This is a compacted version of the life and crimes of Andrei Chikatilo. I listened to the end, because I'd paid for this, and wanted to give a true review. It manages to get most of the relevant details packed in, in just under one and a half hours.
If you didn't know anything about this killer, you probably wouldn't be any the wiser after listening to this, because you probably wouldn't want to listen until the end. The voice of the narrator is absolutely awful. The worst I've ever heard. Monotonous American voice, hard to understand, and to follow the story. It took a lot of concentration to listen to, and most of the details didn't stick in my head. Luckily, I know a lot about this case already.
Even though it was only a couple of quid to purchase, it's not worth it.
