About this listen

Warning: This audiobook describes several crime scenes that are graphic in nature and may be very disturbing to some people. Do not proceed if under the age of 18 or are disturbed by scenes of death and violence.

One after another, young women disappeared without a trace in the night. One by one, their brutalized bodies turned up, the macabre crime scenes suggesting they shared the same cruel fate. Abducted, bound, and raped, all fell prey to an unknown killer; all became the victims of a deadly deception.

Difficult to listen to.

The narration is bizarre. I have never heard anybody read this way. The pauses between words are painfully annoying. The story itself is okay but I do not recommend.

It's OK

This is definitely a lower tier of audiobook, so set your expectations low.

There isn't much of a story here, there isn't a lot of build up, there isn't a lot of insight (I don't actually want insight in books on real events as the story should give you insight, but in this case the story didn't do much, and there wasn't anything really extra).

If you're from the Tampa Bay area it's interesting to hear the locations since you might know where everything is happening, but the overall lack of detail or storyline or setting the scene means you don't really get much in terms of extras. Part of the reason you don't get much in terms of extra is the fairly short length which is under 4-hours.

That isn't to say the book has no value. While the book really isn't written with any level of drama, it can still be compelling. But then again the author seems to use some acts, which he goes on and on with in great detail, just comes off as filler or trying to shock the listener by using graphic terms and explaining various acts in detail. I'm not really sure going into great detail on what particular acts were done when you don't really know the victims.

The reader is pretty bad, with bad pacing and zero inflection to his voice, does nothing to help you know who is speaking (good readers with do various accents or dialects to help you track who is speaking). The pacing issues, however, can mostly be fixed by just speeding up the audio. I choose 1.2x speed, which is just fast enough to make the pauses sound a bit more natural.'

Overall I'd give this book like 2.5 stars, but since you can't choose that I'll be generous and round up.

I'd love to see what a real author could do with this story.
