About this listen

Throughout his time as a murder squad detective, Trevor Marriott has seen firsthand the wanton slayings and butcheries that have been committed by both men and women who have warped, depraved and sadistic minds.

In this fascinating and chilling book, he examines the world's most notorious serial killers and the despicable crimes they committed. From William McDonald (the 'Sydney Mutilator') to 'Dusseldorf Vampire' Peter Kurten, Steve Wright (the 'Suffolk Strangler') and the USA's satanic Ripper Crew, these are the horrifying true stories of serial murder from across the globe.

a few issues but..

the content is amazing. The detail is well studied and morbidly gripping
but
(no offence to narrator) there are issues with the flow of the book , the writing and the editing (there was an editor??)
The narrator did a great job considering it must have been tricky .
I now listen in small chunks and it's easier .. The actual content is fascinating.

A comprehensive insight into world serial killers

If you could sum up The Evil Within in three words, what would they be?

Staggering, gory, informative

What did you like best about this story?

Narrator was good. I liked the British chapters best - the book is split up into killers from different countries.

Which character – as performed by Yaz Shah – was your favourite?

Doesn't really apply to this book. Narrator was good.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

What you need to know about the worlds most notorious serial killers.

Any additional comments?

I felt the book was too long. Especially the US entries although presumably most killers were American. The content is very graphic but due to the vast number of killers catalogued you weirdly find yourself getting a bit bored with the huge number of awful murders. impresses on you just how many serial killers there are out there!

Great book, narrator hiccups

The book/story is excellent, and I wouldn't normally comment especially about the narrators delivery, but this has been mildly frustrating. Many words are mispronounced, making me correct her as I work... I have headphones in and i shout random words in frustration. I'd be put off another story narrated by her.

It's been done better by others

This is a very mediocre book. Superficial content and tedious pace. These murders have been covered with much more skill by others.

Superbly Graphic - not for the squeamish

A fantastically detailed book outlining the lives and graphically described crimes of serial killers. Perfect.

Excellent read! Very disturbing

This is my first review on here! Thought I would start with this book. Wow, hooked from the beginning. Most people have heard of majority of serial killers out there but this book delves deeper and goes into detail. Some truly sick people out there! Definitely a good read. but not for the faint hearted.

It is what it is!

So it is basically just a detailed report of the known occurrences of serial killers around the world. sometimes if known then the book will tell you the childhood trigger, sometimes it will tell you the sentence and date of death of the killer. It is a good read and shows a common ground that all serial killers have.... they mainly target women, gays, old people, hookers and children. Mainly vulnerable people, it's sickening but enlightening.

Narration

Enjoyed the book but distracted by the narrator mispronouncing several words; Cricklewood, Catholicism and depravity to name a few
