About this listen

Colombian Killers explores the stories of three men who have forever tainted the lush fields of Latin America. This book narrates the sadistic acts of serial killers Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa.

For these men, rape and murder were but the beginning of the horrors they inflicted upon the world. The fear their crimes inspire is not about their nature, the methodology, or even the victims. It is about who the killers themselves are.

These men were motivated by perhaps the most chilling trifecta - sex, power and revenge.

This book begins with three parts, each dedicated to one of these three monsters of modern-day Colombia. Once you've been edified with the general knowledge of the atrocities, we will delve further into the tiny details, the forgotten horrors, the thousands of ways that we as a society failed these men and, in so doing, shaped them into be the monsters they are known as today.

Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa are among the most prolific serial killers in the world. Between them, they were convicted of 329 murders, but it's believed that the number they committed is over 750.

Colombian Killers is not for the faint of heart, nor for the feeble of spirit. Be very sure you want to know what you are about to hear, because if you can be sure of nothing else, be sure of this: You will never forget what you are about to hear.

Fascinating but no depth

Any additional comments?

Though this book was well written, it lacked depth. There was very little background and lacked emotion.

Disturbing True Life Accounts of Serial Killers

Disturbing True Life Accounts of Little Known Serial Killers.

TARGET AUDIENCE: True life crime story that is not over editorialized. The author provides an accurate account of the actual facts of the stories of these abhorrent individuals. It makes you aware that are individuals who prey on the weak and downtrodden in every country and nation

PROFANITY, SEX & VIOLENCE: Appropriate for all ages. Written in a way that describes the heinous crimes without using delving into details.

NARRATOR: Excellent job narrating these accounts.

OVERALL: I love to read about true crime, and this is a well written account of serial killers which you probably have not heard about in the English speaking world. Excellent book.

Colombian True Crime

Any additional comments?

This book looks at three brutal cases that are probably not known to you if you are in the English speaking world. I tend to like true crime books that go into a lot of detail, so of course three stories that are covered in an hour and forty five minutes are going to have less depth. Knowing that, I enjoyed the stories anyway. It's always interesting to hear about crimes that have been committed in foreign countries and how their judicial system differs from the one in my home country. These were some bad dudes; if you are sensitive to child abuse, I'd steer clear of this one!

Great Book

Any additional comments?

This was a great audiobook. I love true crime and I have never heard of the 3 serial killers in this book. This book gives the listener a glimpse into some of the darkest minds and what unimaginable things some people are capable of. The book itself does not go into too much detail about the crimes, but it still may not be for everyone.

very short very unsweet and very to the point

This book I only 1 hour and 44 minutes long and covers 3 serial killers Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa. Each mans story is told, leaving out a lot of the details of the murders they committed. Which is probably a good thing since their targets were mainly children and young teenagers. The thing that just ticks me off which has nothing to do with the author Ryan Green or his telling but with the sentences these men received. You can get more time in the US for beating an animal these they got for sexually abusing and killing multiple children. Also the fact that Ryan Green says in the book that this is societies fault. I have to wholeheartedly disagree. This is not societies fault. These people are sick and twisted, it is their fault. It is the governments fault they got such short sentences though. Yes this was many years ago and now the laws are tougher but 16 years is just nuts, and these men did not even get the full 16 years. I honestly do not know how they body count could be so high before they were caught. I understand Columbia is a poor country which is where most of the murders took place, but with that many children being missing I just can't understand. This story will probably haunt me for a long while.

I am positive these stories could be broken into fill length books for each person but I think I am kind of glad Ryan Green took the approach he did and grouped them together in this short book. The 3 men had nothing to do with each other during their killing sprees. In fact 2 of them knew nothing about each other until they met in prison. They were just the same kind of sick and twisted individuals. All 3 had rough lives as children themselves and were sexually abused, which just makes it even harder for me to fathom as to why they would want to do this to other children knowing what they went through themselves. Between the 3 of they they were charged with 329 murders but the number they killed could actually be over 750.

Ryan Green done an amazing job of bringing this story without delving to deep into the acts themselves of the murders. I don't think I could of handled full details of all the murders, It's bad enough knowing they sexually abused these kids then killed then, then buried their bodies. The book is Narrated by Ernie Sprance. Who brings the chilling facts, investigation, and trials of these cases to life in a somber but interesting way.

Informative!

Any additional comments?

This book was really interesting. I actually have never heard of any of these guys. My knowledge of serial killers from other nations is very minimal and I found this book very informative. Yes the book is short but it gives a lot of details and highlights in each case. I would highly recommend if you are into true crime.

Absolutely terrifying

True crime is far more terrifying than any horror story ever written. The kind of mankind is a truly terrible and dark thing. We hear plenty of the USA 🇺🇸 crime but very rarely do we here in the US hear of the criminals of other countries and the horrible acts of atrocities they commit. This is a truly eye opening and terrifying accounting.

Disturbing

Any additional comments?

The Colombian Killers is a disturbing book about real life serial killers. Few things are more disturbing than the true stories. The narration is in more of a news story style, so hard to put a grade on it, but it is good.
