About this listen

Robert Pickton, inherited a pig farm worth a million dollars and used his wealth to lure skid row hookers to his farm, where he confessed to murdering 49 female victims; dismembering and feeding their body parts to his pigs, which he supplied to Vancouver area restaurants.

This is the first book in a 24-volume series collection, edited by crime historian Dr. Peter Vronsky and true crime author and publisher RJ Parker. Each month, they will publish a book of Canada's most notorious criminals, written by various authors, and published under VP Publications, an imprint of RJ Parker Publishing, Inc.

Chris Swinney worked narcotics and homicide cases for the past six years in the state of California. He also has written a crimes fiction trilogy called, The Bill Dix Detective Series.

A take from what sounds like a typical police officer from the seventies. It is quite a tale but the American take on Canadian judicial proceedings can make your roll your eyes at times.

Good story annoying writer

I found the writing style to be rudimentary, and the author’s American opinions and American frames of reference far too frequent. Opinions don’t belong in true crime. Facts should guide the story.

Too American for this Canadian reader

Such a sad sad story. The police knew about it long before they finally searched “that” property. From what I REMEMBER being there… that wasn’t the property of PIGGYS PALACE….
But that property, the back portion (that provided them with at least a mill.) where all those homes where built… I’m sure there are secrets 7ft under those homes… and that pig Willy… came running when it was called and was taller than the fence that kept it penned.
Sick

Yikes

I guess I hoped for SOMETHING that wasn't printed over and over in every Vancouver newspaper during those years of the investigation/trial. Unfortunately the author seemed to get every bit of info the news. Was written like a grade 10 book report. I guess if you didnt grow up in the neighbouring town to the Pickton farm and read the papers during it all the content MIGHT seem somewhat fresh.

AVERAGE AT BEST

Listened to “On the Farm” first. It was much better and made this version of events seem fluffy and incomplete.

Compares poorly to other books on topic

I should have looked at how long this book was.. it wasn't horrible but it doesn't go into any detail really at all, just kinda talks about what everybody knows already. I would have listened for free but I feel like I wasted my credit...

can't belive I wasted my credit on this.. dammit

I highly recommend listening to this story of this extremely sick twisted individual of a poor disgrace to human life

grossly man

In my opinion, this book was poorly written and even more poorly narrated. This is an interesting story, but the author somehow made it boring. Very little actual details were provided, and the narrator spoke in a weirdly breathy, stilted manor, with pauses mid sentence that made much of the book sound like run-on sentences. Wish I hadn’t spent my money on it.

Bad…
