About this listen
In Victorian England, 1896, Evelina Marmon gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, Doris. As was typical of the era, she sought adoption to provide a more stable upbringing for her child.
She chanced upon a newspaper advert, ‘Married couple with no family would adopt a healthy child, nice country home. Terms, £10.’ Could this home be the baby’s good fortune?
Evelina wanted to pay a more affordable ongoing fee for her daughter’s care, but Mrs Harding insisted on the substantial one-off payment in advance. She was reluctant to hand over Doris, but Mrs Harding was a trained nurse and respectable married woman who would provide a loving home for her child. So, she agreed.
But Mrs Harding had no intention of caring for Doris. She wasn’t married, and her real name was Amelia Dyer. She wanted money.
Amelia never passed on a new address to the anxious mother. Instead, she found some dressmaking tape and bound it tightly around Doris’s neck, watching and waiting. She disposed of the body in the river Thames and pawned the clothes Evelina had packed.
The Baby Farm Murders is a chilling account of Amelia Dyer, who was responsible for the deaths of up to 400 children, making her one of the most prolific serial killers in True Crime history. Ryan Green provides a suspenseful narrative that draws the listener into the real-life horror experienced by the victims with all the elements of a captivating thriller.
CAUTION: This book contains descriptive accounts of child abuse and extreme violence. If you are sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to go further.

The fatal shot rang out, causing panic as a witness frantically called the police. Compelled by the voices in his head, Mullins believed that human sacrifice would prevent a massive earthquake from striking California. No one was safe.

Eight true crime stories of murder and mayhem. In my first audiobook as a true crime author I've started with a few of the stories that have haunted me for some time. Some of these stories are unbelievable in their brutality while others are astounding in the stupidity of the killers. This collection of stories are from all around the globe and have no common thread between them other than that they are both thought provoking and disturbing. The stories included in this anthology are dark and creepy and will leave you with a new understanding of just how fragile the human mind can be.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

A terrifying tale beyond comprehension...
The year 1837 saw the birth of a lovely baby girl who, instead of being coddled, pampered and spoiled, was doomed to a life of hardship and misery that molded her into a force of evil that defies explanation or understanding. In this riveting narrative, Ryan Green peels back the layers of Amelia Elizabeth Hobley’s path of misfortune to provide the unforgettable and terrifying tale of her transformation from pitiable child into the “Ogress of Reading,” one of Victorian England’s most infamous baby farmers. I was fascinated by the detailed descriptions of the societal mores of that time period and how those beliefs and conventions actually birthed the industry known as “baby farming.” We will probably never be able to irrefutably quantify the actual human toll of Amelia’s wickedness, but this book provides an eye-opening account of the potential impact of a single evil individual. It is heart-wrenching to realize that, while Amelia may have been one of the worst, she was definitely not the only entrepreneur in this vile trade. With his customary incisive examination of every known aspect of Amelia’s existence and his insightful analysis of Amelia’s psychological state, I feel the author has presented as complete a picture of this woman’s life and crimes as could be offered for someone of that era. The narrator, Steve White, brings both the characters and the hardships of Victorian England into sharp focus in my mind with his excellent reading. The story is sad, it is shocking, and it is a tale that will haunt my thoughts for some time to come. Having said that, it is a must-listen for true crime enthusiasts, history buffs, and students of human nature.

The Baby Farm Murders
This book is a deeply disturbing book on many levels. While it focuses on the atrocities committed by Amelia Dyer in the late 1890's, there is much more to this book than just that.
The book exposes the problems caused by the social mores of Victorian England, which ostracized young women who became pregnant out of wedlock. A society that cares more about propriety than about the lives of innocent children is pretty despicable. Women who found themselves in this difficult situation often turned to people who claimed to offer a place for their babies to grow up in a loving family through adoption. Instead, horrific deaths awaited these innocents.
Amelia Dyer was one of those offering this adoption service, but she was ultimately executed for her horrific crimes. No one truly knows how many babies died at her hands, but this book brings to light the extent of her deeds. It is unfortunate that it often takes the discovery of unimaginable crimes to cause social reform.
The author has once again brought a fact-filled story to life through his ability to humanize the victims. As you read this tale, you will find yourself weeping for the innocents that suffered at the hands of this monster. The narrator has become the voice of Ryan Green's books and he does his usual fantastic job with this one. His performance is perfect for this book and adds a lot to the listener's experience.
