Story3.5 out of 5 stars 28
Between 1978 and 1983, Dennis Nilsen murdered and mutilated at least 12 young men in London. Many of these young men went under the radar socially, which enabled Nilsen's shocking killing spree to go undetected for years. This true crime audiobook lifts the lid on his sinister story. From his early upbringing in Scotland to his final act as a free man, this story weaves its way through the darker recess of a disturbed man’s psyche and his compulsion to murder.

This one is not for the faint of heart. The majority of the run time is spent on the nitty gritty details of the murders from the killers perspective and spares no details. The books is written from Dennis Nilsen’s perspective really lets the reader tap into the psychology of a serial killer. While the book is a comprehensive look at the life of the killer towards the end of the book it gets a tad repetitive with the listing off of victims names trying to reinforce how he felt but with its relatively short run time there is not much time to forget victims and the repetition of names and details we just heard didn’t add too much to the story. Overall it was better than most true crime podcasts I have listened to and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.

This is a fun quick listen. The plot is nothing to original and it wears its inspirations of Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, guardians of the galaxy, and the disc world series on its sleeve but it has the right mixture of all of the above to be addictive and a fun ride from top to bottom. They only parts that it drags is in some of the prolonged pop culture references like an overlong bit about describing the plot to back to the future part two or a heman joke that drags into just quoting the show without adding any real content other than trying to bring a sense of nostalgia. These bits are few and far between and overall did not detract from the overall enjoyment I had binging it. Milage may vary but I am planning on continuing the series.
