Over a three-decade span, more than 20 women - many teenagers - died mysteriously in the small towns bordering Interstate 45, a 50-mile stretch of highway running from Houston to Galveston. The victims were strangled, shot, or savagely beaten.
The day she vanished, Colette Wilson waited for her mother after band practice. Best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson loved to surf and were last seen hitchhiking. Laura Kate Smither dreamed of becoming a ballerina and disappeared just weeks before her thirteenth birthday.
In this harrowing true crime exposition, award-winning journalist Kathryn Casey tracks these tragic cases, investigates the evidence, interviews the suspects, and pulls back the cloak of secrecy in search of elusive answers.

Would you listen to Deliver Us again? Why?
Probably not. Not because it wasn't a great book, but I really don't usually go back and read/listen to books twice.What other book might you compare Deliver Us to and why?
Not sure.Which scene was your favorite?
The heartbreaking accounts of what the families were going through once their daughters went missing was very well written and researched.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
All of it.Any additional comments?
Ok. So here is my only complaint. Tanya Eby did a great job with the narration, EXCEPT when she would go into a man's voice. No reason to lower your voice like 1/2 an octave. She sounded nothing like a man, and it just became annoying and ridiculous. Just use your normal voice. We know when it's a man talking. It was reaaaallllyyyy annoying!Great book!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
No. This is a great story - lots of detail, names, and dates. In my opinion, some of the details get lost when you listen to it instead of reading it.What other book might you compare Deliver Us to and why?
The Stranger Beside Me has a similar feel - the victims are not nameless, faceless shapes. The author gives us a glimpse into their lives prior to their deaths. The author also helps us understand how their murders affected their families. She helps us to care about everyone involved.How could the performance have been better?
Tanya Eby has an amazing voice - it just isn't right for a story like this. At times, I felt like she hadn't read the story before narrating it. Some of the scenes she is describing are horrific and Eby sounds like she's narrating a Sweet Valley High novel. As far as characterization, that is nearly absent. Each character sounds the same.What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Learning more about these cases was interesting. Probably the most interesting section is the one that focuses on a young man who was (clearly) wrongfully accused of two of the murders by a corrupt police force.Scary True Crime Mystery - Terrible Narration
