Mr Olsen has excelled himself in this book, the narrator complimented with perfection as he negotiated many different genders and dialects, I am genuinely miffed that I have come to the end,as for Art Shawcross, he is where he needs to be.

A Lot of Book

I found this book difficult to get into, but that was just because we were getting such a detailed background of the story.
In fact once it got started it was totally gripping, very interesting, and very enjoyable. I will probably try another from this author.

This is the best book of the year for me (July 2020) It's brilliantly written, and the Narrator is sublime!
The topic, Arthur Shawcross was an absolutely disgusting human being and there are not enough fires in hell for him.

What makes this book so very special is the absolute honesty, and clarity of the crimes and the lengthy investigation to nab him.

A horror of a story, but I'm glad to know the history of it all.
Congratulations to all involved with this work, but sincere condolences to the family, and friends of his victims.

Superb Work!

This is a long book and I loved every minute of it. Extremely well researched and written and the narration was excellent. Did not want it to end. A must for true crime fans.
