Publisher's Summary

When the bodies of three teenagers were found on the shores of Lake Waco, Texas, in July 1982, even seasoned lawmen were taken aback by the savage mutilation and degradation to which they had been subjected. Yet only 52 days after the gruesome triple-murder was discovered, frustrated authorities suspended the case indefinitely.

Patrol Sergeant Truman Simons, who had been called to the scene that night, saw the carnage firsthand - and vowed to find the ferocious killer or killers. He soon became a man with a mission, risking his career and his family's safety in search of evidence. Plunging himself into a netherworld of violence and evil, Simons finally got close enough to a murderous ringleader to hear his careless whispers - and ultimately put him and his three accomplices behind bars for the brutal slayings.

Now, in his Edgar Award-winning account of the Lake Waco killings, acclaimed true-crime writer Carlton Stowers lays bare the facts behind the tragic crimes, the twisted predators, and the heroic man who broke the investigation - with important updated information based on new developments in the case.

NOPE.

Well.. I tried. Several times in fact.
The summary sounded like this would be an interesting listen.
There are a few key reasons why I just didn't like this book.
#1 Narrator - the way this is narrated is just horrible. All the key players sound like they are ALL the same person. I felt like I was listening to a story read by the old Visine commercials guy.
#2 Story - the timelines ...just aren't defined in a solid way & if the narrarator is reading the book the way its written, then its just not a well written story.
I struggled to listen and give a chance to this book. I wish I could get a refund, but at this point, I've returned 2-3 books in a row and I'm scared Audible will flag me or something.
Either way...this book is a loss.
Don't waste your time or your money .
