Publisher's Summary

Warning: This audiobook contains police and court transcripts and descriptions of graphic sexual violence contained in videotapes made by the perpetrators.

Paul Bernado and Karla Homolka were so perfectly iconic as a newlywed couple that they were dubbed "Ken and Barbie". But their marriage had a dark side involving sex, death, and videotape. The "perfect couple" first raped and murdered Karla's little sister then kidnapped teenage schoolgirls whom they enslaved, raped, tortured, and killed while gleefully recording themselves on video doing it.

Vronsky will take you on the journey from the Scarborough Rapist (Bernardo) to Bordelais (Homolka's current last name) and her return to Canada in October 2014 from the island of Guadeloupe, where she lived for several years.

This is the third audiobook in the Crimes Canada: True Crimes That Shocked the Nation collection.

Brutally Honest with Gruesome (Unheard) Details!

Growing up in Ontario all my life, the cruel kidnaps, violations and murders committed by this crafty and shady duo hit VERY close to home unfortunately. I STILL recall when they were searching for the so-called "Scarborough Rapist" - just the icing on the Bernardo cake really. This book rehashed ALL those negative headlines and memories - it was brutally honest and included some VERY gruesome details that are certainly NOT for the faint hearted!! I followed this story closely when it happened, BUT there were STILL!
It is evident that both Bernardo AND Homolka were equally guilty in all the crimes committed....it was a detrimental mistake allowing Homolka to make that plea deal for 12 years

Need a new narrator

Great information, but the narrator took away from the story. His voice did not suit the content.

Short but Good

A brief account of the horrific crimes that this couple was involved in. I wish the story had gone into a greater level of detail, as I believe that this is one of Canada's ugliest crimes in recent history.

Too Much Information

Very gory and specific on sexual details of the case. Not to my personal taste.

Narrator unsuited

there was something off about this narrator; it almost came off as if he enjoyed the content - making embellishments with the individual voices, and showing little to no empathy for the victims in his reading. It made it difficult to listen to. I struggle to finish it because I hate to waste my credits but I would not recommend this one to anyone.
