Horrible Narrator

I got to chapter two and stopped listening because it was so bad. I’m glad I didn’t have to use a credit!

Terrible Narration

The story was interesting but the sing-songy nature of the narration and goofy unnecessary accents were incredibly distracting.
Had it been read by Keith Morrison or with a more appropriate voice, given the nature of this story, I would of given it 5 stars.

Could have done without the impersonations

The narrator really shouldn’t be trying to mimic all these different voices. Especially DA Dumanis’s Boston accent. Ridiculous and obnoxious. I also had a hard time keeping track of so many individuals- from the killer’s extended family and acquaintances to the victims families to the law enforcement etc. just too much

San Diego County Murder

I remember living in San Diego when the murders happened. I thought it was going to be a more in depths book about the girls, finding them, and catching their killer. Until about chapter 14, the book is all about John Gardner. We listened to his life growing up, Family life, his Mental problems, etc. We didn't hear much about the girls until the last 4 hours.

Storyline follows true to record

The story added some personal background to the families and the poor girls.
The narration… I almost just said forget it I will get the book.
