About this listen

The murders of four innocent college students attending the University of Idaho left us all with so many questions.

Now, after more than 300 interviews, James Patterson and prize-winning journalist Vicky Ward finally have some answers.

We know what it was like to live in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022, the day of the cold-blooded killings.

We know what the local police and FBI did right. And what they did wrong.

We’ve learned so much about the four heartbroken families—the Mogens, Goncalveses, Kernodles, and Chapins.

And we have the backstory for Bryan Kohberger, brilliant grad student, loner, apparent incel—now indicted and facing trial.

Now you are the jury.

The evidence is in.

If you’ve been following the case there is nothing new in this book. I hope the authors are donating some of the proceeds to charities created in honour of these children.

This book is not only informative but written in such a respectful way as relates to victims and families. James Patterson is one of my favorite writers.

Those who have been following this case closely will find that little amount of new information is contained in this book. There are a few interesting accounts but nothing groundbreaking. The authors’ constant perseveration of insignificant details made the reading experience frustrating. Why is it necessary for the audience to know the Myers-Briggs personality results of the chief of police and his wife, or the frequency at which the president of University of Idaho goes to Costco? It goes beyond providing context for the audience and enters the realm of filler material, exposing a serious lack of literary substance.
