Story
Serial sexual homicide is a crime that is committed purely for sexual gratification. Well known serial killers such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and BTK were all motivated by power, sexuality, and brutality. These types of murders often receive widespread publicity, and create a sense of fear due to their nonsensical, motiveless, and random nature. At some point in the killer’s life, their sexual urges and arousal become intertwined with sadism – taking sexual pleasure from their victim’s fear, humiliation, physical, and emotional pain. The obsession often takes root during the ...

AI Narration Ruins the Story
Reviewed: 01-04-25
I am familiar with the story of Herb Baumeister and looked forward to a fresh perspective.. Unfortunately, the AI narration is intolerable. The bot pronounces “Herb” as “Erb” as though he was an herb from the garden. This is unforgivable. Further, if the text repeats itself in several places.
Overall, this is a slick shot effort of a compelling case. But listener and reader deserve better. Who edited this audiobook?

Story
When Max Marshall arrived on the campus of the College of Charleston in 2018, he hoped to investigate a small-time fraternity Xanax trafficking ring. Instead, he found a homicide, several student deaths, and millions of dollars circulating around the Deep South. He also opened up an elite world hidden to outsiders. Behind the pop culture cliches of “Greek life” lies one of the major breeding grounds of American power: 80 percent of Fortune 500 executives, 85 percent of Supreme Court justices, and all but four presidents since 1825 have been fraternity members.

Story
In the summer of 1985, a brilliant young British DNA scientist Helena Greenwood is found murdered in her front garden in a quiet suburb in California. The police believe they know the killer’s identity but there’s no evidence against him, and the only thing linking him to the crime is the fact he’d been charged with sexually assaulting Helena just a few months previously.

Another story, focusing on the murder instead of the victim 
Reviewed: 12-09-23
Wouldn’t it be nice if, long after a person was murdered, people would rally around and decide that they have been dead long enough decide to bring them back to life?
Unfortunately, that is impossible. Yet there is an endless supply of people wanting to resurrect the trials of convicted murderers. At least this story pays small bit of homage to the woman who was murdered. She should be at the center of this story.

Hollywood's make-believe maniacs like Jason, Freddy, and Hannibal Lecter can't hold a candle to real-life monsters like John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and scores of others who have terrorized, tortured, and terminated their way across civilization throughout the ages. Now, from the much-acclaimed author of Deviant, Deranged, and Depraved, comes the ultimate resource on the serial killer phenomenon.

Overly simplistic And flawed
Reviewed: 10-23-22
Intuitive policing? This is another unsubstantiated and simplistic overview based on anecdotal evidence and limited experiences. I didn’t see any science behind the conclusions or postulations, which dangerously perpetuates stereotypes. One example offered is “intuitive” policing, and we already know that what is considered intuitive is actually a result of biased reinforced over and over.
Read “the gift of fear” instead of this book,

Beautiful Person, Beautifully told
Reviewed: 02-20-19
To be oppressed for who you are by white America, and then to have your own story suppressed because of who you are from within the Civil Rights Movement - this is Ms. Colvin's story
There are reasons why Claudette Colvin did not make the same headlines that Rosa Parks made, though they both challenged the system in the same era. Reading Ms. Colvin's story speaks volumes about power and social movements, why some stories are more 'palatable' than others in a particular time and place, and whose stories get told. Her story needs to be told like Bayard Rustin's story needs to be told.
With all of the social importance that the reader is shown, this is the story of one person, told from the perspective of one person. Humility and power coincide in this story; Claudette Colvin never sought to be a hero. Reading her story, the reader sees that the hero within oneself need not be grand. This makes this book all the more powerful.

Insightful and Wise; "Must" Have for your Library
Reviewed: 02-20-19
There are countless books about marketing, branding, selling and all that goes with these things. "Building a StoryBrand" stands alone for several reasons. First, it's more of a blueprint than just a book, and it's organized well. It comes with auxiliary, online materials, which helped me follow the primary themes of the book. I've also been listening to the follow-up podcasts.
Many of Miller's points are insightful and practical. Learning that you are not the hero in your story is just one of these points. I don't want to spill the beans on that one, but it's one of many gems. There are many more. Reading this books has coincided with me building my own StoryBrand, and I have made several edits to website text, formatting and how I speak about what I do.
