Kerri Rawson
About this listen
What is it like to learn that your ordinary, loving father is a serial killer?
In 2005, Kerri Rawson opened the door of her apartment to greet an FBI agent who shared the shocking news that her father had been arrested for murdering 10 people, including two children. That’s also when she first learned that her father was the notorious serial killer known as BTK, a name he’d given himself that described the horrific way he committed his crimes: Bind, torture, kill. As news of his capture spread, the city of Wichita celebrated the end of a 31-year nightmare. For Kerri Rawson, another was just beginning. In the weeks and years that followed, Kerri was plunged into a black hole of horror and disbelief. The same man who had been a loving father, a devoted husband, church president, Boy Scout leader, and a public servant had been using their family as a cover for his heinous crimes since before she was born. Everything she had believed about her life had been a lie.
Written with candor and extraordinary courage, A Serial Killer’s Daughter is an unflinching exploration of life with one of America’s most infamous killers and an astonishing tale of personal and spiritual transformation. For all who suffer from unhealed wounds; the crippling effects of violence; betrayal; or anger, Kerri Rawson’s story offers the hope of reclaiming sanity in the midst of madness, rebuilding a life in the shadow of death, and learning to forgive the unforgivable.

just ok
I didn't enjoy the narration of this book. The book itself was interesting but kind of whiny.

Heart wrenching honesty
A need-to-read-to-end accounting of a family in an unfathomably brutal true story.
The author spends quite some time, in the beginning chapters, with incredibly heartfelt detail of her almost golly-gee-whiz upbringing in a small American town with good hard working, honest, loving family, church, and solid values... until everything (and I mean everything, unravels).
The title smacks you, but the way the author bravely weaves her memories, feelings, and detailed accounting of cold hard facts is truly astonishing and often gut wrenching.
So very open and raw but humble and decent...anything but tabloid sensational.
Bottom line: her life story gives witness that love and forgiveness can triumph against impossible odds and horrific evil.

Just barely made it through...
Struggled to finish this. The narration wasn't drawing me back into the book at all. Dull and boring...I'm glad that Kerri has found peace in her life though. I wouldn't recommend it to others.

Grace at its finest
I enjoyed the book remembering that is was a memoir. I found Keri to be a wonderful person who truly showed Grace, kindness and love throughout the years in dealing with an unimaginable situation. I would have liked it to be a little less about God and more about her father. Having said that I do understand that Keri is faith based and has a relationship with God.

A courageous story
Wow. I can't even begin to imagine the traumas that Kerri and her family experienced. Given that there are murderers and serial murderers in this world, Kerri gives insight as to the shock, trauma and distress one must feel upon discovering a loved one has committed such heinous crimes. I admire her courage in sharing her story; it will help many. In terms of reliability, the bible and God references didn't connect for me, but this is not a criticism (it's her story, afterall), and they didn't get in the way of the story. Time well spent listening.

Not What I Expected, But Still Enjoyable.
I’m an avid horror fan that enjoys true crime. So when I picked up this novel, I assumed it would be a detailed look into the BTK’s crimes from his daughter’s perspective. It’s definitely more of an autobiography of Kerri Rawson. It was still interesting to read but somewhat disappointing.
