A Lot of Book
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.

Superb Work!
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.

Brilliant listen
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.

If your into these books then this is worth a go.
Slight confusion as to the story in the middle part but it picked up nicely. I like the narrator he does The Bundy murders too. I smashed it in a week so must have kept me gripped.

Well narrated, but not an edge of your seat read.
I suppose all true serial killer stories are fascinating to a degree, but some have more bite than others.

Jack olsen best book
Jack olsen best book by far didnt like son and salt of the earthand a few others hard to keep up with those books but this one is amazing book and of course the king of true crime audio kevin pierce predator is good grizzly is good also and rape by doctor cold kill but this is the best book from jack olsen what is it with the american legal system letting out killers to kill again i got a shock from some of the stories and there was a surprise in that more than one was killing young kids

Heartbreaking
Found parts of this book difficult to listen to, beautiful childrens lives cut short by someone who is clearly detached from reality and is it seems he is the result of a complex combination of abuse, brain injury and possibly genetics. The mothers pain when their children never came home is possibly the worst pain anyone could experience in this world. Books like this give us an insight into personality's that we can only hope we never meet in reality. Definitely worth a listen

True Crime at its Best
A remarkably detailed and gripping account of serial killer Arthur Shawcross.
A well-written and fascinating account by Jack Olsen with excellent narration by Kevin Pierce.
