Serial Killer or Hit-Man?: The Iceman, Richard Kuklinski

By: Brian Lee Tucker

Narrated by: Joe Massa

Length: 2 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's Summary

“I didn't quite understand what was going on until I saw him die in front of me. His body just lay there, without moving. I called out to him several times, but to no success. He was dead. Now I knew I was next. I knew my daddy would make sure I couldn't tell what really happened.” 

So says Richard Kuklinski, better known as the Iceman. The devil himself. The monster, in describing his younger brother's death at the hands of their drunken, abusive father. 

Richard would go on to kill more than 125 people - some just for fun. Another prime example of our own society - sometimes beginning at home, with one's own parents - creating our own monsters, serial killers. 

Some would call Richard Kuklinksi a “hit man", while others would refer to him as one of the prolific serial murderers of our time. Or was he both? Did he suffer from antisocial and paranoid personality disorder, or was he, as some experts say, just born to kill? Born with an “evil gene” in his blood?

Factually incorrect

Read like a comic book... many factual errors. Much better books on the subject available.

serial killer or hit man

The narration of this book was hard to listen to it would have been much better with someone else narrating it ,some of the information was incorrect and he pronounced several words incorrectly

Enjoyable listen, but factually incorrect

It is certainly an interesting book, however it is (somewhat) factually incorrect. It talks about events that didn't happen.

Certainly enjoyable to listen to but I dont feel there was any real need to make up information when there is already a huge list of incidents to talk about.

Excellent.

Great read although delivery not quite as raw as it should be.Listening to the ice man tapes reader should have been more tougher.
