About this listen

Best-selling author, cohost of the hit podcast The Murder Squad, and true-crime investigative journalist Billy Jensen goes to Columbus, Ohio, where he examines the unsolved cases of 18 dead and missing women whom he suspects were the victims of serial killers on the loose and operating under cover of the opioid epidemic in America's heartland.

In Chase Darkness with Me, listeners learned Billy Jensen's journalist origin story, his struggles, his call to adventure, and his first successes in solving murders.

In Killers Amidst Killers, listeners will ride shotgun with Jensen as he takes on serial killers who are walking among us and planning their next moves in real time. The facts are not in old police reports and faded photos. They unfold before our ears.

Our story begins in 2017, when two young women, best friends Danielle and Lindsey, go missing within weeks of each other, and their bodies are found soon thereafter.

As Jensen investigates Danielle and Lindsey's cases, he comes across other missing and murdered women, and before long, he uncovers 18 of them. All unsolved. And no one was talking about it.

These are not women who were raised in the street. They got hooked on pills. The pills were taken away. They get hooked on heroin. And when the money was gone, they had to sell themselves. It all happens very quick.

Through his investigations and the help of experts, Jensen identifies serial killers in Cleveland and Columbus. Why there? Because it's easy. Sharks go where the swimmers are. Serial killers go where the easy prey are–ground zero of the opioid epidemic. The heart of America.

Jensen hunts these predators to bring peace to the victims' suffering families while putting a spotlight on a system that is leaving hundreds of thousands of bodies in its wake.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I couldn’t wait for it to finish.

This book could have been a quarter of the length it was. I appreciate the author’s sincere concern for the victims of the opioid epidemic, yet he goes way over the top making his points. Additionally, I realize there are some bad LEOs, but he tries to make them all out to be bad, when many of them are just trying to do their jobs within the many constraints the system places on them.

Captivating. Listened in entirely in one day.

I have followed several of these girls cases and I am not at all surprised by the theory of a serial killer. I believe there are a couple. Must read for Ohioans.

In the Author’s Voice: A Review of ‘Killers Amidst Killers’ by Billy Jensen

So, have you heard about Billy Jensen’s latest dive into true crime, “Killers Amidst Killers”? It’s like he’s taken us right into the heart of Columbus, Ohio, to figure out what happened to Danielle and Lindsey, these two best friends who mysteriously disappeared. It’s wild how he connects their story to the opioid crisis and this pattern of women being targeted, you know?

The way Jensen tells the story, it’s super engaging. He’s not just reading the book; he’s sharing a story, and you can really feel his passion for the subject. It’s almost like sitting down with him and hearing about his investigation firsthand. He’s got this way of making you feel part of the journey, from the dark alleys to the courtrooms.

And the thing is, it’s not just another true crime story. Jensen digs deep into the whole opioid epidemic and how it’s affecting so many lives. It’s crazy to think about the number of women caught up in this, and Jensen doesn’t just tell their stories—he’s also calling out the bigger issues, like how society and the system are failing these people.

He’s spent like five years on this project, and you can tell. There’s so much detail and care put into understanding not just the what, but the why behind these crimes. It’s more than just trying to solve a mystery; it’s about bringing to light the struggles and injustices these women faced.

So, yeah, if you’re into true crime, or even just interested in the social issues around the opioid crisis, this audiobook is definitely worth your time. It’s one of those listens that sticks with you, you know? Plus, Jensen’s storytelling skills are top-notch. It’s like a deep, intense conversation with a friend who just happens to be an expert in true crime.

Couldn’t finish

My mind kept wandering as I listened to lots of details. Maybe it would have been better to read than to listen.

Hits close to home

I live in Ohio and knew there were women missing. I followed the Chillicothe story. But, I had no idea there were so many. The opioid crisis is evident here. Now, after listening to this book, I’m convinced there is a killing crisis as well.

I highly recommend this book as a different take on serial killers and the vulnerable people they prey on.
