À propos de cet audio
Dig deep into the unsolved murder of Jackie English and join the hunt for a serial killer
Fifty years ago, a serial killer prowled the quiet city of London, Ontario, marking it as his hunting grounds. As young women and boys were abducted, raped, and murdered, residents of the area held their loved ones closer and closer, terrified of the monster - or monsters - stalking the streets. Homicide detective Dennis Alsop began hunting the killer in the 1960s, and he didn’t stop searching until his death 40 years later. For decades, detectives, actual and armchair, and the victims’ families and friends continued to ask questions: Who was the Forest City Killer? Was there more than one person, or did a depraved individual commit all of these crimes on his own?
Combing through the files Detective Alsop left behind, researcher Vanessa Brown reopens the cases, revealing previously unpublished witness statements, details of evidence, and astonishing revelations. And through her investigation, Vanessa posits the unthinkable: is it possible that the Forest City Killer is still alive and, like the notorious Golden State Killer, a simple DNA test could bring him to justice?

In 1967, during the time of peace, free love, and hitchhiking, 19-year-old Mary Terese Fleszar was last seen walking home to her apartment in Ypsilanti, Michigan. One month later, her naked body stabbed over 30 times and missing both feet and a forearm was discovered on an abandoned farm. A year later, the body of 20-year-old Joan Schell was found, similarly violated. Over the next two years, five more bodies of female students were uncovered around the area.

“Until You Are Dead” chronicles the loss of Canada’s innocence. Prior to June 11, 1959, Canadian parents could allow their children to play outdoors, unsupervised, in places children traditionally love: schoolyards, fields and nearby swimming holes. But on that hot summer day, when the body of a twelve-year-old girl turned up in a woody area near Clinton, Ontario, that innocence was shattered.

Worshippers stream out of an Midwestern synagogue after sabbath services, unaware that only a hundred yards away, an expert marksman and avowed racist, antisemite and member of the Ku Klux Klan, patiently awaits, his hunting rifle at the ready. A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the “other" is allowed full reign.

Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion.

Content is fine, Narration is torture
Where is this narrator from?! (I'm guessing NOT Canada)
The deliberate attempt at a stereotypical Canadian accent (with marked pauses before pronouncing "Oot and hoose", for example) made me embarrassed for her. No one would dare read Memoirs of a Geisha whilst dropping all the L's and substituting them for R's! So why is this okay here? ...not to mention the robotic affect.
-- Hoping the author has a rethink at a new narrator
(At the time of this review, I am still on chapter one- debating returning it purely based on narration)

Fascinating look into a disturbing time in London’s past. Somewhat overshadowed by narrator’s sometime robotic voice and mispronunciation of names and name places.

Well organized and written in a way that puts you in that time in history. Very primitive/naive crime and psychological awareness by the authorities back then.

Pronunciation by the Narrator
I am born, raised and still live in Central and Southern Ontario, Canada. I have to say the “abooot” and “hooooouse” pronunciation made me so irritated, I almost could t finish the book. It was so extreme, it seems like it has to be purposeful? I don’t know anyone that actually speaks like that.
Also, as there is a copy and fact checking process for the written book, there should be one again for the pronunciations of geographical names. Huron and Penetanguishene in particular were so butchered, I didn’t even recognize them until context clues. If I recognized those, than I’m sure locals familiar with London, Ontario and the surrounding areas mentioned in the cars heard even more.
Internet sleuths from another country can get away from this as civilians - a la "etta-bih-coke," in a recent Netflix series. But these are glaring mispronunciations in a professional work and it makes it all seem very sloppy. It seems like it should be basic due diligence.
All to say, this really took away from the compelling, and heartbreaking subject matter and that is really the worst part.

Amazing book about my hometowns murders.
Vanessa Brown poured herself into this book. I could imagine all of the locations and felt how much she cares to find a solution. Although I knew most of the cases, some details and opinions were new, and the story was intriguing. Jumping from case/date/location felt awkward at first, but it all wrapped up as best as cold unsolved cases can. I did not appreciate the performance. It felt fake and her accent and place names were not local/colloquial or correct. I wish the author had read it herself.

Very interesting and informative
I’m not sure what the few reviews mentioning the narration being bad, I thought it was good. She does pronounce some “ou”s differently like ‘about’ but it’s barely noticeable and it’s not an act. I’m sure it’s not easy narrating a book and giving voices to a dozen or more people of both genders, different ages, etc. she did so in a way that wasn’t distracting.
The story is very thorough, and in some aspects I found it too thorough tbh. I would have covered the entire time span somewhat condensed like, then dove into each case in depth. This would help with the contextual aspects of cases more effectively imo. When it’s all spread out I found I didn’t compare the last cases as completely as I would have liked to.
The whole sections dedicated to distracting characters should have been barely mentioned in comparison. I think that wore me out to the story. I started turning out as once that part began, I was only waiting for it to get back on track. It’s clear the few people were dealing with issues like Munchausen’s syndrome.
Yet overall I really liked the book, and the writers style and skill. The bonus was how close the story was to their own life.

Pronunciation drove me nuts
Loved the books but the narrator's pronunciation drove me nuts. The narrator is obviously not from SW Ontario. I have never heard anyone call a house a "whoooose". My daughter and I had no idea what she was talking about at first. Penetanguishene, Huron, Dundas and other local names were also equally butchered. No one in the London area says "abooot". It would have been nice to have a local narrator read this.
