À propos de cet audio
Lucie Blackman - tall, blond, 21 years old - stepped out into the vastness of Tokyo in the summer of 2000 and disappeared. The following winter, her dismembered remains were found buried in a seaside cave. The seven months in between had seen a massive search for the missing girl involving Japanese policemen, British private detectives, and Lucie’s desperate but bitterly divided parents. Had Lucie been abducted by a religious cult or snatched by human traffickers? Who was the mysterious man she had gone to meet? And what did her work as a hostess in the notorious Roppongi district of Tokyo really involve?
Richard Lloyd Parry, an award-winning foreign correspondent, followed the case from the beginning. Over the course of a decade, as the rest of the world forgot but the trial dragged on, he traveled to four continents to interview those connected with the story, assiduously followed the court proceedings, and won unique access to the Japanese detectives who investigated the case. Ultimately he earned the respect of the victim’s family and delved deep into the mind and background of the man accused of the crime - Joji Obara, described by the judge as “unprecedented and extremely evil.” The result is a book at once thrilling and revelatory.
Richard Lloyd Parry is the Asia editor and Tokyo bureau chief of the London Times and the author of In the Time of Madness.

In the fall of 1978, teenager Theresa Allore went missing near Sherbrooke, Quebec. She wasn't seen again until the spring thaw revealed her body in a creek only a few kilometers away. Shrugging off her death as a result of 1970s drug culture, police didn't investigate. Patricia Pearson started dating Theresa's brother, John, during the aftermath of Theresa's death. Though the two teens would go their separate ways, the family's grief, obsession with justice, and desire for the truth never left Patricia.

In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for nine dollars an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough and wrote an exposé about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War.

For two thousand years, cadavers have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.

Mind boggling
I’ve been a fan of mystery books for a few years and rarely move to true crime. This was the book that changed that for me. An unbelievable recount of a bizarre yet intimate look at a rape and murder, the victim, her family, her murderer, the culture they both came from and the laws that govern those countries.

Strung out
Good story, although I often found myself skipping over parts that seem more like filler. This book could be condensed into a much more interesting and gripping book, instead the way this book tries to look at every single minor detail of the story makes it a lot more drawn out making me want to skip many parts of it to get to the more important and Interesting parts.

Spectacular True Crime read
Yes, it's overly dramatized at times.. Yes, it includes a lot of extraneous (unnecessary) information.. but this is a great book. Richard Lloyd Parry (Tokyo bureau chief for 'The London Times') meticulously documents a striking Crime involving a sexual psychopath, an embittered/contentious family that won't give up, and an unfamiliar Criminal Justice System. The writing is clear, logical, and well-paced.. and the story is legitimately captivating. A truly talented Editor could have shaved a couple of hours from the book I suppose, but it by no means feels too long.
The narration from Simon Vance is typically exemplary. His cadence, tone, emotiveness, and pacing are unsurpassed. If you have not heard this narrator before, you are in for a genuine treat. I would listen to Vance any day (In fact, I have actually purchased audiobooks just because he was attached to the project).
When an engrossing tale is presented with excellent writing and unparalleled narration, we get a 9.5/10 audiobook. I can highly recommend 'People Who Eat Darkness'.

I couldn’t stop listening. Every chance I got, I was listening to this audiobook. Such a horrific, true story.
