Publisher's summary

In 1938, at the height of the Great Depression, a madman hunts his victims through the hobo jungles of Cleveland, terrorizing the city. Ethel Harding, a prostitute struggling to survive both the cold streets and the Torso Killer, takes refuge with a devout missionary sect - only to find that its righteous facade conceals the darkest of secrets.

Sixty years later, the police find the butchered body of Alfred Wiley in the woods. But before his daughter, Kris, can even identify the remains, things he never told her begin to surface one by one - a mysterious private eye who'd been tracking him, an eerie website devoted to the unsolved "Torso" murders, missing archives, stolen books, and an abandoned Bible factory harboring vagrants. The more she learns about her father's obsession with the Torso Killer, the more Alfred's death appears to be related, pulling Kris further into Cleveland's hellish past.

Living decades apart, Ethel and Kris must unravel the truth behind the city's most notorious serial killer...or die trying.

Awesome book!

I love the way this author tells the story from 2 different aspects and time frames. It kept me engaged and guessing til the very end. Very nice twist at the end!

It was ok

Honestly, the story is good. The performance- she did ok with different voices, but she’d get super quiet and then wicked loud. Very hard to listen to while driving.

DM Pulley fan!

I’m a big fan of DM Pulley! This book was just as good as her others!

I enjoyed the narration... but I did have one complaint. I found that when she used her quiet tone, I had to turn the volume way up to hear her. Then when she returned to normal tone it was too loud, and I had to lower the volume. This didn’t happen too often, but often enough that it was a little annoying.

Captivating story,

Very poor narration with accents and trying to sound different voices. Great plot and ending.

Good story,. Road trip worthy

It's worth a credit. There were some issues I had with the book. Some inaccuracies about the baptism of Jesus, a bit too realistic details from the point of view of a rape victim, and very southern accents for almost every resident of Ohio, as far north as Cleveland.

That aside, the story kept me glued to my device. When I read reviews, I want to know if it was interesting or the purchase was regretted. Yes, interesting, no buyer's remorse over the purchase, and I didn't feel as though I wanted to fast forward through lengthy boring descriptive writing.
