Resumen del Editor

As the principal of his own law firm and known as "Mr. Condo" to his Chicago condominium clients, Donnie Rudd was at the top of his game. Charming, offbeat, and eccentric, he appeared on his own television show and taught at a local college.

But behind the public persona of a successful lawyer, Donnie Rudd's life was unraveling as police investigated the death of his second wife, the murder of a local woman, and claims of fraud by several clients. The fascinating memoir by Donnie's stepdaughters describes the chaos of life with a sociopath as the allegations of infidelity, madness, and murder against Donnie interrupt their lives again and again. The sisters recount the riveting true story of events over a span of 40 years that will leave listeners breathless and wondering how Rudd was able to evade accountability for so long. In the midst of the madness also lies a story of redemption and triumph as the family overcomes the dysfunction of their early tumultuous life.

Incredible story

Love this book, great voice and incredible story, a must for any true crime junkie

Well written and read, but a frustrating story

This is a well-written, well-read story of mind-numbing enabling. It reads as an attempt to justify why a series of people enabled and protected an psychopath throwing up red flags everywhere who - you guessed it - very obviously murdered and tortured several women over several decades. There is way too little about the psychopath’s victims and suffering and way too much justification of why his wife, and then his wife’s daughters enabled and protected him. It starts off interesting, but then frustration quickly outweighs the interesting parts.

Fasinating Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, though it broke my heart to read of the malicious damage one person could do to people in his life. It is hard to imagine Donnie was able to get away with so much and to continue on unscathed. It is an unbelievable but true story, well told.

Captivating & by far the best voice actor

I've heard the story of this man in several podcasts but none of them even skimmed the surface detailed in this book. Captivating, well written, intriguing, infuriating, & so compelling I just couldn't stop listening. I've also listened to hundreds of audiobooks with good, average, & terrible voice actors, this actor is by far the best one I've ever heard with a conversational story telling pace & intonation.
