Wayzata is y-ze-ta not waa zata
Reviewed: 01-01-23
If you are going to write a book about a specific city and state then make sure you know how the cities are pronounced. Being a Minnesota native, I enjoyed hearing the characters traverse familiar stomping grounds. Most were described with very accurate detail so when the performer continued to pronounce the city of Wayzata (y-ze-ta) as waa zata it was hard to listen to and really distracting. One call to a Wayzata business would have been all needed to learn how the city name is pronounced. And no one including the editor caught it.

WHAT?
Reviewed: 01-30-22
The book kept my interest. I read the first 29 chapters wondering what’s next?
Until there was no next.
The book simply ended. Leaving multiple plot lines unresolved. What is the point of bringing in characters that we will never meet or understand why and who they were? Storylines that are never resolved?
The last chapter came to an end with Grampa dropping his grand daughter off at school saying goodbye keeping an FBI agent on hold who suggested foul play in his daughters death. and then The End!
Did the author just get tired of writing so quit? Is there a sequel ready to print.? As a reader and usually a fan of this author I feel cheated and unfulfilled and plan to return this audio book to audible. Will NOT recommend.

As I saw my newborn baby’s face for the first time, I tried desperately to capture her face in my mind - to stamp it onto my eyelids. As she was taken from me, I knew I might never see my daughter again. Thirty-seven years later... 'You were adopted'. Three short words and Sabina’s life fractures. There would forever be a before those words and an after. Pregnant with her own child, Sabina can’t understand how a mother could abandon her daughter or why her parents have kept the past a secret.

Good Read Abrupt Ending
Reviewed: 11-27-21
This book was based on an interesting subject with a good narrator. The story and characters kept my attention as their secrets and true personalities were revealed. Then suddenly the story ended and the epilogue was announced which did not reveal the missing end to the story.
Like running in a field and coming to a cliff the storyline stopped, left us hanging, without answers or conclusion.
Hmmm not sure I would recommend.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Intriguing. Factual.
Reviewed: 05-14-19
This book was a straight forward account of the life and death of a serial killer who happened to also be the boy next store. The author covers all facts really leaving no nagging questions or stones unturned in his description of the events around this horrible stream of crimes. No drama no mystery straight facts. The narration was well done.

Just Enough life to keep me listening
Reviewed: 10-09-18
The plot meandered along I got the idea the author was just pages in front of me still figuring out what the plot was going to be. iThere was no high point no crescendo the character just moved through the book inventing his way along until the book finished with him on top.
The narrator was very good and made a poorly written hero seem half human but I often had to rewind to pick up detail as his voice sometimes turned to muttering.
I did finish this book but it is more than a few hours of my life I will not get back.

Great performance loved the characters
Reviewed: 03-07-18
The narrators were excellent. Exception there were many pauses that made me think the audio had stopped just a few seconds too long. The characters and story was interesting but the ending was disappointing it just stopped in the middle of an event with no resolution as if the author just simply tired of the story and put an end on it.

Two days before Christmas 1996, the broken, battered body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier was found outside her vacation home in West Cork, a serene region on Ireland’s idyllic southern coast. Decades later, no one has been charged with the murder, but the aggrieved inhabitants of West Cork are convinced they know who did it - and he still lives among them.

Interesting story not a great listen.
Reviewed: 02-26-18
I almost put this book down several times. The background music was distracting the interviews were muffled and hard to discern. Every episode or chapter had another introduction naming all the persons responsible for the production of the book. It was awful. The story was just barely intriguing enough that I made the effort to finish the book but believe me it was an effort. I do not think a production style like this works well with an audio book.

This was a great read. The narration was well done and contributed to the overall excitement and suspense. However several words were mispronounced which caused me pause. Recommend this book to anyone who loves the science fiction genre, but also to readers who appreciate a good adventure story with lots of twists and turns.
