About this listen

Instant New York Times Bestseller

“Compelling. . . . Blum capably maintains the suspense and thoughtfully probes into the motives of key players in this intriguing yet profoundly unsettling story.”—Kirkus Reviews""

The definitive, inside story of the Idaho murders from acclaimed bestselling author Howard Blum, whose groundbreaking coverage of the story was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

Timed for a trial that will capture national attention, When the Night Comes Falling examines the mysterious murders of the four University of Idaho students. Having covered this case from its start, Edgar award winning investigative reporter Howard Blum takes listeners behind the scenes of the police manhunt that eventually led to suspected killer, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, and uncovered larger, lurid questions within this unthinkable tragedy.

Reminiscent of the panoramic portraiture of In Cold Blood and The Executioner’s Song, When the Night Comes Falling offers a suspenseful, richly detailed narrative that will have listeners transfixed.

I am almost finished listening to this book, and must say I’m impressed. The author did a lot of research in putting this book together, and it shows. That wasn’t easy, he explains in the introduction, because of gag orders and other obstacles. But he persevered and the result is this book.

I have been following this case pretty closely, and I find true crime fascinating in general. But I learned some things I didn’t know, including some background of the alleged perpetrator. Info about the town of Moscow and university life, especially its “Greek life,” added interest and local color.

This selection is much better than another one in my library dealing with the same subject matter, in my opinion. This has more factual info and is better written, definitely worth the credit!
The narration is spot on.

Best book so far on Idaho tragedy
