Story4.5 out of 5 stars 983
'It is an axiom of behavioural science that vampires are territorial while cannibals range widely.' Hannibal killed nine people before he was caught. And five on his escape. Two of his victims survived - one of them is in an asylum; but the other craves revenge. Mason Verger, a paraplegic confined to a respirator since his encounter with Dr Lecter, can move only the fingers of his crippled right hand across the soft blanket that covers his lifeless body.

Dreadful reading
Reviewed: 07-09-22
This is the worst read audio book I have ever listened to. The reader is hard to understand at times. The female characters sound like brokers working on the docks.

Base on true stories
Reviewed: 05-08-22
Parts of this book are base on true stories; similar to a Hollywood movie. Events have been dramatised for reading. The author writes some of the stories based on the thoughts of the killer. One of the stores is completely written as if the author new every though the killer every had. He did not.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 243
In the Name of the Children gives an unflinching look at what it's like to fight a never-ending battle against an enemy far more insidious than terrorists: the predators, lurking amongst us, who seek to harm our children. During his 30-year career with the FBI, Jeff Rinek worked hundreds of investigations involving crimes against children: from stranger abduction to serial homicide to ritualized sexual abuse. Those who do this kind of work are required to plumb the depths of human depravity, to see things no one should ever have to see - and once seen can never forget.

Is this the authors life story
Reviewed: 14-06-22
I can see why it free; The authors life story is thrown in at the beginning. I have been listening for nearly 2 hours and no mention of what the title implies yet!

Uninteresting
Reviewed: 09-02-21
I have listened to over 5 hours of this book and apart from the beginning nothing is happening to want me to continue listening.
There's no mystery etc; just boring waffle to fill a gap between the beginning and the end of the story. I really don't understand (actually really amazed) how some people have rated this book so highly. I will continue listening and if the story improves I will change my review.

Oh so boring
Reviewed: 18-12-20
This has to be the most boring book I have ever read. After so many hours listening I mistakenly left it running and could not find the position I was last at because there wasn’t anything of interest to point me to a time. So so boring.

A amazing account of a twisted monster. Written by the detective involved and read by the narrator so well you would think it was C Sutton himself.

Story4 out of 5 stars 19
On June 14, 1962, twenty-five-year-old Juris Slesers arrived at his mother's apartment to drive her to church. But there was no answer at the door. When he pushed his way inside, Juris found Anna Slesers dead on the kitchen floor, the cord of her housecoat knotted tightly around her neck. Drawn from hundreds of hours of personal interviews, as well as police, medical, and court documentation, this is a grisly, horrifying, and meticulously researched account of Albert DeSalvo - an American serial killer on par with Jack the Ripper.

The Performance is dreadful
Reviewed: 30-04-20
Why oh why did I not pick up on the quality of the performance when listening to the sample. Why oh why would anyone employ the narrator to read any audio book? The book is well written but the narrator ruins the whole experience. Does he think he is reading a will or something? I find it hard to get past 30 minutes of listening.
