Story
Don Miller was quiet and reserved. As a former youth pastor, he seemed a devout Christian. No one would have ever suspected that the recent graduate of the Michigan State University School of Criminal Justice was a serial killer. However, when Miller was arrested for the attempted murder of two teenagers in 1978, police quickly realized he was probably responsible for the disappearances of four women. Offered a still-controversial plea bargain, he led police to the bodies of the missing women. Now, after 40 years in prison, Miller has served his time.

Story
In 1985, Charles Ng and Leonard Lake were spotted shoplifting. Ng escaped, but Lake's capture led police to a concrete bunker in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where they discovered the grisly evidence of an orgy of sex crimes, torture, and murder that claimed at least 16 victims. Lake committed suicide: Ng fled to Canada, where he was tracked down and extradited to California. This 14-year, $10 million legal case was the costliest and longest criminal prosecution in California history.

Christopher Wilder was about as bad as they get. A predator and serial killer, he first came to the attention of police in Sydney when, as a teenager in 1963, he was charged with rape. A good behaviour bond was not a deterrent, and over the years his crimes escalated. After moving to the USA in his early 20s, Wilder continued to perfect his vile and deadly trade. He was a chameleon with a modus operandi refined over the decades, luring young teenage girls with the promise of a career as a photographic model.

To his neighbors, Wayne Nance, a furniture mover from Missoula, Montana, appeared to be an affable, considerate, and trustworthy guy. No one knew that Nance was the "Missoula Mauler," a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986. Nance's only requirement for murder was accessibility - a preacher's wife, a teenage runaway, a female acquaintance, a married couple. Putting on a friendly façade, he could easily gain his victims' trust. Then, one September night, thirty-year-old Nance pushed his luck.

Another good, yet disturbing book by Gary C King!
Where does Blood Lust rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This was one of the most disturbing books I've listened to.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Blood Lust?
One of the murders was especially gruesome.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, it was as interesting as it was disturbing. I wanted to find out how he was caught.
Any additional comments?
Gary's books are always full of detail and answer most of the questions about the killer and the crimes. I am rarely left wondering about anything but how someone can commit such horrible crimes. Even though he gives a lot of background on the killers and how they become the way they are, it is still hard to understand how someone could be so evil.

Wow.. Sadistic Serial Killer!!
When I can't put a book down (in my case, the Kindle), it means the story was fantastic. I love this genre and this was a interweaving, and intricaling detailed story.
Great read and nicely narrated novel.. As narration can make or break a book.. Dan Orders does a wonderful job telling this sadistic true tale...

Great forensic story
I enjoyed listening to this story. I live in the same area where this story took place.
Only things I didn't like are minor. The story repeats things at time to where I thought I had gone back in the story, and a few names of cities get mispronounced.
Otherwise, very interesting and it does a great job of explaining how the investigation happened.

Detailed Presentation Crimes, Investigation &Trials
Would you listen to Blood Lust again? Why?
I would. I am a seasoned True Crime book reader and I might caution that the crimes are reprehensible, and that there are no redeeming factors for murderer Dayton Leroy Rogers. There is some biographical material for Rogers near the beginning of his childhood circumstances, yet they don't mitigate his acts as an adult.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Blood Lust?
Each of the descriptions of the attacks and murders certainly, but what stands out in my mind in hindsight, is his demeanor at the trials.
What does Dan Orders bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I appreciated his spoken pace, it fit the material well, mostly he did a good job with various character voices. Pleasant voice and pronunciations seemed correct.
Any additional comments?
I have listened to a handful of works written by Mr. King. His area of expertise in with the True Crime genre. I have enjoyed all of them including this one!
Thanks for the opportunity to listen and offer my opinions on this work!
A review copy was gifted to me at no charge. In return, I am happy to provide an honest review. Also at no charge.
