I found this book difficult to get into, but that was just because we were getting such a detailed background of the story.
In fact once it got started it was totally gripping, very interesting, and very enjoyable. I will probably try another from this author.

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.

If your into these books then this is worth a go.

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

Heartbreaking
