Story
Joyce Aparo seemed to be the perfect single mother. She doted on her sixteen-year-old daughter, Karin, encouraging her musical ability and lavishing affection on her. But behind closed doors, Joyce was a terror. For thirteen years, she beat Karin savagely and demeaned her relentlessly. When Karin met the troubled yet brilliant Dennis Coleman, the two fell head-over-heels. But Joyce disapproved—so she had to die.

Story
Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion.

Roger and Penny Scaggs seemed a poster couple for family values. Evangelical Christians living in booming Austin, Texas, in the mid-1990s, they were respected leaders in their church and community. As Roger diligently worked his way up the high-tech corporate ladder, Penny kept a pristine home and coached similarly devout young women on how to be perfect wives. But on a windy March evening, this godly woman met the devil head-on.

American Ripper is the true story of Gerard John Schaefer, a Florida law enforcement officer who was a prolific serial killer in the late 1960s early 1970s. The decade that was thought to be filled with love, peace, and happiness became a new dark age, breeding more serial killers than any other time in US history including Charles Manson, the Zodiac Killer, the Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy, who was held in the same prison as Schaefer and whom he both idolized and resented for the recognition his crimes brought him, a recognition Schaefer never received.

For years, Eddie Lee Sexton ruled his large family like Charles Manson. The depraved patriarch dominated his ragged brood of twelve children mentally, physically, and sexually, and enforced every cruelty imaginable, from vicious beatings to raping his daughters and fathering their children. Finally, in 1992, Sexton's eighteen-year-old daughter Machelle, seeking refuge in a women's shelter, revealed the shocking, sordid details of her father's abuse to authorities. As the law attempted to catch up to Eddie Lee Sexton, he moved his family to a mobile home in western Florida.

On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed "The Angel of Death" by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

On March 26, 2018, rescue workers discovered a crumpled SUV and the bodies of two women and several children at the bottom of a cliff beside the Pacific Coast Highway. Investigators soon concluded that the crash was a murder-suicide, but there was more to the story: Jennifer and Sarah Hart, it turned out, were a white married couple who had adopted the six Black children from two different Texas families in 2006 and 2008. Behind the family's loving facade, however, was a pattern of abuse and neglect that went ignored.

A Remarkable Achievement

Publisher's summary
Gosnell is the untold story of America's most prolific serial killer. In 2013, Dr. Kermit Gosnell was convicted of killing four people, including three babies, but is thought to have killed hundreds, perhaps thousands more in a 30-year killing spree. ABC News correspondent Terry Moran described Gosnell as "America's most prolific serial killer". Gosnell is currently serving three life sentences (without the possibility of parole) for murdering babies and patients at his "House of Horrors" abortion clinic.
This book - and now a major movie starring Dean Cain (Lois & Clarke) - reveals how the investigation that brought Gosnell to justice started as a routine drugs investigation and turned into a shocking unmasking of America's biggest serial killer. It details how compliant politicians and bureaucrats allowed Dr. Gosnell to carry out his grisly trade because they didn't want to be accused of "attacking abortion". Gosnell also exposes the media cover-up that saw reporters refusing to cover a story that shone an unwelcome spotlight on abortion in America in the 21st century. Gosnell is an astounding piece of investigative journalism revealing a cover-up among the medical political and media establishments that allowed a killer to go undetected for decades.

Difficult But Important
This book is not for everyone. The authors are very honest about what Kermit Gosnell, and what Gosnell did went far beyond abortion. He murdered and decimated. If you are uncomfortable with Ed Gein’s story, do not read this book, for Gosnell was the same type of hoarder.
This book was finely investigated, so I only deduct one star for these reasons:
* the unnecessary, in my opinion, long chapter lecturing the reader on proper journalistic practices. It’s near the end of the book, so by the time it is reached, I as the reader have the full picture of the bizarre news dodge of this story. I don’t need a mini journalism class to drive it home.
* the occasional use of “pro-abortion” in place of “pro-choice” in general (the only person I have run across who is truly pro-abortion is Dr. Gosnell, for pro- implies enthusiasm, gusto); and, in companion with this, the introduction written by a member of the Duck Dynasty family. This case is so vile, it didn’t need to be politicized at all, in any way. Just tell the reader what Gosnell, his wife, and his staff did. You’ll probably change a lot of minds on abortion. I think these leans of bias make the annoyance of the lesson of the unbiased Fourth Estate stronger. To truly make this point, the book should have carried absolutely no agenda—including no biased language (a no-no in basic journalism) and no biased celebrity endorsement.
I can’t say this enough: this is an important case, and, despite its above flaws, an important book. But I am going to type a phrase below that was in the crime scene report about Ed Gein, and please let it be your litmus test for whether or not you should read this book.
That phrase is: cup of noses

"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
What did you like best about Gosnell? What did you like least?
Interesting detail on "America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
There was no real ending.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The author should have never read this. Too biased, with an agenda to push. Oh and did I mention she says:
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
"America's Most Prolific Serial Killer"
Over and over and over?
Any additional comments?
Honestly, if the author removed the overly used phrase "America's Most Prolific Serial Killer" this book would be an hour or two shorter. I found myself interested in hearing more about Dr. Gosnell, but really grew to dislike the author's biased, agenda pushing narrative. This book would be far more interesting and powerful if the facts were layout and the listener was allowed to navigate it.

I don't think there has been a word created yet that adequately described the rage this book invokes. I am not a pro-lifer per se, nor am I religious (atheist. in fact)...but you'd have to be made of stone for this book not to affect you.

A story worth telling
For some time I have searched the web for info on this case. Most articles I have found repeat the same few facts about the case. It was not enough for me. This book contains all of the details I have found and much more.
"A small town crime story" says a member of the media. This makes it sound common place. Maybe it meant the lives and demise of these victims were unremarkable. I surely hope not. If this can be wrote off as "a small town crime story" I worry about what else is deemed unworthy of national news attention. Some say public attention or what they believe wil grab the public's attention is what detremines what becomes national news. I hope this book becomes a best seller so the media recalculates what matters.
It was the uncomfortable silence surrounding the case and that the victims deserved to have their stories heard that has kept me searching for more information until now.

Gosnell book a must read!!!
I saw the movie at a sneak peek viewing in South Dakota and was amazed at the quality, content and professionalism of the movie. Truly a must see when it comes out in the spring!!!Purchased the book at the movie viewing and downloaded it as well. The book is powerful, eye opening, intriguing and most of all, disturbing that on so many levels this sick man, so-called "Doctor", was able to continue his killing spree for so many years with out oversight or reporting by so many people and government agencies. The system failed to protect the women seeking abortions, and the babies were treated inhumanly and with no respect. People failed to admit that what was going on at 3801 Lancaster Avenue was not only against many laws but morally repugnant!! Get your hands on this book now! Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer are so talented . Ann tells this gruesome story with the emotion and first hand knowledge of what happened. That makes it even more intriguing. You don't want to stop listening once you start. Read it and tell others to do the same!

One of the most heart breaking books ever
I loved this book... though at times I'd cry, my jaw would drop, or I'd be filled with rage or disgust. My heart broke time and again listening to what happened. The most terrifying thing is... this is a true story. It actually happened and it's a horror story that'll definitely touch a nerve.

From Philadelphia
Great to hear about this story since I am a local. I am kind of upset because the writer seems very pro-life. That is fine with me however I feel that should have been left out. I don't care what people's views are and really disliked hearing about it every few minutes. Over all the story was good. I have not seen the movie.

Preachy
It’s a fascinating case but it was hard to focus on the actual story bc there was so much pro-life rhetoric. About a third of this book is just talking about how abortion is murder. I don’t think the guy qualifies as a serial killer, but I’m willing to overlook that specific issue.

An important telling of a court case
Despite arguments that this was indictment abortion or pro choice, that is not what this book is. It is a reverting examination into a heart of a man who appears to be have developed a God Complex. How he swiftly threw his medical knowledge into a drawer somewhere & took up the practice being a common butcher.
The most damning thing about this case is the years & lives lost because of PA Dept of Health just checked the boxes on state inspections decades before & then never once looked back despite multiple red flags.

Fascinating and very listenable.
This book, and its narration by co-author Ann McElhinney achieves the impossible - writing dramatic the highly disturbing story of America's worst ever serial killer in such a humane and sympathetic manner that both satisfies and educates the listener.
This is a story of criminal neglect by government that ended in the killing and maiming of vulnerable women and the murder of their newborn children, and how the abortion industry and its apologists sought to cover it all up. It is a story that has everything.

A story that has to be told but be warned this isn't for everyone!
This is such a shocking story that has to be told and acknowledged by more people! BUT and this is a very big but, the graphic content is a very hard listen and I couldn't finish the book because of this. I do acknowledge the subject is very dark, with the criminal neglect making an even darker read, but as someone who has read a lot of true crime novels
this is the first I've ever decided not to finish because of the content.

Heartbreaking 😔 Powerful
I had heard of this gosnell case through brief mentions on crime podcasts I have listened to. I decided to do this Audible version first, instead of the film.
I listened in shock from start to finish!!
The narrator was wonderful! I could hear the emotion in her voice!!
Kermit Gosnell is pure and utter scum, and there is a special place in hell waiting for him!!
forever rest in paradise to the women who sadly lost their lives, especially to those beautiful babies! Too precious for this earth! ❤

A gruesome saga that everyone should know about...
it's about time a book like this has come out. The pro abortion media hardly ever touches on the gruesome and brutal reality of abortion . Even in this extreme case of haphazard murdering of 1000s of babies over a 30 year period; largely unreported by authorities; it beggars belief that the mainstream media still hasn't reported the significance of case given killers like Ted Bundy " only" killed 20 or so human beings. it's about time a book like this has come out and was made into a documentary movie. It still deserves more attention and reflection though. The only comment I have about the audio book is the tone in it's narration...understandably it's an emotive issue, but at various times there was a judgmental tone used by the narrator which I think was probably unnecessary. For the most part it was a good clinical narration and that would have been enough to bring home the message ... that the man was a serial killer ... nuff said ... Highly recommend .... you won't be able to put it down (so to speak). And share with friends after you finish, the message needs to get out about the brutal nature of abortion.

Hard to listen to.
While hard to listen to it details the horrible reality of abortion, bureaucratic incompetence but also the pursuit of truth and justice. The child murder industry is a stain on society and should be ended, and just because it’s legal (in some places) doesn’t make it right. I can’t help but think; how many mor Gosnells are out there still practicing?

Story
Not since The Thin Blue Line has there been a true-crime saga as engrossing as Making a Murderer. Captivating audiences across demographic lines, it made Steven Avery a household name and thrust defense attorney Jerome F. Buting - and his fight against America's dysfunctional criminal justice system - into the spotlight. In Illusion of Justice, Buting uses the Avery case as a springboard to examine the shaky integrity of our law enforcement and legal systems, which he has witnessed firsthand for nearly four decades.

“Free the West Memphis Three!” - maybe you’ve heard the phrase, but do you know why their story is so alarming? Do you know the facts? The guilty verdicts handed out to three Arkansas teens in a horrific capital murder case were popular in their home state - even upheld on appeal. But after two HBO documentaries called attention to the witch-hunt atmosphere at the trials, artists and other supporters raised concerns about the accompanying lack of evidence.

Story
In 2007, Dr. Martin MacNeill - a doctor, lawyer, and Mormon bishop - discovered his wife of 30 years dead in the bathtub of their Pleasant Grove, Utah, home, her face bearing the scars of a facelift he had persuaded her to undergo just a week prior. At first the death of 50-year-old Michele MacNeill, a former beauty queen and mother of eight, appeared natural. But days after the funeral, when Dr. MacNeill moved his much younger mistress into the family home, his children grew suspicious.

Story
Early on the morning of February 17, 1970, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, a Green Beret doctor named Jeffrey MacDonald called the police for help. When the officers arrived at his home they found the bloody and battered bodies of MacDonald's pregnant wife and two young daughters. The word "pig" was written in blood on the headboard in the master bedroom. As MacDonald was being loaded into the ambulance, he accused a band of drug-crazed hippies of the crime.
