À propos de cet audio

A dramatic and compelling true-crime psychological thriller

This incredible story shows how John Douglas tracked and participated in the hunt for one of the most notorious serial killers in US history. For 31 years a man who called himself BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) terrorized the city of Wichita, Kansas, sexually assaulting and strangling a series of women, taunting the police with frequent communications, and bragging about his crimes to local newspapers and TV stations. After disappearing for nine years, he suddenly reappeared, complaining that no one was paying enough attention to him and claiming that he had committed other crimes for which he had not been given credit. When he was ultimately captured, BTK was shockingly revealed to be Dennis Rader, a 61-year-old married man with two children.

The way the narrator said some words irked me. It’s Quan-tuh-co not Quan-tee-ko.

Great writing

I love all of John Douglas’ books so imagine my glee finding one included in the audible membership. Very soon in I see why it may be free, this narrator was not directed or proofed properly. It gives ‘reading out loud in class as a teenager’ with an unhealthy dose of monotone Owen Wilson. And then, and THEN the mispronunciations! QuanTIco AUTOmaton layrnIX. They’re….they’re not uncommon words…I don’t understand.

Does no one proof listen to these?

A hard listen, and not for the details, but rather the voice actor sounding like a monotone Owen Wilson

This could have been the most interesting books in history, but the narration and audio would have made it pretty darn difficult to know for sure. The narrator sounded like a high school student being forced to read from a text book. As for the story (to the best of my ability), it was okay. While I enjoy almost all of John Douglas’ books, I tend to enjoy the ones that discuss multiple cases more. Law and Disorder and The Cases That Haunt Us are my favourites (also worth noting that he wrote those books with Mark Olshaker instead of Johnny Dodd, so maybe that had an affect).
This actually doesn’t bother me too much, but Douglas really comes off as having a big head in most of his books. I don’t know the guy, of course, so I can’t say that he actually does, but he really comes off that way. And even if he does, perhaps it’s deserved. But I can see that bothering people enough to be a turn off. So be aware of that going into his books.
Overall, a fascinating look into BTK, but I would get the physical copy instead of listening to the audiobook. If you’re like me and need to listen to the audiobook when it comes to nonfiction, this may be one to skip.

Decent Book, Poor Narration

Awesome book, well written and well read, but the reader mispronounces regular words quite a bit. Still, well worth the read!

Odd reading
