Well-Written and Thorough

Connors dives into Gypsy’s world with compassion and insight. Every detail matters, and it’s clear the author respects the gravity of the story. If you’re into well-researched true crime that isn’t exploitative, this is for you.

A Must-Listen for True Crime Fans

As someone who’s devoured many true crime audiobooks, this one stands out. It’s not just about the crime, but the years of psychological torment that led to it. The writing is sharp, the narrative structure compelling, and the narration engaging. Five stars.

Injustice Hidden in Plain Sight

It’s horrifying how long this abuse went unnoticed. The audiobook shines a light on the flaws in our medical and social systems. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but it’s also a call to awareness. A deeply moving true crime story.

Chilling in Every Way

The emotional manipulation in this story is scarier than most horror novels. Dee Dee’s control over Gypsy was absolute. K. Connors unpacks it all with nuance, and Foxwell's narration brings just the right amount of weight. Terrifying and important.

Captivating and Horrifying

From start to finish, I was hooked. The book reads like a thriller but is sadly all too real. It made me feel deeply for Gypsy while also questioning how society overlooks the signs of abuse. A powerful piece of storytelling.

Raw, Real, and Emotionally Wrenching

The layers of this story are unreal. The audiobook takes time to develop the psychological foundation before diving into the crime, which I appreciated. You really get to understand Gypsy’s world. Foxwell’s voice draws you in without ever feeling overly theatrical.

A Wake-Up Call About Invisible Abuse

Listening to this made me realize how abuse doesn’t always leave bruises. The manipulation and lies were horrific. K. Connors gives Gypsy a voice and dignity that she was long denied. The narration made it immersive without being overwhelming.

Shocking, Sad, and Unforgettable

Some parts were hard to listen to, especially when describing the medical procedures Gypsy endured unnecessarily. But it’s important to hear. This isn’t just true crime—it’s a story of survival. Well worth your time.

Narration Enhances a Powerful Story

A. Foxwell’s voice is calm and steady, which works well with such intense subject matter. I found myself more emotionally invested because of it. The content is disturbing, but it’s presented with care.

Horrifying Portrait of Manipulation

I had chills. Not because of the crime, but because of how long the manipulation went unchecked. This audiobook is a reminder of how psychological abuse can be just as devastating as physical abuse. A harrowing but important listen.
