I don't know where my head was but I didn't read who the narrator was.
I was very disappointed when I started the book to hear someone, somewhat monotone, reading.
I was looking to be hyped up, and motivated by Steve.
Save your credits.

Story
“Sam, could you do me a favor?” Thus begins a story that has now become part of America's true-crime hall of fame. It is a gory, grotesque tale befitting a Stephen King novel. It is also a David and Goliath saga - the story of a young lawyer fresh from the public defender's office whose first client in private practice turns out to be the worst serial killer in our nation's history. This is a gripping true crime narrative that reenacts the gruesome killings and the famous trial that shocked a nation.

Great insight to a monster's mind, and why he would be defended.
I believe that the story within contains at least 80% fact, and is unbiased.

Story
Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting.

But when he's murdered on his way to trial, the police investigation takes a scorching new focus. All three women had a reason to hate him. All three wanted him dead.

I am addicted to Lisa Gardner.
My Audible library is 90% her books.
This storyline was the best.
You become quickly invested in the characters as the layers unfold.
Brilliantly written, superbly performed.
I couldn't stop listening.

Fabulous Story, Just Too Much Sex
Reviewed: 2021-07-14
This was an amazing story. had me on the edge of my seat. Huge Lisa Gardner fan. My Audible library is filled with her buuuuut, this one went overboard on the sex.
I'm no prude, and for the mental state of Jim Beckett, sure, let's hear his fantasies, but the other characters...the details...too much.
It detracted for the storyline, and was placed at times no one would actually be having sex.
Really started to get on my nerves, I wasn't up for 50 Shades when I added this book to my library.
With that said, take out the overly detailed sex and this may be one of my favorite Lisa G. books.
I will be having Jim Beckett nightmares for weeks! :)

Story
Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will - searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.
