Publisher's summary
When police in Florida's Volusia County were called to investigate the murder of Richard Mallory, whose gunshot-ridden body had been found in the woods just north of Daytona Beach in December 1989, their search led them to a string of dead ends before the trail went cold six months later. During the spring and summer of 1990, the bodies of six more middle-aged white men were discovered.
The police speculated that the murders were connected, but they never anticipated what they'd soon discover: The killings were the work of a single culprit, Aileen Wuornos, one of the first women to ever fit the profile of a serial killer. With the cooperation of her former lover and accomplice, Tyria Moore, the police were able to solicit a confession from Wuornos about her months-long killing spree along Florida's interstate highways. The nation was quickly swept up in the drama of her trial and the media dubbed her the "Damsel of Death" as horrifying details of her past as a prostitute and drifter emerged.
Written by the Reuters reporter who initially broke the story, Dead Ends is a thrilling firsthand account of Wuornos' capture, trial, and ultimate sentencing to death by lethal injection that goes beyond the media frenzy to reveal the even more disturbing truth.

Story
Few serial killers in history have garnered as much attention as Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Although Dahmer killed 17 young men and boys, it was not so much the number of people he killed that makes him stand out among famous serial killers, but more so the acts of depravity that he committed on the corpses of his victims. In this true crime story, you will listen to how Dahmer transitioned from a loner to serial killer, committing numerous unnatural acts along the way such as necrophilia and cannibalism.

Story
For 31 years, a monster terrorized the residents of Wichita, Kansas. A bloodthirsty serial killer, self-named "BTK" - for "bind them, torture them, kill them" - he slaughtered men, women, and children alike, eluding the police for decades while bragging of his grisly exploits to the media. The nation was shocked when the fiend who was finally apprehended turned out to be Dennis Rader - a friendly neighbor...a devoted husband...a helpful Boy Scout dad...the respected president of his church. Written by four award-winning crime reporters who covered the story for more than 20 years, Bind, Torture, Kill is the most intimate and complete account of the BTK nightmare

On January 21, 1998, the night before his 38th birthday, federal prosecutor Stanley Alpert was kidnapped by a car full of gun-toting thugs. Hoping to make a large withdrawal with his ATM card, they took him, blindfolded, to a Brooklyn apartment, and improvised.

My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

Not the best performance nor the best researched
Found this to be a shallow read that relied heavily on law enforcement transcripts and missed some of the issues with the case and investigation. Combine this with some weak narration choices and let’s just say I am glad it was included in my membership and I did not waste credits.

Misogynist fantasy
The author isn't shy about making things up for dramatic effect, narrating at length the dying thoughts of several men and the thoughts and motivations of Wuornos herself. He sprinkled these fictionalized accounts with misogynist slurs and made numerous offhand remarks about Wuornos' history of sex work contradicting her claims of being ashamed to be seen naked in front of customers that stop just short of implying as a sex worker she couldn't complain of rape. He passed up every opportunity to humanize her, including when she turned herself in to protect her girlfriend. The real Wuornos, whoever she was, gets substituted for a juvenile caricature of senseless evil. The performer exaggerated rather than moderating the effect of this caricature, hamming up the dialogue with his dramatic villain voice or with an irritating whiny voice whenever Wuornos was quoted (or ventriloquized, which the author did frequently, making up thoughts and quotes that couldn't be verified.) I'm glad this book was free and that it's over.

Too boring
I am a fan of true crime with Aileen Wurnos being one of the most interesting crimes. This book is absolutely boring. It jumps around and tells the story so slow. For half the book i didn't even recognize the story. Aileen Wurnos isn't even mentioned until about halfway through the book. If you like a boring story about people just finding her victims. No information on the investigation just how victims kept being found. 👎👎

I could not get through it.
I’m disappointed. The book is poorly written. The narrator is boring and has horrible voices for people. The story jumps around and goes way off the topic describing people who really don’t have anything to do or add to the story. I was hoping for a book about the killer. Her life and why she killed. The book spends more time focusing on the victims and useless information than doesn’t add anything to the story.

Fabricated details from crime scenes.
Would prefer a non bias report of factual information. Lots of filler, and not enough solid information. I didn’t hear anything that I hadn’t already heard from the media.
