About this listen

In 1991, flight attendant Nancy Ludwig checked in to an airport hotel near Detroit. The next morning she was found gagged, raped, and tortured - her throat slit with such rage that she was nearly decapitated. Her husband Arthur never gave up hope that the future would bring enough evidence to close the case. But it was the past that held the clue.

In 1985, 55-year-old Margarette Eby, a music professor, met the same grisly death at her cottage in Flint, Michigan. The case went cold - until six years later when the victim's son Mark came upon the story of Nancy Ludwig's slaying. With nothing to go on but intuition, he called authorities, certain that the same fiend committed both crimes.

A cunning sting operation yielded irrefutable DNA evidence, and authorities were led to the home of respected navy veteran Jeffrey Gorton living quietly with his wife and two children. But his cold-blooded secrets were only beginning to come to light, leaving fears that there were more victims yet to be found in a killing spree that had finally come to an end. Blood Justice shows veteran reporter and author Tom Henderson at the top of his game.

Adequate

The storyline was interesting, especially in the first 2/3rds but it hit a wall after that with too much unnecessary details on side issues.

Holy Ramble

The book itself is well written and performed. The content is just overkill. At certain points the author even repeats a story he has already told in previous chapters. There is so much detail on unrelated characters and crimes that I had trouble figuring out if I clicked on the wrong book. I thought the other reviews were just being critical. I was wrong. If you are going to be able to really pay close attention, the book is worth the listen. Just beware that you will get confused in spots.

Very good, listened to it twice!

I’m a fan of Tom Henderson, and I’ve listened to all but one of his true crime books on Audible. This is one of his best. There is so much detail here, as he unravels two seemingly unrelated, but equally shocking crimes. The hunt for the perpetrator, the missteps by police and then the unrelenting hunt to find the truth. It’s all here.

Some thought the book went into unnecessary details and I agree, although that happens with many crime stories. When he goes off on a tangent, I just skip over it. But this is still a compelling story. Narration was fine.

Good Book, Great Narration

"Blood Justice" is a gripping story. Learning the specifics of the case was fascinating. However, some of the extraneous details
could have been omitted. Mr. Garcia's narration and use of inflections when reading dialogue was great!

Wow !!! Nothing left out

This is by far the most detailing crime book that I have ever read. The writer’s research and explanation of these cases is outstanding and the best I have ever read/heard. A must listen for crime lovers and an excellent presentation of a horrible case.

Sad...

Really good book here. Henderson does a fabulous job with a complicated case. Feeding you information, introducing you to characters, and telling the tale at a perfect pace so you never feel lost. He does a great job of covering the entire scope too...right up to the epilogue where he gives you the run-down of where the players are all at today. Intriguing story told by the perfect narrator. Mr. Garcia was exactly what a book like this needed. He was so good that I actually looked into other books he’s narrated.....it’s not often I do this with a narrator. He was that clear, we’ll-paced, and professional. All-in-all I’d say if you’re so close to purchasing this book that it’s brought you here, to my review, then do it. Lol. It’ll be worth your credit! Very interesting, well-told, and ultimately sad story. Kept my attention from start to finish.

Good story...tons of unnecessary info.

The story was good. However , I feel that the author went too deep, into the investigators' background's. I found all that information on the investigators' boring, as it added nothing to the story.

.

Story was good, in-depth but for some reason that I can't fathom is why all the writers want to go on and on and on with irrelevant information that really does nothing more than make someone yawn. I don't want to hear a full two chapters on the goings-on or their whole life story if they are not a key player in the story!! arghhhh
