Summary
A dramatic and compelling true-crime psychological thriller
This incredible story shows how John Douglas tracked and participated in the hunt for one of the most notorious serial killers in US history. For 31 years a man who called himself BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) terrorized the city of Wichita, Kansas, sexually assaulting and strangling a series of women, taunting the police with frequent communications, and bragging about his crimes to local newspapers and TV stations. After disappearing for nine years, he suddenly reappeared, complaining that no one was paying enough attention to him and claiming that he had committed other crimes for which he had not been given credit. When he was ultimately captured, BTK was shockingly revealed to be Dennis Rader, a 61-year-old married man with two children.

Poor narration
Interesting book, but disappointingly narrated to the point of almost spoiling it. Mispronunciation frequent and monotonous tone.

Good Story but DIABOLICAL Narration
I hope whoever narrated this NEVER works in voice acting again.
DO NOT waste your time on this audiobook. The story is great but the guy can’t even pronounce many basic words. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a mistake every couple of paragraphs.
Absolutely unbelievable that this got through any kind of editing or quality control process.

Very Interesting - if you enjoy this type of thing.
As a hardened true crime vet, it’s hard to affect my sensibilities, but this deep dive in to the life of BTK had me grimacing and upset on multiple occasions. Be warned.
With that said, I’m not always a fan of John Douglas - I often find him to be too arrogant (although justifiably so) for my personal tastes, and often his books focus on everything he got right, and don’t mention the things he got wrong, of which I’m sure there are plenty.
This book mostly manages to avoid that, as he had been retired for 10 years by the time Rader was caught. There are multiple mentions of it being something he had predicted in 74, or 82, or 91 and so forth, but they are mostly forgivable. As the book focuses purely on BTK, and with access to his diaries, all the police records and numerous sources, there isn’t as much room for unproven speculation.
I would criticise the performance by Jason Klav. There are numerous mispronunciations that are mildly irritating, such as the repeated mistake on “Quantico”. That one is unforgivable in a true crime book. Non are so egregious that they completely spoil it though.
Not for the feint of heart; and a must listen for anyone with an interest in serial killers.

Awful narration.
Don’t bother with the audio version of this book just buy the paperback and read it yourself.
The subject matter is so interesting but it’s difficult to concentrate on it because the narration is so bad.
He mispronounces words, Quantico becomes Qwanteeco, modus operandi is modus operandee and garrotte becomes garrot (like carrot with a ‘G’). The pace of it is also off-putting, it’s like listening to a school kid being forced to read Shakespeare in front of the entire class, like he just wants to get it over and done with.
In short, save your credit.

Good but...
I have watched documentaries on BTK and was very happy to find an audio book. Although the book is very detailed and interesting , I did not like the authors writing style, as he put in unnecessary information, and the storyline did not always flow. I am glad a preserved, although the narrators voice did not help.

I can’t finish this
The narration is awful. I couldn’t finish it. I couldn’t even say how good or bad the content is because the narration is so bad
