About this listen

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. Following in the macabre tradition of another infamous Wisconsin serial killer - Ed Gein - Jeffrey Dahmer terrorized Milwaukee for most of the 1980s until he was finally captured in 1991.

Perhaps one of the most frightening aspects of Jeffrey Dahmer's serial killer career was how easy he was able to lure his victims into his trap. Dahmer possessed above average intellect, was conventionally good looking, and usually had a calm demeanor that could disarm even the most paranoid of people. Because of these traits, Dahmer was able to evade justice numerous times, which allowed him to keep killing. Truly, Dahmer was able to fool his family, the police, his neighbors, and even the judicial system into believing that he was not a threat; but during the entire time his kill count increased and the body parts of his victims began to pile up around his apartment.

Purchase this audiobook to listen to a story that is among the most disturbing of all true crime serial killers. You will follow the course of Dahmer's life from an alcoholic outcast in high school to a vicious predator who stalked the streets of Milwaukee. Finally, you will hear about Dahmer's trial, his jail house murder, and the impact that his many crimes had on Milwaukee.

Well Researched

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I just love Jack Rosewood's true crime books. He has such a flowing easy style that is perfect to listen to.
Personally, I'd heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, but I hadn't known what he'd done. (As Rosewood said, anybody over the age of 30 should have heard of him, and personally, I am not over the age of 30). This was brilliantly researched, and I like how Rosewood went into the aftermath, the legacy and the effect on his family after Dahmer's death. This was very good.

Excellent Book!

Excellent book and I love the narrator, he is one of my favorites. The book was captivating and detailed but not repetitive, so it kept the story very interesting. 5 stars for sure!

A decent, concise account.

Keyword ‘concise’. I’ve listened to podcasts that are only an hour long that hold more details than this book. There were some key details missing that I feel build up the terror surrounding this murderer’s life. That said, it was a good general look at the serial killer.

Oblivious to the killers among us 💀

This book covers the information the media gave plus interviews with Jeffrey where he explains why he did it.
To a sane person the reasons why will never be clear.
The most horrifying thing is most serial killers appear so normal they could be anyone including your neighbor or friend.
The speculation on whether the prison guards allowed Jeffery's own death is still a mystery.
I'm interested to hear who's up next in this very detailed series about serial killers.
The narrator did a good job.
His voice is a perfect fit for this book.
I was given this book in exchange for my honest review.
Is it worth a credit?? I think so.

Murderers need not apply

I had to do a paper on Dahmer in high school for a project and this reads just like one you would hear in high school. Most of the info is what you can find online or in videos, nothing new to the world. But for people who never heard or know of Dahmer, then this is a great starter to get them the info they need.

Must Read for True Crime Fans

Horrifying story told excellently - both in writing and narration. I was already pretty familiar with Dahmer's crimes but still really enjoyed this book. The flow was really good and it was obviously extensively researched and the narrator only made it better. His tone and pacing were both wonderful.

Truly one every true crime fan needs to read.

This book is well written and very well researched. I've listened to many of Jack Rosewood's true crime books and this is another great one. The book goes into detail the brutal and unimaginable murders that Jeffrey Dahmer committed. The narrator did a great job.
