Publisher's Summary
Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued?
Burrough is widely admired as a master storyteller, and this chilling tale raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.
This title contains mature themes, including physical and sexual violence, that some listeners may find unsettling.

If you like a True Crime, this is a good one.
Well narrated and an interesting short listen. Perfect for a road trip or a ride into work.

Well written but grim
It is interesting how towns can busy or simply stop talking about crimes. At first I thought, well, at least they put him away… but of course he got out. Well written, but little to give one hope here.

A fine attempt
This audiobook was a quick listen, with a well-researched, true crime narrative.
While the narrator was clear and well-spoken, his chipper manner directly contrasted the tone of the book, and the seriousness of the subject matter.
The writing itself was a little amateurish (with words frequently repeated- which becomes more prominent when read aloud), but overall engaging and concise. An interesting topic that previously received little coverage.
For a free audiobook, I definitely can’t complain. Enjoyable enough.

Read the Room
This narrator was awful. Too robotic and almost cheerful for the subject matter. I gave the story 3 stars as I think it could have been longer. Not sure if there was simply a lack of information in this case, but a lot felt rushed or glossed over.
