-II-Audiobook/B006ZN2EKA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Best of the Spingola Files Subtitle: Volume 1 & 2 Author: Steven Spingola Narrator: Barry Newman Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 11-12-13 Publisher: Lemon Press Publishing Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: During a career that spanned parts of four decades, Steve Spingola's reputation as a tenacious homicide detective earned him the moniker "the sleuth with the proof." Now, the investigator with a national reputation for excellence takes listeners on de facto ride along to revisit unsolved murders, reminisce about Milwaukee's underworld, and examine the suspicious drowning deaths of young men in the hard-drinking college town of Lacrosse, Wisconsin. "In a four-part segment entitled "The Detectives in the Rye," Steve Spingola does an outstanding job detailing why the strangulation murders of prostitutes and others involved in the vice underground are difficult to solve," said retired Milwaukee PD detective Larry Powalisz. "In great detail, he explains how killers with a slightly different signature often target those from the same victimology demographic." Spingola also takes a critical look at the post 9/11 world of government surveillance, including cellular telephone and credit card tracking, the spread of facial recognition software, the storing of all emails and telephonic communication, private sector DNA sharing, and intrusive drone technologies that threaten to undermine the privacy and liberty of all Americans. "As a lieutenant of detectives, Steve Spingola taught me that an investigator's real pursuit is the truth," wrote Eric Donaldson, a 20-year Milwaukee Police Department veteran. "When explaining the facts behind a story, he brings skill and acumen to the table. In a crowded literary genre, authenticity is king and Steve Spingola brings it." biacuaduc@gmail.com (Steven Spingola) Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:09:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Best-of-the-Spingola-Files-Audiobook/B00GLU7JDE thebookvoice.com 06:04:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good book about Milwaukee's crime history I saw this book advertised on another site and just had to have it, it is I believe a collection of articles written by Mr. Spingola. It covers a lot of Milwaukee and surrounding area history of unsolved homicides and other crimes. growing up in Racine, Milwaukee has always been the big bad city no one wanted to visit. After working in the city I found it a bit less scary even though I worked a bad neighborhood. I recognized a lot of the crimes and found them very interesting especially the authors viewpoint. I read it twice so I would not miss anything and I really liked his story about former Chief Brier. If you like crime stories this one book you don't want to miss. Five Stars Very good book good book love all the murder shows, unsolved shows, disappeared, so obviously I love this book, scary to think about all this stuff that happens, but still want to read it Awesome book! Love watching him on Cold Justice Awesome book! Love watching him on Cold Justice. Best Book About Wisconsin Crimes, Surveillance Having worked with Steve Spingola at the Milwaukee Police Department, I knew him to be a highly intelligent, hard-charger of a detective. Needless to say, his book did not disappoint. His series four part series called "Detectives in the Rye" (about the strangulation deaths of Milwaukee prostitutes and drug users) is outstanding. Also, Spingola's take on the late Milwaukee wannabe mobster Max Adonnis brought back some good memories. I've purchased both the paperback and audiobook version of this book. The narrator in the audio book did an awesome job speaking the parts of those quoted and gives the book a fresh perspective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Impact-Statement-Audiobook/B00HNDI3X8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Impact Statement Subtitle: A Family's Fight for Justice Against Whitey Bulger, Stephen Flemmi, and the FBI Author: Bob Halloran Narrator: Christopher Kipiniak Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: As the biggest criminal trial since the Boston Strangler draws nearer, the publics fascination with the life and crimes of mob boss Whitey Bulger continues to heat up. Many stories have been told about the murders Whitey and Stephen The Rifleman Flemmi committed, and the tacit permission they received from the FBI. But never before has the story been told from the point of view of one of the victims families - until now. Impact Statement is the first book to provide background into the family of a victim and their own compelling history and experiences, their decades-old fight for justice, the momentous victory over the US government, and their angry quest for the closure that Bulgers trial may provide. Author Bob Halloran will have front-row access to the trial and the ensuing media blitz, as he observes the trial alongside Steven F. Davis, perhaps the most outspoken advocate for the victims families. The murder of Daviss sister, Debbie, is what keeps Flemmi jailed to this day, and remains the most horrific and arbitrary killing committed by Bulger and Flemmi. Steven Daviss colorful commentary and reflective admissions of his own criminal past will reveal how he was once a protg of Flemmis, and how the Davis familys longstanding relationship with Flemmi cost them a father, two sisters, and a brother. Such is the devastating impact Bulger and Flemmis violence had not only on their own families, but many others as well. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bob Halloran) Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:00:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Impact-Statement-Audiobook/B00HNDI3X8 thebookvoice.com 08:39:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It is so easy to use and the taste is nice. I was skeptical at first by how it looks, but I was pleasantly surprised!!! A Good Read Impact Statement is a well balanced, well-written account revealing little known aspects of the Bulger saga. Laurence J. Yadon Co-author, One Murder Too Many: Whitey Bulger and the Computer Tycoon. Three Stars Interesting read. A must read! What is great about this book is that it tells of the "impact" that Whitey Bulger, Steve Flemmi and the FBI had on one family, the Davis family and especially of the agony that Steve Davis, brother of Debbie Davis, felt knowing she was brutally murdered by these men and no one seemed willing to investigate the murder. It is Steve's story, not Whitey's, and Bob Halloran's writing allows us to journey with Steve -- from the first time he met Whitey right through the recent Bulger trial. We are left hoping that Steve will eventually feel that justice is served in his long fought battle to achieve it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Tough-Crimes-Audiobook/B01MYFK079 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Greenspan, Richard Wolson, Marilyn Sandford, Earl Levy, Peter Martin Narrator: Bonnie Horton Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-06-17 Publisher: Durvile Publications Ltd. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Tough Crimes is a collection of thoughtful and insightful stories by 20 of Canada's most prominent criminal lawyers. In the book they write about cases that had surprising turns or that presented personal or ethical challenges. We've all heard the media's take on notorious criminals, but when have we had a chance to hear directly from the lawyers who defended or prosecuted them? We've all lamented the fate of a person who we think was wrongfully accused, but who better to explain what happened than his or her counsel, who was there for the client every step of the way? In Tough Crimes, Edward Greenspan writes on a miscarriage of justice; Richard Wolson and Marilyn Sandford on the wrongfully convicted; Earl Levy on the Toronto Shoeshine Boy murder; Peter Martin on a study of evil; John Rosen on defending Paul Bernardo; Fred Ferguson on child abuse; William Smart on a "Mr. Big" sting; Richard Peck on Air India; Noel O'Brien on corpora delicti; Joel Pink on the Antigonish Beech Hill murders; Brian Beresh and Patrick Fagan on reasonable doubt; Mark Brayford on Robert Latimer; Marie Henein on the wrongfully charged; C. D. Evans on weighing moralities; William Trudell on the Walkerton water treatment disaster; forensic psychologist Thomas Dalby on the Taber school shootings; John Vertes on aboriginal justice; and Hersh Wolch on a young prosecutor's trial by fire. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Diary-of-a-DA-Audiobook/B00BFZDB46 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Diary of a DA Subtitle: The True Story of the Prosecutor Who Took on the Mob, Fought Corruption, and Won Author: Herbert J. Stern Narrator: Kevin Kenerly Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: A gripping inside account of the mechanisms of law and order. In 1961, 25-year-old Herbert Jay Stern, fresh from reserve duty, stood in his green army uniform in a New York County courtroom to be sworn in as an attorney. He could only guess what his life as a prosecuting lawyer would be. A dozen years later, in the wake of the national scandal of Watergate, Stern, draped in black robes now, would take the oath of office as a federal judge. In the years between, the idealistic young Stern would sharpen his skills in the realities of the criminal courts of New York City, to emerge as the lead trial attorney for the Justice Department, charged with breaking the back of organized crime in New Jersey. Sterns highly charged account of his outright war against powerful state government officials and the mafia takes us deep inside the mechanisms of law and order during a time when assassinations came fast and loose, cities were burning in race riots, and racketeering and graft were so prevalent in the Garden State that its own senator called it a "stench in the nostrils and an offense to the vision of the world". Before Stern and his equally dedicated colleagues on the "strike force" out of Washington, D.C., are finished, they will have successfully prosecuted the mayors of Jersey City, Newark, and Atlantic City for being on the take; a congressman for conspiracy, tax violations, and perjury; and blackened the eye of organized crime. Editorial Reviews: At age 34 in 1971, Herbert J. Stern felt overwhelmed when he was appointed the chief federal prosecutor for the district of New Jersey. His task was to take down the Mob and state politicians on the take. Easy, right? Stern went after New Jersey government officials taking kickbacks and bribes. Among his convictions against 100 Garden State officials, Stern unmasked Newarks mayor Hugh Addonizio. Later, as a federal judge, he presided over a precedent-setting case involving an airplane hijacking in West Berlin. Kevin Kenerly brings a no-nonsense delivery and his deep voice to this story of the law triumphing over corruption. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Herbert J.

Title: The Rising Subtitle: Murder, Heartbreak, and the Power of Human Resilience in an American Town Author: Ryan D'Agostino Narrator: Ryan D'Agostino Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-15-15 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 38 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: The astonishing story of one man's recovery in the face of traumatic loss - and a powerful meditation on the resilience of the soul On July 23, 2007, Dr. William Petit suffered an unimaginable horror: Armed strangers broke into his suburban Connecticut home in the middle of the night, bludgeoned him nearly to death, tortured and killed his wife and two daughters, and set their house on fire. He miraculously survived, and yet living through those horrific hours was only the beginning of his ordeal. Broken and defeated, Bill was forced to confront a question of ultimate consequence: How does a person find the strength to start over and live again after confronting the darkest of nightmares? In The Rising, acclaimed journalist Ryan D'Agostino takes us into Bill Petit's world, using unprecedented access to Bill and his family and friends to craft a startling, inspiring portrait of human strength and endurance. To understand what produces a man capable of surviving the worst, D'Agostino digs deep into Bill's all-American upbringing and in the process tells a remarkable story of not just a man's life but of a community's power to shape that life through its embrace of loyalty and self-sacrifice as its most important values. Following Bill through the hardest days - through the desperate times in the aftermath of the attack and the harrowing trials of the two men responsible for it - The Rising offers hope that we can find a way back to ourselves, even when all seems lost. Today, Bill Petit has remarried. He and his wife have a baby boy. The very existence of this new family defies rational expectation, and yet it confirms our persistent, if often unspoken, belief that we are greater than what befalls us and that if we know where to look for strength in trying times, we will always find it. Critic Reviews: "The Rising lingers long after you have read it. It raises fundamental issues about the human condition - our ability to move on in the face of unspeakable tragedy. In the hands of Ryan D'Agostino what emerges is a pitch-perfect story of grace, eloquence, and renewal beyond imagination." (Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights) "The Rising is a gut punch of a book, one I'm sure I'll never forget. Ryan D'Agostino unflinchingly takes us into the intimate world of Dr. Bill Petit, and in doing so brings us face-to-face with loss, resilience, perseverance, and finally our own humanity. A book so taut and moving I read it in one breath before exhaling." (Michael Paterniti, author of The Telling Room and Driving Mr. Albert) "One of the most heartrending and beautiful books I have ever read. The Rising is more than a story about one man's impossible triumph; it's a story about the power within all of us to find our ways no matter what."

(The American Lawyer) Members Reviews: Biased and mostly inaccurate Author has a vested interest in portraying Jimmy Hoffa in an unflattering, and libelous, manner. Do some research on this author. The Hoffa we hardly knew Usually, Hoffa is associated with big time gangsters and shady, if not illegal, union dealings. This is a story of a man who dared to try to clean up his Local with the thought that he was 'helping Hoffa'. Little did he know, and that almost cost him his life. Very good read. Growing up in Detroit Growing up in Detroit while all of the events in this book where happening brought back memories. Mr. Harper tells his father's story from the perspective of the rank and file union member in a very real way. Well written and edited. Five Stars good book,, Fantastic read Great reading as the author, with his litigation experience, puts the pieces togethet of the story so that all the facts are represented and the story flows. Even though I knew the outcome, I was still pulling for the dad to muscle out and be the victor against Mr. Hoffa. Besides the story about his father, what a wonderful way to remember your childhood thru the eyes of your father. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Stranger-and-the-Worlds-Bravest-Little-Girl-Audiobook/B00HNESEC2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Very well written. But then I do enjoy Gregg Olsen's, like Joe Friday, "Just the facts Mam, style. I thought I was very well versed about Ted Bundy's crimes. This answered some questions for me. Like how old are serial killers when they make their first kill. I don't believe that even the best FBI criminal profiler's will disagree with that opinion. Thank God, serial killers are a different breed than the average human. I did not regret my purchase. A very informative, and good read for fans of true crime. Ann Rule is my favorite writer, but I have to find something to read in between her next publishing's. Bottom line: I like the fact the the writers did not weigh the book down with too much info about court proceedings. If as a writer, you tell the story of the criminal, there is no need to weigh the reader down with the most minute court proceedings. WE KNOW THE STORY IF YOU TOLD IT WELL! Just throw in any court proceedings that where not common knowledge in the story telling of the subject's crime. Please!

In this meticulous and authoritative account of the crime, the trial, and the times of the Lindbergh kidnapping, Robert Zorn clears away decades of ungrounded speculation surrounding the case. Inspired by his father's relationship with the actual accomplices - including the mastermind - he presents the clearest ever picture of a criminal partnership, which would shake every class and culture of American society. Using personal possessions and documents, never-before-seen photographs, new forensic evidence, and extensive research, Robert Zorn has written a shocking and captivating account of the crime and the original "Trial of the Century". From the ecstatic riots that followed the Spirit of St. Louis on either side of the Atlantic, to the tragic night that would shake America's sense of security, to the horror of the New Jersey morgue where Lindbergh insisted on verifying the identity of his son, Zorn's skillful treatment meets this larger-than-life story and gives it definitive shape - revealing the true story behind the crime for the first time. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Robert Zorn) Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:34:34 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Cemetery-John-Audiobook/B008O88QBK thebookvoice.com 10:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great listen!! Would you consider the audio edition of Cemetery John to be better than the print version? No Have you listened to any of Sean Runnettes other performances before? How does this one compare? no Any additional comments? This is a very interesting book that carefully weaves the life of the great airman, his family and the questionable characters highlighted. Detailed and thorough investigation and a captivating performance. Very well depicted point of view. Perfectly narrated by the tone of speech and the speed of clearly spoken words. Well written interesting and informative writing. Some of the descriptive writing was outside of the scope of information. For example; The Jefferson Library... I found myself waiting to get back to the information he was there for. But as I have been reading other books on this history, the clarity of facts even makes the other readings more understandable. Probably because it is more factual than a story. Very good! It is even better than what I expected. Very enjoyable I really enjoyed listening to Cemetery John. The content and reader kept me captivated. The book did become a bit redundant but it did not seem to bother me to continue on to the end! Loved the story about the author and his dad too! Great book and believable theory. Would you listen to Cemetery John again? Why? No, once was plenty. Who was your favorite character and why? Really hard to say. Which scene was your favorite? There were many, but one is when they trace and find large portion of ransom bills. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. Wanted to absorb everything. Any additional comments? Not know too much about the kidnapping, I'm sure from all the facts this has to be what happened. Great book and narrator! Great theory about the Linbergh kidnapping! I was concerned that being a historical book it would be dull, but it was a really well thought out story with some extremely interesting insight into the Linbergh kidnapping. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Lost-Youth-A-True-Story-Audiobook/B015DAW39W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: well done though a sad story... i found the book to be well written with a tremendous amount of research performed...narration was solid...a very sad story though...the author's commentary was sometimes helpful but i felt like he was sometimes attempting to rationalize the irrational and more often than not, the commentary was not helpful to me... Very thorough story Story was detailed and complete but the narrator needed work. Definitely would recommend this book. Outstanding effort by writer and narrator Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The realism was so effective it kept me absolutely riveted. What other book might you compare Lost Youth: A True Story to and why? It read much like Ann Rule in its descriptions and narration. It's a sad but effective story of a young girl. What about Steve Blizins performance did you like? His sound effects were great. He brought life to the story. It felt real. If you could give Lost Youth: A True Story a new subtitle, what would it be? A tragic family loss. Any additional comments? Great effort by reader and writer! Writers should not preach to the reader . Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? There is definitely a story to be written here, but I felt that a lot of time was wasted in this book with the author's frequent side tracking into monologues; giving his opinion or a personal story that has no bearing in this story at all(such as his own youthful bad behavior). Also, unneeded and unwanted: paragraphs of the author instructing the reader not to judge or not to disrespect the dead, but then also reminding us that "those who live by the sword, die by it"(isn't that a judgement?). Authors of true crime should write their story from an investigator's point of view and not include their opinions or advice to the reader... just stick to the facts of the case and what you have uncovered in your research. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Escaped-Killer-True-Story-of-Serial-Killer-Allan-Legere-Audiobook/B075TJ5SYG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Hated Scoiety Allen Legere only had one friend, his brother. Everyone always laughed and made fun of him all through school. After his brother was killed his life spiraled out of control. Worked many years selling cars making small salary just getting by. Even there at his work place employees laughed at him. He quit his job, hatred started boiling in him toward people. His first kill during a robbery to gain money didn't work out so well. He was caught. He managed to escape prison. Time on the run was tough, stealing cars along the way. As the hatred grew more for people he looked for his next victim, a old man and his wife. He viciously beat them, some how the lady lived and described Allen. As time has passed now the police got his DNA. Eventually he was caught after two more kills. Tried and convicted, everyone was finally at ease he was caught. RJ did a great job describing this serial killer, and his hate for everyone. Very interesting read This book is very interesting and informative. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes true crime books. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. Great read and very well written Great read and very well written. Not what I expected for a true crime book though. I expected more of the romanticized story with background and character development versus just the hard facts of almost a research novel, but a very interesting read about a case I had never heard of. Allan Legere This is a mini book and there is a bit of repetition in the narrative. With a bit of editing the tale would be more brief . It isn't something I would highly recommend. Escaped Killer Very good true crime book. Well written and will hold you spellbound throughout. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Killer-on-Call-Why-No-One-Stopped-the-Angel-of-Death-Audiobook/B01706R5Z4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The novelist has spared no language - has minced no words - to describe violent scenes of violent times. In this, the 10th of the series, Dumas places us at the court of Joan of Naples, a beautiful, emotional, highly capable woman at the center of 30 years of plotting, betrayal, intrigue, war, beauty, love, and death. Hers is a world at war between both secular and ecclesiastical centers of power: the Pope at Avignon, the king in France, the emperor in Germany, and most importantly for her story, the kings of Hungary, so far away in culture and temperament, so close across the Adriatic Sea. Personal, political, and social forces lead to her connivance in the death of her husband, forces which eventually lead to her own death as well. This is the world that Niccolo Machiavelli knew so well and described so precisely: a world where networks of competing interests writhe and clash, where enemies become friends and friends become enemies with startling speed, where the highest courage and the basest cowardice can combine in the same person.

Members Reviews: Some Big "D" Underbelly History There was some historical information relating to the rough and tumble days of the 40's and 50's. Overall, the story was so-so. I was not an "on the edge of my seat" captive. The story could have been better developed. The narrator was ok. It's not a book I will read again or recommend to someone else. Facinating read... What made the experience of listening to I'll Do My Own Damn Killin' the most enjoyable? Just to know the facts about the start of the dynasty... What did you like best about this story? How casually Binion could kill his competitors....and vice versa. What about David Carpenters performance did you like? All good. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The day Binion & a fellow conspirator planned a murder in downtown Dallas (where I live now) at a bank....and basically get away with it, and many more. Any additional comments? Pure facination how illegal gambling was tolerated in early Dallas, and what effect it had on Las Vegas.... What a charactor this man was. Interesting, but not overly captivating What did you like best about I'll Do My Own Damn Killin'? What did you like least? I did learn that gambling was mainstream long before Las Vegas and that Benny got his start and made most of his money in Dallas/Fort Worth. I didn't like that the book was wrought with supposition and the true facts were few and far-between. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Certainly did not go out with a bang. How could the performance have been better? I think the narrator was poor. I found myself focusing in mispronounced words or poorly-delivered phrases and missing the content. I was not impressed. Do you think I'll Do My Own Damn Killin' needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No. Unless there's more from the UNLV interview that can be implemented, the rest was pure guess-work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Game-Over-Audiobook/B007SP1YL4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Game Over Subtitle: Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, and the Culture of Silence Author: Bill Moushey, Robert Dvorchak Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 04-17-12 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: The shocking details chronicling how a beloved coach and esteemed university became enmeshed in one of the worst scandals in U.S. sports history.... It's a scandal that began in a place called Happy Valley. But it's not as happy as it once was, as the child-sex-abuse charges against a longtime coach and the conspiracy of silence surrounding the allegations have rocked America and Division 1 college sports. The shocking stories started to pour out after the November 6, 2011, arrest of Jerry Sandusky, a former coach under the Penn State football legend Joe Paterno. Sandusky had been Paterno's top lieutenant for thirty-two years. He was also the founder of a charity, The Second Mile, that devoted itself to helping disadvantaged youth. It turns out Paterno was told about an incident involving an underage boy showering with Sandusky in the football locker room, but reported the incident to school officials rather than the police. The numerous boys in Sandusky's program who have come forward told a grand jury lurid stories of a sexual predator who stalked and abused them, sometimes even in the showers of Penn State's football complex. In Game Over, journalists Bill Moushey and Bob Dvorchak investigate claims of a startling cover-up within the Penn State hierarchy that attempted to protect its football legacy, quite possibly at the expense of disenfranchised children. Game Over is filled with the shocking details of how a culture built around one deified coach with a glorious vision to have "success with honor" fails to act in the best interests of the most vulnerable. University president Graham Spanier has been consumed in this firestorm along with Joe Paterno himself in what spiraled downward into the worst scandal in the history of college sports. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bill Moushey) Tue, 17 Apr 2012 01:04:59 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Game-Over-Audiobook/B007SP1YL4 thebookvoice.com 07:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Heartbreaking What made the experience of listening to Game Over the most enjoyable? I felt very emotional. So many people knew but it was all covered up Which character as performed by Malcolm Hillgartner was your favorite? N/A Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? The entire breath and timeline Any additional comments? The sexual descriptions were a little to graphic Unsettling but Accurate What does Malcolm Hillgartner bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He does a good job with voices and really gives different characters distinctive qualities. Any additional comments? This book is very well written. It gives a very accurate account of the Sandusky case. Of course Sandusky committed unspeakable acts, some of which are described in detail, and to listen can be very unsettling. However, if you want to know the full story, or understand the importance of reporting suspicions like this, it's a must read. It reminds us that monsters do exist and continue to strike if they are enabled to do so. It also touches on the importance of transparency for state institutions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Across-the-Border-Audiobook/B076VTJBZD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 2 stars Loved "Without Mercy," so I read this because I am from Houston and had heard all about this when it happened. This book had so many boring details, misspellings, and typos. I was bored halfway through, but finished it. And the end...well that was also a disappointment. :/ Horrible ending. Horrible ending. Don't know what happened to the people accused of these murders. Why are there word limits for reviews? a marrer of fact trip into a matter of lore another dry retelling of the Matamoros blood bath, there is more than a little pertinent info in here if this dark event holds some interest for you. Interesting story. Poorly written--repetitive and poor grammar The author wrote this in a hurry and it shows. Dry repetitive. Poor editing and grammar. There is no final epilogue discussing any final verdicts. Leaves you hanging. The writing is really bad. I fought through it on one of their ... The writing is really bad. I fought through it on one of their other books but this one I had to stop reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Jack-the-Ripper-and-the-Whitechapel-Murders-Audiobook/B06X3XH5Y8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel Murders Subtitle: The Crimes and Victims Attributed to History's Most Notorious Serial Killer Author: Zed Simpson, Charles River Editors Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 02-22-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: When one hears the term Victorian, many images come to mind. For some, the term conjures up visions of lace and gloves and delicate fans. Others think of tight corsets and even tighter morals. Others, swayed perhaps by one too many British costume dramas, envision gentle elegance and long lost beauty. Naturally, few people think of multiple dead bodies cast about in the streets or dark bedrooms, most mutilated to a shocking degree, and yet, those tragic images played a significant role not only in late Victorian London but ever since. In 1888 and 1889, a killer stalked the dark backstreets of the city through the notoriously overcrowded and crime-ridden Whitechapel district, murdering young women and then cutting their bodies up like a butcher. As is so often the case with a serial killer, the first murder was largely ignored. She was a "fallen woman", a prostitute barely worthy of police notice. But then there was another victim, killed and butchered while plying her illicit trade. The police took notice and, by the time the third body was found, also mutilated and filleted like a fish, the public took notice too. An outcry began to swell from the good people of the city who, though willing to overlook a prostitute dying in the streets of alcohol poisoning or a venereal disease, were disconcerted by idea of a mass murderer. Then came two victims found in one day, and a feeling that, if the killer remained on the loose, there was nothing to stop him from seeking victims anywhere, even in the nice suburban neighborhoods of the rising middle-class. As more victims turned up, terror spread throughout the city, and it even became news across the globe, but then the murders seem to have ended just as quickly as they began. There have been a countless number of serial killers throughout history, and certainly more prolific ones, but the timing, circumstances, and unsolved nature of the case continue to make Jack the Ripper the most famous serial killer in history. The intense media coverage trained the spotlight on local police, who interviewed thousands and considered hundreds of suspects, and it likely played a role in both the actual murderer and would-be copycats and pranksters sending hundreds of letters to police claiming to be Jack the Ripper. It's also indisputable that the use of a precise modus operandi, the serial killer being given a nickname, and the taunting letters sent to police all influenced subsequent serial killers and the way they were covered. Whether it's the Zodiac Killer, the Son of Sam, or the Boston Strangler, the antecedent of all 20th century and 21st century serial killers remains Jack the Ripper. The Jack the Ripper case continues to fascinate historians and amateur sleuths so much that people have dubbed themselves Ripperologists, and since nobody knows for sure who the killer was, every aspect of the crimes is up for discussion, down to who the actual victims of the Ripper were and whether there was actually more than one Ripper. In addition to considering so many suspects, the police were only certain that five of the victims (the "canonical five") were killed by Jack the Ripper, but there were at least 11 documented murders over the course of several years, and today those are called the Whitechapel murders. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Zed Simpson) Wed, 22 Feb 2017 03:54:58 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Jack-the-Ripper-and-the-Whitechapel-Murders-Audiobook/B06X3XH5Y8 thebookvoice.com 01:26:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Don't waste your credit Would you try another book from Victoria Redstall and/or Drew Campbell? This book is boring. I actually stopped listening when it got to the trial. I will. Finish but only when I have nothing to listen to. The book drags on, it sets scenery more than anything in my opinion. Maybe the last half will be better. What do you think your next listen will be? I think I will purchase Gacy, the last victim was a good book to. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? no redeeming qualities I can think of, I tried liking the book but the more I listened the more I knew this book was not holding my interest. Too much about author The author bring too much of her own story and self-centeredness for my taste. The narrator mispronounces so many words it is distracting. The topic is great but I could barely finish it. Can make you a little squeamish at times I applaud her for the courage to interview these sociopaths.It was well written.These killers are Dr Jekyll & Hyde characters in every sense. 'Badly 'ritten?' or poorly read.. I so hard to even get through this book. I says. I can't tell if this author doesn't know how to write proper English, but the context and views of the author are the worst of all, completely closed minded, right wing, pro death penalty. The narrator is almost taking the piss, reading everything incorrectly on purpose, I assume he is Scottish and it's not his accent because he definitely knows and would normally pronounce such simple words. the author is clearly only writing to show you her own opinion, of these sick individuals, whom are obviously very mentally ill. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Embrace-A-True-Vampire-Story-Audiobook/B00RYG3IHK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On November 25, 1996, in their home in the lakeside community of Eustis, Florida, Rick and Ruth Wendorf were savagely beaten to death with a tire iron. The Wendorfs' new Ford Explorer was stolen, but this was no routine robbery gone bad. This was a crime carried out by one Roderick Ferrell, a sixteen-year-old self-avowed Antichrist. His human sacrifice was a testament to the unique and sinister bond of four brainwashed teens. Heather Wendorf was a straight "A" student, a petite blonde with wide-set brown eyes. Yet she had been heard to wish her parents "off the face of the planet." Heather never dreamed that when she joined her friends for a joyride one fall evening, her wish had already come true.

Title: The Embrace: A True Vampire Story Author: Aphrodite Jones Narrator: Kim Houston Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-15 Publisher: Crime Rant Classics and Notorious USA Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: With an extraordinary talent for staring evil dead in the eye, New York Times bestselling author and journalist Aphrodite Jones plunges readers into the front lines of a modern nightmare. On November 25, 1996, in their home in the lakeside community of Eustis, Florida, Rick and Ruth Wendorf were savagely beaten to death with a tire iron. The Wendorfs' new Ford Explorer was stolen, but this was no routine robbery gone bad. This was a crime carried out by one Roderick Ferrell, a sixteen-year-old self-avowed Antichrist. His human sacrifice was a testament to the unique and sinister bond of four brainwashed teens. Heather Wendorf was a straight "A" student, a petite blonde with wide-set brown eyes. Yet she had been heard to wish her parents "off the face of the planet." Heather never dreamed that when she joined her friends for a joyride one fall evening, her wish had already come true. Including exclusive interviews with every living character involved in the case, The Embrace will forever change the way we look at one of the fastest-growing religious movements in the country, and its most vulnerable fold: our children. Members Reviews: This Narrator BITES ... Although this is an older book, I was in a vampire mood, so I gave this one a shot, being pretty familiar with the case already. Well, for starters, let's just subtitle this book "Poor Innocent Heather", and get that out of the way right now, because the author must have written this with that thought in mind. Heather, one of Rod's most dearest and closest friends, shares everything with him. Her daily thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams, secrets, AND of course her ongoing complaint that she wished her "abusive parents were dead". One night he does her that very favor in order to please her. She then claims to have "nooooo idea" that he was going to do that, nor that she even knew the 2 murders were taking place as she waited patiently outside in a car for him along with their mutual friends. After eventually being arrested with the others who were with her that night, she admitted okay "MAYBE once" she MIGHT have said that about her parents, but of course she didnt really MEAN it. More like she was thinking to herself: "Yes, I SAID that I wished they were dead...but YOU actually did it Rod, so this is ALL on YOU". And then feigned complete total innocence. Even while Rod was driving the dead parents' car around immediatly after the fact, and showing her items that were taken from the house ...she held fast onto that "I didn't know annnythinnng" story. Everyone involved with this crime (for having knowledge about it or participating) is either still in prison, or has already been released after doing time. Heather was the only one that did not get charged/sentenced. What she DID get was property and insurance money. I saw the news footage and photos at the time, and she sure was looking oddly guilty to me. I can't help but see this as a "the one that got away with it" story, but you may not, and I respect that. This book does have quite a few little tidbits in it that I previously had not known, which made it interesting to me. There's also considerable background info on Rod, his childhood, relationships, friends, his Mom, their vampire lifestyle, and the crime, trial, etc. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Lizard-King-Audiobook/B002V0PMNM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But perhaps more dangerous was coming face to face with Michael J. Van Nostrand, owner of Strictly Reptiles, a thriving family business in Hollywood, Florida. Van Nostrand imports as many as 300,000 iguanas each year (over half the total of America's most popular imported reptile), as well as hundreds of thousands of snakes, lizards, frogs, spiders, and scorpions. Van Nostrand was suspected of being a reptile smuggler by Special Agent Chip Bepler of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who devoted years of his life in an obsessive quest to expose The Lizard King's cold-blooded crimes.

Ever wonder what might be in all the suitcases that glide past you on the luggage carousel at the airport? After listening to this captivating expose' of pet suppliers and their quasi-cartel smuggling operations, I will make sure to keep my distance from that weird lady with the oddly squirming carry-on the next time I have to fly. The story flips between the perspective of the good guys and the bad guys - although at times you wonder which is which - so you end up learning a little about about how to be a great smuggler/criminal and a little about how to catch them. Entertaining and informative - an easy 4 star rating for this great listen. Boring. Hour after Hour of names of Reptiles What disappointed you about The Lizard King? These "adventures" of a Retile Smuggler and the under-sourced, under-manned US Agents who try to apprehend smugglers could have been told in 15 min. So to give the book some substance, the Author fills the gaps with endless names of reptiles and repeats ad-nauseum that there is a lot of reptile enthusiasts who spend a lot of money for retiles. Has The Lizard King turned you off from other books in this genre? Yes. This book basically talks about one smuggler and one agent. Totally boring. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Lizard King? The information in this book could be drastically edited to the point of maybe, making an interesting piece in "Outdoors" or "National Geo". But as a book, it is ridiculously redundant. Any additional comments? Unless you enjoy hearing the names of reptiles, move on to a different book. Buying a snake purse will make you think twice!!! Where does The Lizard King rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top RATE!!! Has The Lizard King turned you off from other books in this genre? Certainly has!!! Which scene was your favorite? I could not put book down. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? After all the training the FBI receives, it finally captures the Reptile King!!! Any additional comments? Great Book!!! Reptiles and humanity I am a reptile breeder and to learn that the biggest names in the business have a darker past is fascinating. absolutely loves this book Amazing book, narrator did it justice. Reptiles are a fascinating topic. The smuggling side of it is a Tony Montana like thrill ride. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Court-of-Last-Resort-Audiobook/B0719LD1NK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In 1945, Erle Stanley Gardner, noted attorney and author of the popular Perry Mason mysteries, was contacted by an overwhelmed California public defender who believed his doomed client was innocent. William Marvin Lindley had been convicted of the rape and murder of a young girl along the banks of the Yuba River, and was awaiting execution at San Quentin. After reviewing the case, Gardner agreed to help - it seemed the fate of the "Red-Headed Killer" hinged on the testimony of a colorblind witness. Gardner's intervention sparked the Court of Last Resort. The Innocence Project of its day, this ambitious and ultimately successful undertaking was devoted to investigating, reviewing, and reversing wrongful convictions owing to poor legal representation, prosecutorial abuses, biased police activity, bench corruption, unreliable witnesses, and careless forensic-evidence testimony. The crimes: rape, murder, kidnapping, and manslaughter. The prisoners: underprivileged and vulnerable men wrongly convicted and condemned to life sentences or death row with only one hope - the devotion of Erle Stanley Gardner and the Court of Last Resort.

Author/attorney tells the stories of innocent and not so innocent prisoners. Some of the prisoners are about to be put to death, how hard everyone involved worked on their own dime. He had good ideas about prisons, lawyers, court system and how much politics got in the way. Instead of reading and listening these suggestions, things got worse. Especially with for profit prisons, more drugs and no good gun control laws. the Court of Last Resort This is a very informative book. I had to get this copy, since mine had molded. It is very interesting, about those accused of crime, sometimes unjustly. Most time justly. Yet there are cases that, after the fact, this "Court of Last Resort" took it upon themselves to investigate the facts, with their own money, and all of the time they could spare. These are investigators, actual judges, and many [high-priced] attorneys, that wanted only to get to the truth. If guilty, so be it; yet if innocent, to prove it. Which usually took much time going over court records, finding witnesses, running down [new] clues, etc.This is a factual book. The book itself was as the seller described. Shipping was in good time. Great read! Great reed! Never get tired of Erle Stanley Gardner. Read about heroic efforts to free innocent people from prison. Unputdownable. Review. The court of last resort. ****. Open road media. 4/11/17 This book, written by Earle Stanley Gardner, was originally published in 1952. This edition has been updated by Open Road Media, with new material included. You might think that it would be somewhat dated, but I found it to be remarkably relevant for today and quite interesting. Garner, who died in 1970, was a prolific writer, most famous for his Perry Mason mysteries. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Killer-Photographer-Audiobook/B06XSLQQK1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He was sentenced to death in California in 2010 for committing five murders in the state between 1977 and 1979. It is believed, however, that he may have over 130 victims. Alcala's charisma and murderous output have a striking similarity to that of Ted Bundy. More than one police detective has referred to him as a "killing machine". He was a sexual sadist and specialized in strangling as a form of torture. He would choke his victims into unconsciousness then revive them only to repeat the torture again. He specialized in creating false photo auditions in which he would book prospective models for a photo shoot then rape and kill them. A traveling serial killer, Alcala would operate out of the Los Angeles area but would journey as far as the Pacific Northwest in search of victims. He would have a locker in Seattle where he would keep a stash of mementos and photographs of his victims. In September of 2016, authorities released a series of photographs that they believe could be additional victims of Alcala. They are now asking for the public's help in identifying who the subjects in the photos are. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Josh Curry) Tue, 28 Mar 2017 01:11:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Killer-Photographer-Audiobook/B06XSLQQK1 thebookvoice.com 00:37:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good source if you're looking for the basics of a case. This is a fairly good read.It features a couple gruesome murders and the girls who committed them. I would recommend if you want the basics of the featured cases. One Star Poorly written, too short, lots of editing errors. Great mini book about Melinda Loveless Great mini book about Melinda Loveless, who committed the heinous torture and murder of 12 year old Shanda Sharer. Loveless was only 16 when she recruited 3 accomplices, Mary Laurine "Laurie" Tackett age 17, Hope Anna Rippey age 15 and Toni Lawrence age 15 to abduct, torture and murder 12 year old Shanda Renee Sharer, who used to attend Hazelwood Junior High School with her (Loveless had repeated multiple grades in school) because Melinda suspected that Shanda Sharer was having a relationship with Loveless's 14 year old girlfriend Amanda Heavrin. One of the first (and best) true crime books I ever read was about this case (Cruel Sacrifice by Aphrodite Jones) and when I read it I was horrified, because the victim was my age and I couldn't believe that she got killed over this girl's jealousy. I also couldn't believe that she got 2 other girls to participate in the murder of a complete stranger. Laurie Tackett basically committed the murder to suck up to Loveless, who she wanted to be friends, maybe more, with her. Hope Rippey had been friends with Laurie since elementary school and Toni Lawrence was really good friends with Hope. Melinda and Laurie actually killed Shanda Sharer, with Hope just waiting in the car with Toni at first but then deciding to participate in the torture and murder. Toni Lawrence did not participate in the murder, but she also did nothing to help, saying in court that she was terrified that if she went against the other girls that they would kill her next, but she also had opportunities to call the cops, or tell anyone that she ignored. I made a lot of mistakes as a teenager, even went to jail a few times but I never would have participated in this and I would have told everyone in that car about how killing someone can send you to prison for life and if that didn't work I would have told them to take me home and called 911 and I can't believe none of them did No respect for the victims! I read about both of these trials and there is and was so much more going on beyond what was written here! There was also an extreme amount of typos. Editors need to pay more attention! A thorough summary of her life and crimes I liked how thoroughly Owen detailed how Loveless may have came to be the way she is. Owen also details her accomplices and their upbringing. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Intruder-Audiobook/B0176LFS20 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A CASE FOR SHERLOCK HOLMS "GIT AWA TEECHR," written across the front of the white, freshly painted school house, and a board nailed across the door greeted Christy one morning as she went to open the school. Now what? Where would the vandalism occur next. She didn't have long to wait. Hearing strange noises downstairs in the mission house at night, she decided to investigate. A tall man stood by the recently donated concert grand piano. A sharp knife in his hand gleamed menacingly in the moonlight. She grabbed his arm and yelled. You won't want to miss finding out who the "angry intruder" was that Christy discovered or the result of her discovery. For All Ages I loved all of the Christy books. Warm, heartfelt, sincere, compassionate, innocent; people who genuinely care about one another. Love shared between them. The kids she taught were in need of someone who loved them unconditionally like Christy did. It's a great read for young readers A little different from the original novel. It's a great read for young readers. Christy and the Angry Intruder Review This book was very good. It read fast and had an interesting plot. There were exciting events that happened and a young person would really enjoy it. The way Christy handles the boy that had been vandalizing the school and terrorizing her was good. It will teach a lot of kids not to retaliate against someone that has hurt you. I would recommend this book for any kid between the age of 8 and 13. It reads well and has very good lessons cleverly slipped in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Amanda-Knox-e-il-delitto-di-Perugia-Amanda-Knox-and-the-Crime-of-Perugia-Audiobook/B004QPKTPG Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> Titolo: Amanda Knox e il delitto di Perugia [Amanda Knox and the Crime of Perugia] Sottotitolo: Misteri Italiani Autore: Jacopo Pezzan, Giacomo Brunoro Narratore: Mauro Ferreri, Max Duprè, Yacine May, Nino Carollo, Rita Zanchetta Formato: Abridged Durata: 1 hr and 14 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 03-07-11 Editore: LA CASE Categoria: Nonfiction, True Crime Riepilogo Editore: Il 5 dicembre 2009 Amanda Knox e Raffale Sollecito sono stati condannati per il brutale omicidio di Meredith Kercher.

If u want a few lesser known murder cases, of which I admit, I have seen on dateline and or the discovery I'd channel , they were nothing spectacular, just ok. I thought of all the murder cases that could have been written about, why are we continuing to see the same 20 or so over and over. But I like Kevin pierce and so I gave it a go. They are not cases which go into to much background and it states matter of fact, the events of the day of and subsequent to the murder and trial outcome.

Title: The Night Stalker Subtitle: The Life and Crimes of One of America's Deadliest Killers Author: Philip Carlo Narrator: Jeff Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 22 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Twenty-five years after Richard Ramirez left 13 dead, paralysing the city of Los Angeles, his name is still synonymous with fear, torture, and sadistic murder. Philip Carlo's US best seller The Night Stalker, based on three years of meticulous research and extensive interviews with Ramirez, reveals the killer and his horrifying crimes to be even more chilling than anyone could have imagined. From watching his cousin commit murder at age 11 to his 19 death sentences to the juror who fell in love with him, the story of Ramirez is a bizarre and spellbinding descent into the very heart of human evil. Incredibly, after The Night Stalker was first published, thousands of women from all over the world started to contact Carlo, begging to be put in touch with the killer. Carlo began to interview them and, in this compelling new edition, presents their disturbing stories and the dark sexual desires that would drive them towards a brutal murderer. Also, in an exclusive death-row interview, the killer himself gives his thoughts on the 'Ramirez Groupies' - and what he thinks they really want. Philip Carlo was the author of the international best seller The Ice Man, as well as The Night Stalker, Gaspipe, and The Killer Within. He lived in New York until his death in November 2010. Critic Reviews: "With brutal honesty, Philip Carlo writes from the heart" (Robert De Niro)"An astonishing portrait of a killer not seen since In Cold Blood" (New York Daily News)"An exceptionally well-told true crime tale" (Publishers Weekly)"The details are amazing, told from many points of view; very scary indeed" (Los Angeles Times) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Philip Carlo) Fri, 21 Feb 2014 20:53:33 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Night-Stalker-Audiobook/B00IECH432 thebookvoice.com 22:28:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Only issue I have is when a male narrator turns his voice into a female voice. I know it's to make it as authentic as possible but it sounds annoying. But else the narrator did a good job A great example of serial-killer true crime! "The Night Stalker" by Philip Carlo is certainly one of the most detailed and exhaustively-researched works of true crime I have ever read. Of particular interest are his insights into Ramirez's character and the workings of the mind and motivations of this infamous killer. Very impressive! one of the best of this genre Philip Carlo has structured this book in a most effective way - three parts, with an epilogue. Part 1 recounts the sequence of Ramirez's dreadful crimes and the victims and their families; Part 2 is the story of the Stalker himself and his family; followed by Part 3, the story of the trial. The epilogue features an interview with Ramirez. The book held my interest from start to finish, but I found the interview frustrating because Carlo didn't ask Ramirez the thing I most wanted to know: how Ramirez would have felt if someone had done to his mother or sister what he had done to his victims. The story of Ramirez's life does suggest that despite his God-fearing, hard-working, law-abiding parents, there were a lot of negative influences on his childhood and teen years which can be seen as contributing to the monster he became. In the end, I was left wondering whether anyone or anything could have, at any point in Ramirez's life prior to these crimes, steered him away from the course he took. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Locked-Up-for-Life-2nd-Edition-Audiobook/B00W5MYAD4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Locked Up for Life 2nd Edition Subtitle: America's Most Powerful Gangs Behind Prison Bars Author: A.K.A. Rizer Narrator: Millian Quinteros Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 04-16-15 Publisher: A.K.A. Rizer Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Prison gangs in America were formed for protection. Their main goal, just like other fraternal groups, was to be protected and respected inside the prison, where most prison gangs originated. These gangs are highly organized. Their powerbase is usually outside the prison, where new members are being recruited by their street-gang members. There are times when a prison gang outgrows the penitentiary life to take on some unlawful acts outside the prison. There are others that are being transplanted from the street. But one distinct characteristic of a prison gang is they are highly race oriented. There are at least three main racial gangs in continental America: Hispanic, black, and white supremacist. In America 90 percent of vicious crimes in other jurisdictions and 48 percent in jurisdiction areas account for gang activities. Some gang-related incidents include: white-collar crimes such as fraud, identity theft, and counterfeiting; prostitution; drug trafficking; gambling; human trafficking; and arms trafficking. Although they are known for being notorious criminals, prison gangs offer a benefit for the police officers inside the prison. They are responsible for the discipline of their members, which helps reduce internal conflicts and violence despite the strong tension. biacuaduc@gmail.com (A.K.A.

Title: Infamous, Not Famous Subtitle: Serial Killers in the Movies and Popular Culture Author: Brian Lee Tucker Narrator: Richard L Walton Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Brian Lee Tucker Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: I am constantly amazed and somewhat bewildered by the amount of Hollywood and indie produced films that seem to glorify and sensationalize serial killers. And even placing a romantic spin on low life dirt-bags like Ted Bundy is almost too much to bear. The man almost radiated evil like a supernova. What is even more strange is, while filmmakers continue to spew out films starring handsome, normal looking men {Ted Bundy was one of the only men to fit into this category} they seem to totally ignore some of the most prolific and vicious serial killers in history. Now don't get me wrong; I am not saying that I believe that any serial killer should be made famous for their crimes, gain celebrity status. But is has always left me totally confused as to why so many unheard of killers haven't shown up in popular media. Hell, some of these guys even have web sites dedicated to them, as well as a lot of loyal fans and followers of their crimes. Some of them even have 'groupies' who follow their favorite killer's every move, news articles, etc., in order to keep up with them. Some of these groupies have even married their favorite serial killer. Love is truly blind, I guess.

Title: Infamous, Not Famous Subtitle: Serial Killers in the Movies and Popular Culture Author: Brian Lee Tucker Narrator: Richard L Walton Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 12-22-17 Publisher: Brian Lee Tucker Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: I am constantly amazed and somewhat bewildered by the amount of Hollywood and indie produced films that seem to glorify and sensationalize serial killers. And even placing a romantic spin on low life dirt-bags like Ted Bundy is almost too much to bear. The man almost radiated evil like a supernova. What is even more strange is, while filmmakers continue to spew out films starring handsome, normal looking men {Ted Bundy was one of the only men to fit into this category} they seem to totally ignore some of the most prolific and vicious serial killers in history. Now don't get me wrong; I am not saying that I believe that any serial killer should be made famous for their crimes, gain celebrity status. But is has always left me totally confused as to why so many unheard of killers haven't shown up in popular media. Hell, some of these guys even have web sites dedicated to them, as well as a lot of loyal fans and followers of their crimes. Some of them even have 'groupies' who follow their favorite killer's every move, news articles, etc., in order to keep up with them. Some of these groupies have even married their favorite serial killer. Love is truly blind, I guess.

A poor kid from the slums, Robert Fitzpatrick grew up to become a stellar FBI agent and challenge the country's deadliest gangsters. Relentless in his desire to catch, prosecute, and convict Whitey Bulger, Fitzpatrick fought the nation's most determined cop-gangster battle since Melvin Purvis hunted, confronted, and killed John Dillinger. In his crusade to bring Bulger to justice, Fitzpatrick faced not only Whitey but also corrupt FBI agents, along with political cronies and enablers from Boston to Washington who, in one way or another, blocked his efforts at every step. Even when Fitzpatrick discovered the very organization to which he had sworn allegiance was his biggest obstacle, the agent continued to pursue Whitey and his gang... knowing that they were prepared to murder anyone who got in their way.

Critic Reviews: "An essential [listen] for those interested in the history of crime investigation and techniques used in modern-day law enforcement." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: The dangers of government power. Very interesting and informative, but it puts unnecessary burdens on the reader. The burdens are too many digressions on the author's personal upbringing and background, which too often distract from the exciting thrust of the main events. It also suffers from a constant emphasis and praise of the author's exploits in other cases. He even quotes from some of his job performance appraisals and puts them in an appendix. Why resort to this for validation of his work with the FBI? It smacks of Insecurity and lack of self-esteem. His efforts to put things on the right track also made me uneasy. He knew at some point that internal corruption of agents - as well as career building at the highest levels - were getting people killed, but never went outside the FBI to report it to the Inspector General or other responsible federal agency. This failure seems to make him one of the enablers of FBI corruption. Perhaps the most important part of the book is the detailed insights it provides into government bureaucracy and the dangers of government power. Anyone who wants concrete examples of the dangers of government power foreseen by the framers of the Constitution should read this book. The FBI has a lot of power. which is the very source of the corruption amply displayed in this book. A great read. I found this book to be informative and well done. It is for me a classic tale of virtue versus corruption. You have on one hand a man who is trying to do his best to honestly serve his chosen career as a FBI agent while being challenged by those who believe that self service should always come first. I am unfamiliar with the ghost writer.... Mr. Jon Land.... but intend on searching for other works by him. The fact that Mr Fitzpatrick continued to fight the proverbial good fight LONG after he retired speaks volumes of his integrity and high expectations. It is amazing that he was so willing to testify when he had nothing to gain but "vindication". I surely can understand why he sought out this vindication. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/True-Crime-Deadly-Serial-Killers-and-Grisly-Murder-Stories-from-the-Last-100-Years-Audiobook/B01LDF8RVO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

'It was the genius of the system.... From day to day you didn't know who was on the take or not. You didn't know who you could trust.' Three Crooked Kings is the shocking true story of Queensland and how a society was shaped by almost half a century of corruption. At its core is Terence Murray Lewis, deposed and jailed former police commissioner. From his entry into the force in 1949, Lewis rose through the ranks, becoming part of the so-called Rat Pack with detectives Glendon Patrick Hallahan and Tony Murphy under the guiding influence of Commissioner Frank Bischof. The next four decades make for a searing tale of cops and killings, bagmen and blackmail, and sin and sleaze that exposes a police underworld which operated from Queensland and into New South Wales. This gripping story exposes the final pieces of the puzzle, unearths new evidence on cold cases, and explores the pivotal role that whistle-blower Shirley Brifman, prostitute and brothel owner, played until her sudden death. Based on extensive and unprecedented access to Terry Lewis and his personal papers as well as hundreds of interviews with key players and conspirators, award-winning journalist and novelist Matthew Condon has crafted the definitive account of an era that changed a state and is still reverberating to this day. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Matthew Condon) Tue, 01 Aug 2017 13:57:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Three-Crooked-Kings-Audiobook/B073X3WW2H thebookvoice.com 12:24:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Rockefeller Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Black Dahlia murder case is one of the most unbelievable and famous murder stories in the city rife, and a lot of fame-seekers around the town were claiming her death and wanted to play part of the case. And over years, the number of people who were claiming her brutal death grew into hundreds, and almost all detectives who handled the murder case of Black Dahlia dropped the case shortly. Elizabeth Short, who is also nicknamed "Black Dahlia", was brutally murdered in January 15, 1947, with her body cut in two and severely mutilated. Dahlia's body was found in a vacant lot that is near the intersection of 39th St. and Norton Ave. in South Los Angeles and had no trace of blood in the place of the crime scene. Her death is one of the most publicized murder cases in 1947, but the police and the investigation team have never been able to solve the brutal crime. Up until now, the case of "Black Dahlia" was still considered by many as a mystery, and the question still remains today as to "who really killed her" and "what is the true motive of her murderer". Black Dahlia's murderer was never found, thus leaving her death as one of the cold case files in L.A. In this audiobook, we will again re-open the case of Black Dahlia and try to decipher the mystery of her brutal death, which remained unsolved up until now.

If this isn't bot-generated content, then a human created it by copy-&-paste from other sources. It's so bad that I considered returning it. The narrator does a good job, though. Ugh! Wikipedia is more informative than this! I didn't know what I was getting into, having paid little attention and having done no research into the author or content but being a fan of the BDM case I thought why not. Lesson learned. It's read reasonably well with only one cringe - worthy mispronunciation. However, it suffered from poor content and not enough detail given of the investigation or suspects. I would stick with the Crime Library over this superficial run down of events. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Madness-Sex-Serial-Killer-Audiobook/B00K58XN4M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

William Phelps and Gregg Olsen. Members Reviews: Feel ripped off What would have made Madness, Sex, Serial Killer better? Nowhere in the publisher summary or on the cover does it let you know that this is nothing more than an extended commercial for the author's t.v. show and his other books. Constant references, and irritating "if you want to know more then buy my book/watch my show" ploys leave a bad taste in the listener's mouth. I feel cheated. What could M. William Phelps and Gregg Olsen have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Been honest about what was actually contained in this waste of a download. What Happened Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes because I still love Greg Olsen, but this book was not what I expected What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Can't say... What do you think the narrator could have done better? Love the narrator Do you think Madness, Sex, Serial Killer needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No Any additional comments? I want True Stories not stories about True Stories Great Another great box set. I have purchased many of this type of sets. listen to it, you won't be disappointed. Unless you are a fan of the authors' work, don't bother Apparently this is background information to a TV series I have never heard of and a book I have never read. Essentially it's a really long advertisement for the two and their authors. Particularly the self glorification gets tiresome. Why does anyone think a crime lover would care if the author just had to read something at their desk or that some sources are disappointing? How he felt on a car drive? If you do, you will love this book. Everyone else should stick to notorious USA. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Life-and-Times-of-the-Stopwatch-Gang-Audiobook/B00UY4DLGC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And for the duration of their reign, no bank robbers were more feared (though they never fired their guns) nor more pursued or more mythologized than the Stopwatch Gang. The members themselves were straight out of central casting: Lionel Wright, a meticulous introvert who could disappear in a room full of people; Paddy Mitchell, a charming and well-connected crook who saw an angle in everything and would go to any lengths to avoid the hell of being locked away; and Stephen Reid, a fearless point man who could find the weakness in any system and whose story - of addiction and descent into crime, of redemption and literary fame - was all prelude to a tragic but life-saving fall from grace. In The Life and Times of the Stopwatch Gang, Josh Dean reconstructs the gang's glory days and reveals how the real story, pieced together through months of research and reporting - most prominently with Reid himself, as he comes to the end, at age 64, of his final days in the custody of the state - is more remarkable than the myth that has long been told. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Josh Dean) Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:12:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Life-and-Times-of-the-Stopwatch-Gang-Audiobook/B00UY4DLGC thebookvoice.com 01:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Tangled Web Subtitle: The Life and Death of Richard CainChicago Cop and Mafia Hitman Author: Michael Cain Narrator: Clinton Wade Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: The Tangled Web tells the dramatic story of detective Richard Cain's criminal career as revealed by his half-brother, Michael. Cain led a double-lifeone as a well-known cop who led raids that landed on the front pages, and the other as a "made man" in one of Chicago's most notorious mob families. Eventually executed by shotgun, Dick Cain lived and died in a world of bloodshed and violence, leaving behind a story so outlandish that he has even been suspected of being involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Editorial Reviews: The Tangled Web is Michael Cain's absolutely fascinating story about his half-brother, Richard Cain, who is part cop and part mobster. After Richard's death, a confused Michael investigates his brother's complex life. The result is this audiobook that delves into the Windy City's history as a mob epicenter of bloodshed and violence. Clinton Wade's performance is cool and direct, a reflection of Chicago's wise guys. His pacing is unhurried so none of the gory facts are lost. For all Al Capone lovers, this honest look at the real-world mafia is unbeatable. Critic Reviews: "One of the most important mob books ever written."

(Ray Gibson, Chicago Tribune) Members Reviews: Just not Enjoyable What would have made The Tangled Web better? Another narrator. It had no inflection and even seemd like punctuation was ignored. If I had been told that the book was read by a computer, I would have believed it. I think it was an interesting story, but it was certainly lost in the delivery. What was most disappointing about Michael Cains story? The narrator. Would you be willing to try another one of Clinton Wades performances? No You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I think the story could have been great, but I couldn't get past the performance. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Dominici-Affair-Audiobook/B075QMHTZ3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Dominici Affair Subtitle: Murder and Mystery in Provence Author: Martin Kitchen Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Sir Jack Drummond, with his wife, Lady Anne, and their 10-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, were on holiday on the French Riviera when they stopped to make camp just off the road near a farm called La Grand' Terre in Provence. The family was found murdered the next morning. More than two years later, the barely literate, 75-year-old proprietor of La Grand' Terre, Gaston Dominici, was brought to trial, convicted, and condemned to death by guillotine. When Dominici was convicted, there was general agreement that the ignorant, pitiless, and depraved old peasant had gotten what he deserved. At the time, he stood for everything backward and brutish about a peasantry left behind in the wake of France's postwar transformation and burgeoning prosperity. But with time perspectives changed. Subsequent inquiries coupled with widespread doubts and misgivings prompted President de Gaulle to order his release from prison in 1960, and, by the 1980s, many in France came to believe - against all evidence - that Gaston Dominici was innocent. He had become a romanticized symbol of a simpler, genuine, and, somehow, more honest life from a bygone era. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Martin Kitchen) Sun, 01 Oct 2017 06:49:04 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Dominici-Affair-Audiobook/B075QMHTZ3 thebookvoice.com 10:55:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Fugitive with One Shoe Author: Caitlin Rother Narrator: Kevin Pierce Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 03-25-16 Publisher: Crime Rant Classics and Notorious USA Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Welcome to Georgia, where the all-mighty dollar trumps mercy and lawfulness on an all-too-regular basis. Where hit men can be hired for small sums and lovers can be manipulated into killing innocent people, all out of greed. One of the nation's best-selling crime writers, Caitlin Rother, has put together this astonishingly good look at some of the Peach State's most fascinating crime stories in this volume of the New York Times best-selling series, Notorious USA. In the first story, the socialite wife of a multimillionaire is fatally shot by a flower delivery man on the day of a key divorce hearing. After sending authorities on a global fugitive hunt, the man responsible is brought back to face justice 20 years later, wearing only one sandal on his gout-ridden feet. In the second, a crooked businessman trying to go straight is shot in his driveway by a hit man wearing a ski mask and camouflage gear - one in a nationwide series of contract-for-hire murders, advertised in the classified-ad pages of Soldier of Fortune magazine. And finally, a Gulf War veteran and father of three is kidnapped, beaten, and stabbed by the lover of his on-and-off-again wife, who wants to collect life insurance benefits and pay off her house. The lover makes a deal for a life sentence and a chance at parole, while the wife gets the death penalty. She becomes the second woman ever to be executed in Georgia, even after the Pope, other faith-based advocates, and two of her children fight for her clemency, citing her dramatic repentance and rehabilitation through religion. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Caitlin Rother) Fri, 25 Mar 2016 15:24:12 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Fugitive-with-One-Shoe-Audiobook/B01DCQ52BK thebookvoice.com 01:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The book features crimes that occurred in the state of Georgia and are all very interesting with many twists and turns. Like other books by Ms. Rother, the stories have been well researched and this is another well written book. I highly recommend this book to true crime fans. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dance-with-the-Devil-Audiobook/B00K58Y6UW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: powerful message and incredible story I would 100% recommend this book. While the recording quality is not great it's not terrible. This is a story that needs to be told and heard by many! while improvement has been made to our system we could still do more. Had only a few people just believed and acted this poor woman would still be raising her adoring boy. Husbands and Wives... cherish your partner and most importantly STOP the CYCLE! Teach your babies to love not hate! Tinny voices The story itself is decent, but the narrator sounds like he was recorded in an echo chamber and the voice actress who does the role of Connie is very mechanical. The quality of narration was poor to the point of being distracting. True Crime Falls Short This is a poorly written book about a victim being sadly stalked and then murdered by her estranged husband. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me. The narrator was okay and sounded like he recorded the book in a bathroom, and then they added some woman who tried to act and was sometimes laughable, sorry to say, which detracted from the whole tragic story.

Title: Disposable Income Subtitle: A True Story of Sex, Greed, and Im-purr-fect Murder Author: Tammy Mal Narrator: Michael Kramer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-14 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In 1948, when elderly Anna Homeyer and her much younger husband, Charles, decided to sell their home in the Bronx and move to Pennsylvania, residents of the small town of Factoryville couldn't understand why. With no family or friends in the area, the isolated little village seemed an odd choice for strangers to relocate to. But Factoryville warmly welcomed their new neighbors, who seemed eager to fit in - at first. Soon, however, the Homeyers' pleasant disposition began to change. Anna, once highly visible and engaging, was rarely seen at all anymore, and Charles, who was always kind and neighborly, became distant and withdrawn. Local residents were baffled by their behavior. But their curiosity soon turned to suspicion when Anna Homeyer suddenly disappeared, leaving the town with a number of unanswered questions: Why was Charles Homeyer, a married man, receiving numerous lonely hearts magazines and scores of letters from unattached women all over the country? Why was he burning his wife's clothing and selling off her personal belongings? Why did he leave Factoryville, only to return with his wife's most cherished possession? Where was Anna? And what was that foul, putrid odor billowing from the Homeyers' chimney? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Tammy Mal) Thu, 24 Jul 2014 02:40:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Disposable-Income-Audiobook/B00LOMM5EM thebookvoice.com 05:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you consider the audio edition of Disposable Income to be better than the print version? Haven't read it. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? Nothing too compelling just a solid true crime. What does Michael Kramer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He was great! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. It was funny how stupid the guy is. Any additional comments? This is just an easy listen. Interesting true crime. Nothing extraordinary, but good. Well written Enjoyed listening to this. I hope I can find her other books on audible. Looking forward to her next book. BOORING....Credit back please? Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Kramers performances? Would not be happy to see him as a narrator on another book I was interested in. Voice is very husky and sounds like he has smoked way too many cigarettes. Any additional comments? Really didn't do the victim any justice. Author made the life of the cat more interesting than the characters in this mess-terpiece. VER GOOD ENTERTAINING BOOK Would you consider the audio edition of Disposable Income to be better than the print version? NEVER READ THE WRITTEN BOOK What does Michael Kramer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? VERY WELL READ Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? TRUE CRIME HAS NOT TIDBITS. Any additional comments?

Members Reviews: These are awful crimes This book features ten serial killers who committed horrible, vicious murders. Most of them true crime fans will recognize, but the itemized list of their murders is sickening. If you're even slightly wimpy, skip this book. When you hear a serial killer's name, your brain says, "Oh, that's the _____ Killer." Well, not with the Zodiac Killer, of course, because we don't know his name. But those tags, usually supplied by the media, are more familiar to us than the killer's name, such as the Green River Killer or the BTK Killer. True crime buffs will find this book interesting reading. No photos. Needed more to be considered In Depth I read the Kindle the version of this book and basically my rating comes down to pros and cons of the book. Pros: Most of the killers I had not ever heard of and was astounded by their evilness. Cons: I finished the book and looked down and was only  way through the Kindle version â the rest of the Kindle book was a sample of other books. I felt ripped off by this. I also found each chapter jumped timelines too much and felt disorganized. The author should have slowed the book down and spent more time on each killer with a timeline that flowed consistently throughout each chapter. Based on the proclivity of the killers, there is more than enough information to have fleshed the chapters out. Worth reading facts are there I love true crime books this was worth reading. I have read about some of these crimes prior due to my own curious nature. It helped me weather Hurricane Harvey and that is saying something. More than just a Documentary I like reading non-fiction but many times the reading can be quite dull. Serial Killers True Crime reads more like a novel and sets a pace that keeps your interest till the end. Interesting synopsis of serial killers in. The author succinctly describes the murderers in detail and their heinous crimes. The book is disturbing and grisly. Yet the author has way with words. Good writing and home doesn't drag out his work as other crime writer's, such as Anne Rule.

Members Reviews: Makes Me Want to Hear the Other Side this story is full of legal terms and a myriad of different names. It is difficult to keep track of all of them. The writer makes every effort to make himself and his father seem like the purest of the pure. he works so hard to make them seem flawless that it turned me against them a little bit. He uses words like "tax and spend" liberal to describe one of the Senators and he refers to a situation where doors had to be locked to keep the Eskimos from bothering people. I did not find him likeable and would really like to hear the other side of the story. Fascinating story! If you could sum up Wildcatters in three words, what would they be? Amazing this happened! Which character ??? as performed by Scott Pollak ??? was your favorite? The narrator's performace was wonderful. I can't imagine having to keep that many characters in my head and keeping track of all of them while telling the story. Brilliant! If you could give Wildcatters a new subtitle, what would it be? How corruption in our government can take anyone down Any additional comments? This is clearly an interesting read, I think I will buy the book so that I can flip back and remember who is who. There are many characters and trying to keep up with them all in an audio book was difficult. However, the story is great and the fact that something that immoral and corrupt can happen to such an innocent family by our own government is appalling! That tells me nobody is safe. Just lie low and stay under the radar and never say never. Bad things CAN and DO happen to truly good, smart, hard working, outstanding people. Makes no difference if you keep your nose clean or play by the rules. Very informative and quite an eye-opener! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Cold-Cases-True-Crime-Audiobook/B072C56P9V Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Cold Cases: True Crime Subtitle: True Murder Stories and Accounts of Incredible Murder Mysteries from the Last Century Author: Brody Clayton Narrator: Lynn Longseth Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-05-17 Publisher: Brody Clayton Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Imagine if you had to wait decades for a crime to be solved. When the murderers are already dead and when the victim's loved ones have already lost so much, will there still be satisfaction? For the police, cold cases could be considered failures, but for the families left by the victims, it's heartbreaking. They have to live their lives day in and day out knowing that something didn't add up. The cases in this book still perplex the minds of not just the police and the families, but also those who are familiar with the events. One example: Unsolved Mysteries, a famous show which started airing in 1987, continues to feature many stories of unsolved cases from missing persons, murders, and wanted fugitives, to paranormal phenomena. Each episode, featuring four to five real-life cases, is aimed on publicizing the stories so that witnesses could come forward and report what they knew. With the show's success and good intentions, it was only natural for the crew and staff to receive letters of admiration and gratitude. However, in December 1993, Unsolved Mysteries received a strange postcard. The letter from an anonymous person went like this: "Forget Circleville, Ohio. If you come to Ohio, you el sickos will pay." In the end, it was signed, "The Circleville Writer". Despite the warning, the letter only seemed to have fueled the interest of Unsolved Mysteries, so they dug into what was really in Circleville and found out more than what they bargained for.

Here is a preview of what you'll learn.... Members Reviews: Too Much Blood for Me My problem with this book is that I am a former CSI. I have seen too many murders and cleared too many cases. I'm now 72 and I've been away from murder for a long time. I downloaded several books about murder cases and found them depressing. I'm sure that people who haven't seen as many murders as I have would find this book fascinating. The first murder I saw, two days after I became a cop, was the stabbing death of a young mother. It did not become a cold case; her husband was found two blocks away sitting on the curb crying. Her baby was crying in the room where the mother lay, and everybody was afraid to go into the room to get him. I handed him across the floor to his grandmother. The young mother had bled dry; the knife, a short blade of a pocket knife, had hit her breastbone, corkscrewed, and gone straight into her heart. She bled dry. You cannot imagine how much blood was on the floor. That was my introduction to murder. This book brought those memories back. I'd rather not remember. That is my own reaction, not a comment on the book's quality. Good read Really good, fast read. Variousâ stories, from all over the World. The lack of conscience, shows here. These were savage killings. Great book Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Many cases that I haven't heard of. Will read more of your books in the future. Super short but good I wish it was longer! I enjoyed it very much. I wanted more though. Only about an hour or so. Great for a quick read. excellent reading. excellent https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Killer-Babe-Audiobook/B06XTYH51P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The controversy surrounding the case centered around the relationship of Brittany and Towery prior to the killing. Brittany argued that Towery was a client who went into a rage when he found drugs on her person. He attacked her and she retaliated in self-defense.

Members Reviews: Narrator sounds like he's trying not to laugh Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator has a distinctive voice and he's loud enough, but he doesn't give me the idea his mind is on the somberness of the story. This is a very superficial account of the condemned murderer Brittany Holberg. The "babe" part comes from her attractiveness and the fact that she made an appearance of sorts in Maxim magazine. Apart from being pretty, not much else is compelling about this young woman who got a bad start in life and made choices that kept life bad for her by early adulthood. No in-depth look at what drove her psychologically to get involved with the seedier side of life instead of seeking out environments where people would respond to her as a person who deserved respect. Short book...low price...You get what you pay for, I guess. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The Brittany Holberg story is sordid and sad. She was preyed upon at an early age and the betrayals only increased as she grew up. Lacking the strength it would take to treat others better than she was treated, she decided to victimize and exploit others. She lived the life of a prostitute and drug user. Eventually, she met the elderly man who would die at her hands. Though I am against the death penalty, I have to say that even if I were not, I would have a hard time seeing her as a likely candidate to get a death sentence for any reason except poor defense counsel. She was a drug addicted prostitute when she committed her crime. And at this point, this crime and sentence is about twenty years old. Sorry, but killing her at this point is just barbaric and a complete waste of time. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Richard L Palmer? I don't really keep track of narrator names. I'm sure Mr. Palmer is very good at other narration gigs, but I am not sure that true crime is his thing. Do you think Killer Babe needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Not really a follow-up book, but I would like to know what eventually happens to Ms. Holberg. She might not be someone I would want to know as a person, but I think that killing her now is straight up inhumane. Any additional comments? Just with the idea of the death penalty in general...if it takes twenty years to carry out....that is a pretty good indication that it just shouldn't have been the sentence handed down. Twenty years...the lesson is GONE. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Legacy-of-Deception-Audiobook/B002UZYQA8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A rare experience Where does Legacy of Deception rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? At the top Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. Too much deep information. Any additional comments? It is the rare book that can make me change a long-held opinion. But I am definitely re-thinking the OJ case. He's a creepy person, but he was and continues to be prosecuted by the media. Stephen Singular is a superb journalist, and I'm glad that I listened to the Audible version rather than reading the book. His voice really adds to the experience. Surprisingly good. I listened to this all the way through in 1 day. It is very interesting. I want to interject thought since the thought of Rodney King was interjected by the author. Before Rodney King's trial, there was a young girl who was going to buy something in a Korean store. She got angry, put the item on the counter, turned and walked away and was shot in the back. The Korean lady was acquitted. So it was not that Mr. King did not get justice, it was the culmination of injustices in cases that seemed to be slam dunks, but turned out to be jaw dropping miscarriages of justice. Thus, my favorite person in the book is the informer. Excellent. a decent listen to the author/narrator tells a fantastic tale that unwinds itself and leaves you wanting more.this book has been well researched and is easy to follow.The media tells one story but the author goes beyond the narrative that media was trying to sell to the gullible. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Missing-Beaumont-Children-Audiobook/B071WDDQ6X Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Well written. But too brief. Gave just a snippet of each person related to this situation/case. So be warned this is just an abridged, "cliff's notes version" of what would be a more detailed book. Sad story..no resolution Interesting story of the disappearance of 3 children inAustralia. The author has listed possible suspects..however, none were proven to have been involved. Just my opinion So sad that there's no ending Wanted more Would loved to have been able to learn more about the children, the parents, and the possible murderer. Very well written just would have liked to learned more. Prayers for the family My heart ached for the children and parents while reading this.

Members Reviews: Fantastic! Mr. Overton's work is a real tour-de-force! It is very well researched and extremely accessible and easy to read. Mr Overton takes us on a tour of the world of the gun. Firstly, we see the pain of those wounded or extinguished by them, to the hospitals that have learnt so much from the gashes, exit wounds and shrapnel they so suddenly inflict on the human body. We observe the power that firearms give people, to defend themselves and their loved ones in a failing state or the deadly presence that a gun can give a criminal and the necessary power that peacekeepers have to wield. We're also taught about the pleasure that guns can bring, I personally know the satisfaction of scoring a V-Bull at 500 yards, do I have a right to that? In the chapter labeled 'Sex Pistols' the reader sees the sex appeal that guns undeniably have, another example of the curious link between sexuality and mortality. Finally we meet (or don't) those who make their living from firearms; going from the largest manufacturers and distributors in the world to small mom-and-pop outfits in the United States. Overall, Gun Baby Gun is an engaging, educational and, honestly, essential read for anyone with even a passing interest in world affairs. I am sure it will be very controversial. Fantastic, frightening book Frightening, full of tension, occasionally absurd - the journeys Overton goes on to illustrate facts about guns and all they do are quite remarkable. Each chapter reads like a fictional thriller - but all this is true. On his adventures around the world, , Overton meets dozens of people whose lives have been profoundly affected by guns; adding context and statistics his book becomes the most compelling - and readable - portrait of the gun imaginable. Highly recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in man's most powerful and destructive weapon. The real world of guns At last, a ripping yarn. Most gun books are boring, but Iain Overtonâs âGun Baby Gunâ is a page-turner, ironically more deeply researched than most. Heâs found facts to surprise us all, laced together in a single absorbing read. The best-ever global overview of guns and their effects? This is the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Her-Lovers-Wife-Audiobook/B00T576T6I Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Charming Drifter Author: Brian Lee Tucker Narrator: 411 Audio, J.M. Kuczynski Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 12-14-16 Publisher: Brian Lee Tucker Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Rape, sodomy, strangulation, stabbing, murder, and dismemberment. So were some of Joel David Rifkin's favorite "hobbies" that he inflicted on mostly drug addicted or alcoholic prostitutes from 1988 to 1993. Police finally caught up to Rifkin on June 28, 1993, when state troopers spotted him driving his pickup truck without license plates on the Southern State Parkway. A high-speed chase ended in Mineola, New York, when he crashed into a utility pole directly in front of the courthouse where he eventually stood trial. Troopers detected a foul odor from the back of the truck. It came from the corpse of his final victim: prostitute and dancer Tiffany Bresciani, 22. A peek inside the tarp revealed the woman's decomposing body. Motorist Joel Rifkin, now in handcuffs, helped identify the corpse as 22-year-old Tiffany Bresciani. She was a prostitute, he told the officers. I had sex with her, and then I killed her. He was on his way to dump the body near Republic Airport, he explained, when he was spotted by Ruane and Spaargaren. The case was open-and-shut...but it was far from simple. In custody, Rifkin soon began confessing to other homicides, a total of 17, including Bresciani.

So were some of Joel David Rifkin's favorite "hobbies" that he inflicted on mostly drug addicted or alcoholic prostitutes from 1988 to 1993. Police finally caught up to Rifkin on June 28, 1993, when state troopers spotted him driving his pickup truck without license plates on the Southern State Parkway. A high-speed chase ended in Mineola, New York, when he crashed into a utility pole directly in front of the courthouse where he eventually stood trial. Troopers detected a foul odor from the back of the truck. It came from the corpse of his final victim: prostitute and dancer Tiffany Bresciani, 22. A peek inside the tarp revealed the woman's decomposing body. Motorist Joel Rifkin, now in handcuffs, helped identify the corpse as 22-year-old Tiffany Bresciani. She was a prostitute, he told the officers. I had sex with her, and then I killed her. He was on his way to dump the body near Republic Airport, he explained, when he was spotted by Ruane and Spaargaren. The case was open-and-shut...but it was far from simple. In custody, Rifkin soon began confessing to other homicides, a total of 17, including Bresciani.

I am a big true crime fan and this is not true crime. It is someone going into graphic, long, drawn out details of rape and sex with little in between.

Members Reviews: especially the nice, friendly 6 chapters cover 6 serial killers. Why are we so fascinated? I don't know but this author covers his subjects well enough to shock and frighten. It's a mix--an elderly Spanish witch, a mentally challenged black man, an Austrian journalist, gay-phobic gang, and others. This is Vol 3 of a series, so don't miss the others. This week I saw the story of Jack Unterweggar on Forensic Files tv and they had not mentioned Jack had been in prison, where he learned to write and became a cause celebre who was released due to the clamor. He then became a journalist--and serial killer--right around the time I was in Graz. It does make you look askance at people you meet, especially the nice, friendly, helpful ones... OK read, plus bonus stories This was ok. I read a couple of stories. Then read another book. Picked it up again & finished it. Did not keep my attention for a complete read at one time. It was okay The cases themselves were interesting enough. Most were fairly well known. There were some huge chunks of facts missing that would have made the stories clearer. The grammar and use of odd wording made me wonder if this was translated from another language. It was quite irritating at times. Two Stars too brief How did some of these criminals survive as long as they did? I would rate this at 3.5 if I could; the problem is the topic roofless serial killers. I did not notice any misspellings, poorly constructed sentences, and poor editing. I think the author did a very good job with a difficult subject. The stories are almost incredible because they demonstrate the inadequacy of some police departments detective work or the cunning of some of the serial killers. I will definitely read other books by this author. I believe the stories should be read by anyone interested in true crimes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Past-Is-Never-Dead-Audiobook/B0149M3KS8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Past Is Never Dead Subtitle: The Trial of James Ford Seale and Mississippi's Struggle for Redemption Author: Harry N. MacLean Narrator: Lee David Foreman Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 08-21-15 Publisher: harry n. maclean Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: On May 2, 1964, Klansman James Ford Seale picked up two black hitchhikers and drowned the young men in the Mississippi River. Seale spent more than 40 years a free man, before finally facing trial in 2007. But there could have been two defendants in the resulting case: James Ford Seale for kidnapping and murder, and the State of Mississippi for complicity - knowingly aiding, abetting, and creating men like Seale. In The Past is Never Dead, Edgar Award-winning author Harry MacLean follows Seale's trial, the legal difficulties of prosecuting kidnapping and murder charges decades later, and the strain on a state contending with a past that cannot be forgiven. MacLean's narrative is the account of a gripping legal battle and an acute meditation on the possibility of redemption. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Harry N.

Members Reviews: Mississippi's Attempt at Atonement On a steamy May Saturday in 1964,two young black men, still very much alive, were chained to engine blocks and heaved over the side of a boat into a tributary of the Mississippi River. Just outsife Meadeville, Misss. Harry N. MacLean's compelling new book about the trial of James Ford Seale, the Klan member finally being tried for the crimes, tells the sordid tale of the Klan run wild in rural Mississippi in the '50s and '60s and their many well-known murders, some made famous on film. But McLean, who spent weeks in the courtroom talking with the observers and trial participants, also believes that by the state's revisiting the decades old crime, Mississippi is hoping to atone for those sins. A lawyer himself, and author of the best-selling true crime novel "In Broad Daylight", gives poignant descriptions of the trial victims and their survivors, the now very old and very ill defendant, his mostly absent family, the top-of-the-line attorneys and those who have just come to watch and listen and comment. But he also takes us across the state to towns from the Gulf Coast to the piney hills and even to the Ole Miss vs. LSU football game to help us understand the perceptions of the the state's past and present of today's Mississipians. Forget "Mississippi Burning" The past isn't always about honor and glory - often it's about shame and violence. It's hard to read about the awful things that happened in the "south" in the 60's during the civil rights conflict but since this is a vital part of our countries history we need to remember those troubled times. A time when the Ku klux klan fought civil rights by intimidations, beatings, burnings and grizzly murders. "The Past Is Never Dead" is an important book especially since the "Past" isn't dead and Mississippi seems to be taking most of the blame for the violence. Take another look at Mississippi as it seeks redemption. Read MacLean's book as he covers the James Ford Seale Trial and his look into what Mississippians are doing to redeem themselves and their State from old stereotypes. Sit in on the drama of the trial of Mr. Seale for the burtal murders of Charles Moore and Henry Dee some 43 years after the fact. Jury selection begins May 4, 2007 both jury selection and the main act of the trial are fascinating. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Little-Demon-in-the-City-of-Light-Audiobook/B00I2R0BSE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Little Demon in the City of Light Subtitle: A True Story of Murder and Mesmerism in Belle Epoque Paris Author: Steven Levingston Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 02-25-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: A delicious account of a murder most gallic - think CSI Paris meets Georges Simenon - whose lurid comibation of sex, brutality, forensics, and hypnotism riveted first a nation and then the world. Little Demon in the City of Light is the thrilling - and so wonderfully French - story of a gruesome 1889 murder of a lascivious court official at the hands of a ruthless con man and his pliant mistress and the international manhunt, sensational trial, and an inquiry into the limits of hypnotic power that ensued. In France at the end of the 19th century a great debate raged over the question of whether someone could be hypnotically compelled to commit a crime in violation of his or her moral convictions. When Toussaint-Augustin Gouffé entered 3, rue Tronson du Coudray, he expected nothing but a delightful assignation with the comely young Gabrielle Bompard. Instead, he was murdered - hanged! - by her and her companion Michel Eyraud. The body was then stuffed in a trunk and dumped on a riverbank near Lyon. As the inquiry into the guilt or innocence of the woman the French tabloids dubbed the "Little Demon" escalated, the most respected minds in France debated whether Gabrielle Bompard was the pawn of her mesmerizing lover or simply a coldly calculating murderess. And, at the burning center of it all: Could hypnosis force people to commit crimes against their will? Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, February 2014 - Fans of Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City will love Little Demon, which also examines a sensational crime set in a major city during a glamorous period of history. In late 19th century Paris, hypnotism spread like wildfire through the clinics and drawing rooms of fashionable Europe and North America; part parlor game, part pure charlatanism, and part science. This is the setting of a gruesome murder committed by con man Michel Eyraud, and his mistress Gabrielle Bompard (the woman who would become as "Little Demon"). The incredible facts of the case, the extended manhunt, and the dramatic courtroom scenes, and a head-line grabbing defense of "hypnotism", need no embellishment from the true story. Was Gabrielle in fact hypnotized by her lover, as she claimed, during the commission of the murder? If so, to what extent did that erode her free will and affect her complicity? This was a fascinating read, and renowned narrator John Lee is sure to add the perfect voice to a riveting story of murder and mesmerism that paints a lavish portrait of Belle Époque Paris. Critic Reviews: "This is an amazing tale of sex and hypnosis and murder in Paris, and its all true. Levingston has produced both a mesmerizing crime story and also a fascinating look at science and society in the late 19th century."

Title: Serial Killers True Crime Subtitle: Incredible True Stories of Psychopathic Serial Killers From the Last 200 Years Author: Brody Clayton Narrator: Dave Wright Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-17 Publisher: Brody Clayton Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: Every single person is unique; with different wants, needs, likes, dislikes and hates. Serial killers, however, have one thing in common, they kill, for diverse reasons and for various outcomes. Their ability to take lives easily, though, is mind-boggling. Some of them kill one or two but some also kill hundreds. It is somehow hard to fathom how these killers can do such gruesome deeds and to dig deeper into their stories can certainly be thought-provoking. The mentality of serial killers throughout the world's history is something that will always be a curious mystery. What motivates them to kill, is something that we cannot easily understand. Some have rather simplistic, and even personal, reasons for killing: jealousy, self-inadequacy, self-confirmation, attention, self-gain, and revenge. Some take lives in order to take vengeance on the government and even include solving societal problems as their main goal. Psychopaths of this type usually like playing the role of a supreme being who aims to eliminate people that they consider not worthy to live. From the premier poisoners and virgin murderers to baby killers and mysterious point-blank gunmen, this book offers a rich history of serial killers that will keep you on the edge of your seat. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Brody Clayton) Mon, 08 May 2017 06:44:24 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Serial-Killers-True-Crime-Audiobook/B071DXQN1D thebookvoice.com 01:36:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Some interesting true crime stories I enjoyed reading the true crime cases in this book. Some of them are from earlier times, and it was somewhat shocking to learn of the short prison terms given for multiple murder victims. Life was truly valued cheaply. 25 Good book! I would recommend this book to people ... Good book! I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading about true crime. I did find a few typographical errors i.e. 1895 was listed as 1985 in the last story. Good book. Serial killer buffs ,welcome here. I enjoyed this book , I have read most of these killers before but there is always a new take on them. Serial Killers True Crime Great read! Wouldn't use for fact finding The errors are huge in this book. Chapter 6 has many errors. First one being at the start of the chapter when they say in the late 1900's when in fact the crimes took place in the 1800's. They also say she was tried in 1985. That would be more than 100 years after the crimes. Hope no one uses this to right a school report. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/September-Sacrifice-Audiobook/B00UMDC0YE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

That's what Albuquerque, New Mexico, bank teller Girly Chew, 36, told her boss. The Malaysian-born beauty lived in mortal fear of her pathologically deranged husband and had taken out a restraining order against him. She was late for work for the first - and last - time on September 10, 1999. Her bloodstained clothes were found near a lonely stretch of desert highway. Chew's estranged spouse was an unrepentant scam artist with a terrifying violent streak. Born Armando Chavez, Jr., in Texas, he changed his name to Diazien Hossencofft and said he was from Switzerland. Claiming to be a surgeon and DNA expert with an antiaging formula, he conned a woman dying of cancer out of nearly a half million dollars. While married, he conducted numerous affairs - even managing to wrangle sole custody of the infant son he fathered with one of his mistresses. Nursing a sick obsession with his wife while exerting Manson-like control over his girlfriend/accomplice, UFO fanatic Linda Henning, 47, Hossencofft set the stage for Girly Chew's murder and followed through on his plan with sadistic enthusiasm. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mark Horner) Fri, 13 Mar 2015 00:53:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/September-Sacrifice-Audiobook/B00UMDC0YE thebookvoice.com 10:30:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: pretty good good story .... but narrator was a lil different at first .. but all in all pretty good... Confusing This is a very confusing case...author made it more confusing by jumping from one subject to another & introducing new characters without explaining their connection!

Title: La Constantin Subtitle: Celebrated Crimes, Book 9 Author: Alexandre Dumas père Narrator: Robert Bethune Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 12-09-14 Publisher: Freshwater Seas Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime 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 ninth of the series, Dumas uses the lives of two women, Angelique-Louise de Guerchi and Josephine-Charlotte Boullenois, and the men who, to put it bluntly, control their lives. Most of the audiobook is taken up with the doings and duels of those men, which ultimately lead to the untimely deaths of the two women. The agent of those deaths, the widow and midwife La Constantin, hardly appears in the story at all! The place is Paris; the time is the period of civil war in France known as the Fronde. It is a time when power has fragmented; even a noble can find himself in the power of a commoner, and justice is a rare commodity. Dumas himself warns us not to seek the records of these cases, for this was not an age much concerned with the lives of more or less ordinary people; the great had bigger fish to fry. He lays no great stress upon it, but there is a very clear indictment of the society of that time, and a very clear portrait of the helplessness of women of the day.

Hussain Zaidi is all set to woo listeners with his new book, Byculla to Bangkok. Its captivating plot revolves around the reality behind the lives of Mumbai gangsters and how they became that way. This book trails the rather innocent childhoods of criminals like Chota Rajan, Arun Gawli, Ashwin Naik, and many more, who were popular Mafia leaders of the Mumbai underworld. How their callow and ingenuous minds were subjected to crime and violence, so much that it became part of their identities, is very effectively captured in this narration. Inhumanity and deception are prevalently portrayed in the book, showing why these lads became vengeful. The story describes the means by which they grew into a family of organized criminals, powerful enough to hold an entire city under bribery and extortion. The contrast between their simple beginnings and later lives of atrocities makes Byculla to Bangkok a compelling listen. Being the business capital of India, Mumbai is a relatively perfect setting for violence and transgressions to take place. The author makes good use of this fact to present an intense account of the kind of lives one does not generally hear about. Expressing the subjugation of juvenile minds with a fierce sense of realism, he manages to answer a lot of questions about the reasons why one decides to live a life of crime. biacuaduc@gmail.com (S Hussain Zaidi) Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:45:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Byculla-to-Bangkok-Audiobook/B011DHAIHS thebookvoice.com 09:57:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Coming after Dongri to Dubai I expected much more from ... Coming after Dongri to Dubai I expected much more from this book. Though I understand the overlapping of stories and the incidents as the narrative is of mostly the Mumbai mafia. But the structure is haphazard and all over the place. The story doesn't quite flow in a manner that keeps a reader hooked. May be it is just me but I got to know more about Arun Gawli and Ashwin Naik from Mumbai mafia but very little abt Chhota Rajan on whose subject the book is based on. Overall a very laboured effort which doesn't quite do justice to the subject. For any successful don there needs a good naration. Its a thrilling story of Mumbai mafia minus dawood. This one is more about the role of gawlis, nayaks and rajan. Its different from its predecessor, Dongri to Dubai. Those who love reading historical facts and dont mind reading non fiction are apt readers. usually non fictions tend to be boring but zaidi has such a charm that he makes non fiction as more thrilling than fictions. The depiction is so real that you can actually feel dagdi chawl. ... authoritative on Bombay and its underworld lords than this brilliant account of Hussain Zaidi There can not be anyting more authoritative on Bombay and its underworld lords than this brilliant account of Hussain Zaidi. A reliable source to understand the mechanization of the most dreaded mafiasos of India. Both Bycula to Bangkog and Dongri to Dubai are my all time favorite on the city I love and dread. Outstanding Syed Hussain Zaidi's well researched work brings alive the narrative . A great reading for those interested in getting to know how the Mumbai gang land got shaped.... Good read. May be a graphical representation of who was there in which gang would have helped. That's because narration keeps go Good read. May be a graphical representation of who was there in which gang would have helped. That's because narration keeps going back and forth.

Title: The Paradiso Files Subtitle: On the Trail of Boston's Unknown Serial Killer Author: Timothy M. Burke Narrator: Wyntner Woody Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-12 Publisher: steerforth press l.l.c. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In this bold and suspenseful true-crime story, former homicide prosecutor Timothy M. Burke makes his case against one Leonard Paradiso. Lenny 'The Quahog' was convicted of assaulting one young woman and paroled after three years, but Burke believes that he was guilty of much more - that Paradiso was a serial killer who operated in the Boston area, and maybe farther afield, for nearly 15 years, assaulting countless young women and responsible for the deaths of as many as seven. Burke takes the reader inside the minds of prosecutors, police investigators, and one very dangerous man who thought he had figured out how to rape and murder and get away with it. The Paradiso Files generated headlines when first published in February 2008. Nine days later, Paradiso died at the age of 65 without commenting on any of Burke's accusations, including that he murdered Joan Webster, a Harvard graduate student who disappeared from Logan Airport in 1981. Boston-area prosecutors announced in September 2008 that Burke's revelations had led them to reopen the unsolved murder cases of three young women - Melodie Stankiewicz, Holly Davidson, and Kathy Williams. There were too many similarities between the individual cases to ignore, a prosecutor involved in the new investigation said. Burke's account leaves little doubt that Paradiso's deeds should go down in infamy, alongside those of the Boston Strangler. Critic Reviews: "The criminal exploits of Boston's most notorious psychopath, fugitive gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, have been well chronicled. Now Timothy M. Burke exposes another sadistic figure who prowled Boston's streets for unsuspecting victims back when Whitey was still the man: Leonard "The Quahog" Paradiso. . . . In a suspenseful account offered by the former prosecutor who sent Paradiso to prison for the 1979 slaying of Marie Ianuzzi, Burke builds a convincing case that the Revere fish peddler was a cunning sexual predator who got away with many more slayings. . . Burke tells a compelling story, with chilling accounts of Paradiso's crimes gleaned from victims' accounts and evidence that never made it to court. . . The story transcends Boston with an insider's view of the criminal justice system. . . It's a good read. And Burke, who led the State Police investigation into Bulger during the 1980s, even manages to slip in a few observations about him" (Boston Globe) "Burkes colorful and creepy debut takes a Grisham-esque ride through both the legal system and the mind of a killer...

Title: The Paradiso Files Subtitle: On the Trail of Boston's Unknown Serial Killer Author: Timothy M. Burke Narrator: Wyntner Woody Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-12 Publisher: steerforth press l.l.c. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: In this bold and suspenseful true-crime story, former homicide prosecutor Timothy M. Burke makes his case against one Leonard Paradiso. Lenny 'The Quahog' was convicted of assaulting one young woman and paroled after three years, but Burke believes that he was guilty of much more - that Paradiso was a serial killer who operated in the Boston area, and maybe farther afield, for nearly 15 years, assaulting countless young women and responsible for the deaths of as many as seven. Burke takes the reader inside the minds of prosecutors, police investigators, and one very dangerous man who thought he had figured out how to rape and murder and get away with it. The Paradiso Files generated headlines when first published in February 2008. Nine days later, Paradiso died at the age of 65 without commenting on any of Burke's accusations, including that he murdered Joan Webster, a Harvard graduate student who disappeared from Logan Airport in 1981. Boston-area prosecutors announced in September 2008 that Burke's revelations had led them to reopen the unsolved murder cases of three young women - Melodie Stankiewicz, Holly Davidson, and Kathy Williams. There were too many similarities between the individual cases to ignore, a prosecutor involved in the new investigation said. Burke's account leaves little doubt that Paradiso's deeds should go down in infamy, alongside those of the Boston Strangler. Critic Reviews: "The criminal exploits of Boston's most notorious psychopath, fugitive gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, have been well chronicled. Now Timothy M. Burke exposes another sadistic figure who prowled Boston's streets for unsuspecting victims back when Whitey was still the man: Leonard "The Quahog" Paradiso. . . . In a suspenseful account offered by the former prosecutor who sent Paradiso to prison for the 1979 slaying of Marie Ianuzzi, Burke builds a convincing case that the Revere fish peddler was a cunning sexual predator who got away with many more slayings. . . Burke tells a compelling story, with chilling accounts of Paradiso's crimes gleaned from victims' accounts and evidence that never made it to court. . . The story transcends Boston with an insider's view of the criminal justice system. . . It's a good read. And Burke, who led the State Police investigation into Bulger during the 1980s, even manages to slip in a few observations about him" (Boston Globe) "Burkes colorful and creepy debut takes a Grisham-esque ride through both the legal system and the mind of a killer... This deserves mention alongside Vincent Bugliosis Helter Skelter (1974) and Robert Graysmiths Zodiac (1986) as a stellar exploration of the soul of a mass murderer."

(Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Detailed Explanation of How a Prosecutor Proceeds Would you consider the audio edition of The Paradiso Files to be better than the print version? No. I bought this book on Whispersync and read it in both formats. Frankly I found Mr. Woody's use of cartoon voices annoying. He's very good at them but this is not a funny book. Making the author of the book who was also the prosecutor in the case sound like Casper the Friendly Ghost was I thought way over the top. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Oswald-Audiobook/B00DN98TGM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Oswald Subtitle: Assassin or Fall Guy? Author: Mr. Joachim Joesten Narrator: Dave Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-13 Publisher: Iconoclassic Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: German born Joachim Joesten, who worked for Newsweek magazine before becoming a freelance writer in 1944, published Oswald, Assassin or Fall Guy? in 1964, prior to the release of the Warren Report. Surprisingly, at that early date, the foundation of doubt that would pervade the assassination research community for the next 50 years and beyond, was already well in place. Like other early authors who questioned the official Government verdict, Joesten had to have this book published outside the United States. Through special arrangement with his heirs, Iconoclassic Books is proud to present this reissue of the first important treatise on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Also included is Joesten's 50 page summary of the Warren Report, which he examined upon its release in September 1964. A "fall guy", in American underworld slang, is a person selected by a criminal gang to be framed up as the guilty one, in order to shield the real perpetrators of a crime. This is Joesten's thesis about Oswald. Most of the book is devoted to a systematic development of the evidence. A number of the points are sufficiently powerful to singly cast grave doubt on the official version; and in their cumulative impact to provide a serious basis for Joesten's conclusion. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mr. Joachim Joesten) Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:32:29 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Oswald-Audiobook/B00DN98TGM thebookvoice.com 09:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Superb 1964 republished JFK assassination book. This really is quite a remarkable book which prior to its re publication and subsequent very surprising release by Iconoclassic Books I had only barely heard about. The great strength and joy of this book is its wealth of contemporary information and press opinion from 1963 prior to the contamination of the assassination story by 50 years of laid over evidential manure and endless conspiracy theories. Mr Joesten was a fine investigative journalist who diligently did his job unlike the vast majority of the rest of the controlled US mainstream media who simply went along with the Warren Commission. Just like Accessories After the Fact by Sylvia Meagher this is a classic must read JFK book that despite its very early 1964 publication has stood the test of time very well. I can only hope that Iconoclassic Books re publish another classic and rare Joesten book from 1968 called - How Kennedy Was Killed: the Full Appalling Story. Finally I must say that this this Audible book has been superbly narrated by Mr Dave Clark. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Serial-Killers-Audiobook/B075JPSM6H Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/757/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A good look at serial killings Intriguing book that kept me from putting it down. The stories are short and kept my attention right up to the last. Something everyone should read who enjoys true crime. I recommend it for that reason One of the worst books I've ever read I cant even express how bad this book was. It was so poorly written that I cant see how Amazon can justify charging anything for it. The writing was so elementary, lacked any insight and took all of 1 hour to read the whole thing. Do not waste your money even if it is only a few dollars. Not worth it at all. Not impressed Interesting stories but horrendously written. It was as if I was reading multiple stories written by a teenager that barely passed English class. Grammar, spelling and sentence structure made it difficult to read. I could only make it to halfway through before I was too annoyed to continue. Serial killers I'm not sure how to even review this book except to say it was a fast read and I found myself wondering several times how old the author is. This book read more like a middle/high school theme report mixed with occasional graphic adult descriptions. hard to read felt the facts were all overcame is 90was tellingmeztory I fur this book was not written in a manner of good reseArch infallible stormy 90year old mother would tell .His subjects are not well known ,I personal at masturbation
