Brilliant
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. I found it hard to stop listening. It was so well researched and written. The narrator was simply spellbinding, the best ever. The way Kevin Pierce came across narrating the various conversations and accents was, for me, exceptional. The narrator made it feel like you were there watching, like a movie. It's hard to explain. It's so sad about the children and all the murders and so many people affected by these crimes. Yes, it is sad about Jack Shawcross. It was fascinating listening to what the psychiatrist found out about Jack Shawcross abnormality. Obviously, this was a major reason why he committed these henious crimes. Vietnam stories were obviously fabricated, ugh. A must-read.

A Lot of Book
Mr Olsen has excelled himself in this book, the narrator complimented with perfection as he negotiated many different genders and dialects, I am genuinely miffed that I have come to the end,as for Art Shawcross, he is where he needs to be.

Quite slow to start
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.

Best narration I've ever heard
The story is somewhat cobbled together, but the narration more than makes up for it(Narrator manages to sound exactly like AS!).

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

True Crime at its Best
A remarkably detailed and gripping account of serial killer Arthur Shawcross.
A well-written and fascinating account by Jack Olsen with excellent narration by Kevin Pierce.
