About this listen
On February 29, 2000, John Price took out a restraining order against his girlfriend, Katherine Knight. Later that day, he told his coworkers she had stabbed him and that if he were ever to go missing, it was because Knight had killed him.
The next day, Price didn’t show up for work.
A coworker was sent to check on him. They found a bloody handprint by the front door, and they immediately contacted the police. The local police force was not prepared for the chilling scene they were about to encounter.
Price’s body was found in a chair, legs crossed, with a bottle of lemonade under his arm. He’d been decapitated and skinned. The “skin-suit” was hanging from a meat hook in the living room, and his head was found in the kitchen, in a pot of vegetables that was still warm. There were two plates on the dining table; each had the name of one of Price's children on it.
She was attempting to serve his body parts to his children.
Man-Eater is a dramatic and gripping account of the first women in Australia to be given a life sentence without parole and a special addendum "never to be released". Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-life horror experienced by the victim and has all the elements of a classic thriller.

By the way, do you truly know your
neighbors?
There is only one person who can get you into the mind of a psychopaths and make you so clearly understand what’s going on in there and how it was created in the first place.
I believe that the author Ryan Green is an amazing in his capabilities after listening to his audiobooks is showing us that in the right conditions everyone can become a psychopath all you need is the right settings and abuse growing up, just like what the judge in this audiobook said that we all have it ( evil ) inside us but we don’t act on it which is all because our upbringing from the day we where born.
It’s scary to think how many are out there taking medications till you here about something horrible on the news because one decided not to take his meds.
Man-Eater:
Green truly is an artist and so much more!
Once I started there was no taking breaks I was just hypnotized all the way to the ending.
Excellent choice taking Steve White for narration of this audiobook, he got it perfectly!
This story had to be written and only Green could have done it, put you in the head of others, get it and make it interesting at the same time.
Absolutely recommended!!!

The murder itself is not however the focal point of the story. The story focuses on the history of Katherine Knight, almost helping us understand why she may have committed such a disdainful act.
The story builds from her childhood and her school days all the way up to her imprisonment. What we really focus on are her relationships with men. Started out with unwanted attention from male relatives, until she took the reigns and initiated relationships with her future paramours. We also hear about Katherine's "education" with the knife, where she eventually gets a job in an abattoir, helping her to hone her skills. Not only do we learn of her rapid escalation to one of the top workers, but just how much she actually enjoyed the job.
Overall, I thought it was an excellent execution by the author, and even though it was certainly not an easy listen, especially towards the end of the book, it was fascinating. I struggle to believe some of the stories here, and just how Katherine continued to evade incarceration is beyond me, but that she did. The author certainly has a way with words, and he builds a brilliant picture of who the killer was and where she came from. I think the story of Katherine Knight would add to any discussion about Nature vs Nurture, especially given her arduous upbringing. (She also has a twin which could add to this).
The narration is also brilliant from Steve White, and I will certainly keep an ear out for his voice in future.
It should go without saying given the subject matter that this one is not for the faint of heart. It is a quick listen, but is not one that I will be forgetting any time soon. I look forward to listening to more audiobooks from this author.
Recommended listening to fans of true crime!
Spectacular look at the life of Katherine Knight
