Death Row at Truro

The Shocking True Story of Australia’s Deadliest Sex Killers

De: Geoff Plunkett

Narrado por: David Muscat

Innocent young women, a sadistic serial killing duo and … the true story as revealed by the lead detective.

Australia's most prolific serial sexual killers met in prison. They were a complete contrast: Christopher Worrell, the charismatic psychopathic youngster; and James Miller, the older and socially awkward loner. For Miller, it was love at first sight. They developed an ominous sexual bond–proving that opposites can attract–and then kill.

Once free, the inseparable tag team slayed as many people as notorious Australian serial killer Ivan Milat. Whereas Milat took a year to murder seven victims, the duo achieved the same in seven short weeks … the last four killed in only six days.

The frenzied carnage only stopped when Worrell died in a car accident. So ended the life of Australia's own BTK. Like America's Dennis Radar, Worrell bound, tortured and killed–because he could.

Revealed for the first time is the full account of the victims, the serial killers and the lead detective, a relentless investigator who broke the silence of the surviving murderer, the only person who knew the full truth … But was Miller's truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

First! joke aside, very informative.

Since there were no reviews on this I wanted to try and give it an honest one.

It was definitely more about the girls than the perpetrators. It gave each victim a fair amount of time, telling their back stories and making them human. I really felt it was the authors goal, to make this more about them and their families. The book even dedicated a chapter on how it effected their families and how they perceived everything that happened.

I also appreciated how the book went into depth on the psychology and social ramifications. Going over not just Worrell and Miller, but also relating them to other murderers and the psychology behind them.

Finally, it covered the social ramifications of these murders and how it effected Australia as a whole. Blaming the victims, warning girls, folks fighting back against victim blaming, how the media portrayed them.

Overall it was interesting how the book itself didn't focus as much about the two men themselves, trying to focus on all other subjects, especially the victims, the humans whoes lives were taken away.

Oh, and as a non-native Australian the narrator had a great voice ;)
