Good, but…

Narrator is amazing with everything he does. Some stories were good, but others have the ‘mile wide/ inch deep’ feel to them. They are essentially equivalent to the trailer of a movie. Intriguing, but not complete. Still, the book was entertaining.

LOVE the narrator! The book?

I have listened to many Kevin Pierce audiobooks about true crime and always give him 5 stars. This book, although a nice long listen, left me feeling kind of bland. I think it’s because the stories are so compact with very little time to get involved with the people in them. You don’t get swept up in each story before it’s over and off to the next one. I felt confused at times as they seem to blend into each other. I love true crime and there is a lot in here but not as riveting as one full event and details that make you feel you could solve this crime.

Perfect for true crime lovers!

I'm a big fan of true crime so when I saw that I could get over 25 hours of it I was thrilled. Overall, I really enjoyed this anthology. There is a good selection of stories from the infamous to the somewhat obscure.

Kevin Pierce did a great job at narrating. His voice is perfect for true crime. I felt like I was listening to Unsolved Mysteries again.

However, it should be noted that the stories are written by various different authors and some of them are quite dated. There were several stories with problematic language. There is a lot of victim blaming and some offensive terminology. Such as referring to someone with intellectual disabilities using the "R" word. There are also quite a few stories that refer to sexual assault and rape as "sex." You do not kidnap someone, tie them up and have "sex" with them. You are raping them. I was particularly disgusted when one of the stores included "at some point he [a boy being raped by his uncle] began to enjoy the sex and eventually discovered he was a homosexual." No. Just no. I don't know who wrote that and I don't care what year it was when it was written, that is not okay!
Honestly, if I had to rate each story individually there are a few that I would give one star just based on the way its written alone. However, this is an anthology so I am giving my rating based on the content as a whole and overall I really liked the audiobook.

Great Book! highly recommend

I have two complaints though. The fact that the narrater doesnt say "chapter __" at the beginning of a new chapter. Sometimes i don't realize it's transitioned to a new book. I also can't find a list anywhere that tells me the names of each killer and which chapter.

Almost every case I like to google and some of the names are not easy to locate while trying to guess the spelling that I'm hearing.

Narrater has an awesome voice.
lots of bang for your buck! so many hours of good listening

Ready to slit my own throat.

The stories might be good - but who knows? The narrator is so bad, I’ll never find out.
