Fantastic!!

Revisado: 05-11-23

I absolutely loved this book. The narration was perfection. And the information was interesting and extremely thorough. I am an avid true crime fan but never really dug into the Delphi case. I was intrigued by the details and occasional theorizing given by the author. I especially enjoyed the moments when Nic gave some history regarding the True Crime Garage and its beginnings. And the bombshell info about The Captain. I had never known they were related. I came away from listening feeling even more connected to Nic and The Captain. It felt like Nic let his guard down a bit and shared a bit of himself in a vulnerable way. I have been a fan of the podcast for awhile now, but after listening to this book I feel even more connected to the show. I also was impressed with the ease of flow of the story telling even though there has not been a resolution to the case. I’m looking forward to another book once the trial is over and more details are known. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a first time author. Sometimes people get a taste of fame and notoriety and think they have a golden touch even in areas they have no business diving into. This is NOT the case with this book. It was well done, interesting and easy to listen to. And this is coming from the queen of shutting off books that bore or annoy me in someway. I was engrossed from the minute Kevin Pierce started talking. I hope to listen to many more books written by Nic and narrated by Kevin. They make a great team. Almost as good as the Garage Guys themselves. 😉

Very interesting story

Revisado: 06-23-22

This was one of those books I got lost in and wish it had lasted longer. The true story was fascinating and it’s incredible how so many of the themes are timeless…the world is still the same today. I had never heard of this shooting until listening to the author on True Crime Garage podcast. I also enjoyed the narration. It was easy to listen to and not distracting at all. I liked the format of the story-broken into chapters being told about different characters. Just all around a great listening experience. Unruh is a fascinating case and I would love to know how he would be diagnosed with today’s advances in the mental health field. I enjoyed this so much that I bought a physical copy to be sent to my mom. I really think she will find this to be as fascinating as I did. Especially since she born in the late 30’s and was alive when this happened. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in true crime but it’s so much more than that even. Definitely worth a credit.

Great listen

Revisado: 08-14-21

This is one of my favorite true crime books that I've listened to. It goes deep into the backstory of Shawcross and several of the victims family members. I'm always more interested in why someone does what they do instead of only the shocking telling of the crimes. And it's heartbreaking but interesting learning how the crimes affected those left behind. It was also fascinating listening to the psychiatric interviews done with Shawcross trying to nail down a diagnosis of his mental condition. I highly recommend this book if you are more interested in the "why" instead of just the "what." I wish more true crime books took this approach.

I can't believe I had never heard of Wayne Nance before. This was a fascinating story and I felt like the timeline of events was very well written out. Easy to listen to and follow. This story will remain with me for quite awhile I bet.

This was a very interesting listen. Nice blend of true crime and historical information on how NecroSearch came into being. I really enjoyed this audio book.

Listened in one night

Revisado: 03-20-21

This was my favorite Audible purchase ever. I started listening after work in Friday night. It is now 2am on Saturday morning. I have never listened to a book straight thru until now. But this was fascinating and impossible to turn off. The author's personal story was as interesting if not more so than the Maura Murray case itself. Do yourself a favor she's listen to this story. You won't regret it. My only regret is that it's over.

Very interesting and touching story

Revisado: 11-13-20

I wasn't sure what to expect with this story but I found myself completely lost in it from the beginning. The interviews felt very genuine and the story was told in a way that was easy to follow. I think there are a lot of lessons to be learned about the aftermath of trauma and the importance of dealing with the emotions instead of stuffing them inside.
