Summary

From the summer of 1979 through the spring of 1981, Atlanta, Georgia, was held under siege by a serial killer, and dozens of victims started to appear. The series of murders, which became known as the “Atlanta Child Murders case”, gripped the city of Atlanta with fear and shocked the nation because most of the victims were children. The fact that the victims were all Black and mostly male caused many in Atlanta’s Black community to fear their children were being targeted by a racist conspiracy.

In this true-crime audiobook, you will hear about how the Atlanta Child Murders case put a city under siege and how a task force of law-enforcement officers from several different agencies eventually captured the killer. You will follow the investigation as the police use what was at the time fairly new techniques of criminal profiling and fiber evidence to capture and convict the killer. For many around the country, once the killer was arrested, it was difficult to accept. The killer was a young, nerdy-looking man named Wayne Williams. To many people, his background didn’t seem to indicate he was a serial killer, but the professional profilers knew otherwise!

Open the following audiobook and learn the true story of Wayne Williams and the Atlanta Child Murders. You will learn about how Williams evolved from a nerdy kid who loved electronics into what is perhaps the most prolific Black serial killer. You will be horrified by some of the details of this case, but you will not be able to pause this audiobook.

Exciting and thrilling book.

This book has delivered an excellent account of the child killer case. Prior to reading this book, I only had a brief detail of the story. However, the author takes an in-depth approach to telling the story. These details are what makes this book exciting, while the actual story is quite thrilling. This book would, however, mostly be appropriate for those who love crime stories, investigations, etc.
The narration is very good as well.
