Summary
Colombian Killers explores the stories of three men who have forever tainted the lush fields of Latin America. This book narrates the sadistic acts of serial killers Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa.
For these men, rape and murder were but the beginning of the horrors they inflicted upon the world. The fear their crimes inspire is not about their nature, the methodology, or even the victims. It is about who the killers themselves are.
These men were motivated by perhaps the most chilling trifecta - sex, power and revenge.
This book begins with three parts, each dedicated to one of these three monsters of modern-day Colombia. Once you've been edified with the general knowledge of the atrocities, we will delve further into the tiny details, the forgotten horrors, the thousands of ways that we as a society failed these men and, in so doing, shaped them into be the monsters they are known as today.
Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and Daniel Camargo Barbosa are among the most prolific serial killers in the world. Between them, they were convicted of 329 murders, but it's believed that the number they committed is over 750.
Colombian Killers is not for the faint of heart, nor for the feeble of spirit. Be very sure you want to know what you are about to hear, because if you can be sure of nothing else, be sure of this: You will never forget what you are about to hear.

Interesting analysis of serial murder
Would you listen to Colombian Killers again? Why?
Yes I will do, it's an easily digestible factual account about three prolific serial killers that operated in Latin America ( one may still be operating.......) Wonderfully narrated and fascinating to listen to. Made a pleasant change to watching a movie to take the time to sit and listen in one session. Highly recommended.

Lacking
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I found this book to be quite basic. It was only very brief, and I think it suffers for trying to talk about three notorious serial killers in a space/time where he normally only talks about one. There is a general apathy towards the victims of these serial killer's victims and are often just referred to as "runaways" while sympathy is afforded to the said serial killers for growing up poor and being sexually abused. It doesn't negate what they did to the 300+ children mentioned as victims in this book. The book itself felt like one massive attempt to excuse what these serial killers did.
It also tended to repeat information. I was told at least three times that Columbia can only imprison people for a maximum of 16 years before it was later changed to forty years. It would have been interesting to have a side note or an end note explaining why this happened, as would have occurred in many other true crime books. It also suffered from mispronunciations which made me cringe throughout the book. Aside from this problem, the narrator, Ernie Sprance, was actually really good and I did enjoy listening to his narration.
This concluded with a really weak conclusion. Based off of three serial killers based in and around Colombia, the author concludes that serial killers are either the fault of the parent's / upbringing, or societal expectations. It was a disappointing conclusion and I would have thought that the author would have delved a bit deeper than that.
