Resumen del Editor

Innocent Blood is the true story of Charles Hatcher and his life of crime - a powerful and blood-chilling glimpse into the darkness between sanity and madness. It also chronicles a justice system gone wrong. Throughout his criminal career, Hatcher was able to fool dozens of psychiatrists, who repeatedly failed to identify him as a multiple murderer. Hatcher's astonishing skill was not just in his ability to murder and escape imprisonment. He became an expert at manipulating the criminal justice system; overall, he outwitted police, prosecutors, psychiatrists, and judges in 12 cities and eight states.

Terry Ganey first covered this story as a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Later, he spent four years researching the material for this book, interviewing over 75 people and reviewing thousands of documents, court transcripts, prison files, police reports, and mental health records.

What emerges is a fascinating and horrifying portrait of a mass murderer at large in America - a murderer who could have stalked his victims in any of our towns and cities, whether urban or rural, large or small.

Contains mature themes.

very good story and narrating. quality true crime

this book was well written. the narrating was full of expression and was entertaining. some very graphic violence.

One of the best!

There be monsters out there. This is the story of one of worst. But trumping all are those who were robbed of life.

Great listen!

I enjoyed this book very much. All the pertinent information was given and it was kept interesting.

Satisfying in the end.

It’s unfortunate that our system is so inadequate and that our society is so gullible.

Truly a sick man

Another example of poor legal and health system as a total psychopath is mishandled and innocent children die because of a failed system with no one held responsible.

awesome writing, awesome story!

loved the book! I live on true crime, best story ever! well told and narrated. I recommend highly. You won't believe this story!

interesting story

I enjoyed this. I feel most intrigued over the type of investigation in the 70's versus now. if it weren't for that there would have been very little content for this book. Charles Hatcher was no doubt evil.

Narrator did a good job

He was selfish till the end, wouldn’t talk about his other victims because no one would remember them?! Made my blood boil

Interesting… bad narrator

When the reader sounds like he’s just casually talking about a walk in the park rather than a horrendous kidnapping and murder, the story loses all value. This reader sounds like a psychopath getting a thrill out of a child’s kidnapping.

Well researched, but lacks suspense.

The narrator does a fine job with what he’s been given, I just found the book to very dull.
