Story4.5 out of 5 stars 169
In July 1965, teenagers Sylvia and Jenny Likens were left in the temporary care of Gertrude Baniszewski, a middle-aged single mother, and her seven children. The Baniszewski household was overrun with children. There were few rules and ample freedom. Sadly, the environment created a dangerous hierarchy of social Darwinism where the strong preyed on the weak. What transpired in the following three months was both riveting and chilling.

Christopher Wilder was about as bad as they get. A predator and serial killer, he first came to the attention of police in Sydney when, as a teenager in 1963, he was charged with rape. A good behaviour bond was not a deterrent, and over the years his crimes escalated. After moving to the USA in his early 20s, Wilder continued to perfect his vile and deadly trade. He was a chameleon with a modus operandi refined over the decades, luring young teenage girls with the promise of a career as a photographic model.

The local police force was not prepared for the chilling scene they were about to encounter.

Being a teenager isn't easy. Even kids who grow up in happy, loving households encounter all manner of problems during adolescence. But children who were abused, raped, bullied, mistreated or neglected during their earliest years, face the transition at an even greater disadvantage. For they not only come completely ill-prepared, but also badly scarred, and often still licking the wounds from their childhoods.

Publisher's Summary
A marriage made in hell....
Barely five feet tall, sweet and innocent looking, Charlene Gallego used all of her charms to beguile pretty teenage girls and young women into the back of a van, where her lethal husband, Gerald, lay waiting. A killer couple bound together by secrets, lies, and sex slave fantasies....
Married multiple times and still in his early 30s, Gerald Gallego found the perfect companion in Charlene. Over a grisly period of 26 months, their bloody and brutal rampage of kidnapping, rape, and murder spanned three states and claimed 11 lives.
In this much-more-frightening-than-fiction tale of domination, depraved lust, substance abuse, violence, and murder, award-winning and best-selling criminologist R. Barri Flowers tells the whole story of a couple's twisted relationship, their ghastly crimes and ability to elude the law, how they were finally captured, and the two riveting trials that ultimately pitted wife against husband, with the stakes higher than either one imagined in their murderous bond.

Save Yourself the Time and Watch the Video
I have always believed that the book is always better than the video or in this case the documentary. One of the largest reasons for this is that more information is contained in the book. I have become used to gaining a lot more info in the book. In this book I wanted to find out something new about the murders or murderers. This was not the case for the book. You could Google the same information that is in the book. I was very disappointed in this work.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money
What would have made The Sex Slave Murders better?
Actual information about the crimes not a simple recitation of well known facts and outright conjecture.
Has The Sex Slave Murders turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Yes, read too fast in many parts. Voice was not compassionate and in several instances stumbled and tried to catch her breath. Novice attempt.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Sex Slave Murders?
All of it
Any additional comments?
This was the most boring 5 hours of my life! Very disappointed in this book. Will NOT listen to another book by this author or narrator.

difficult. silly writing leads to bad book
i love to read true crime. the point of. wanting to read is the desire to know more then basic summery. this book wasn't that good. im of course familiar with the couple, but thought id get details. the writing was really bad when it came to these fictitious sounding "statements" read like quotes. it sounded like stupid generic statements someone would use in a fiction book. if they were some how direct quotes, it was never explained. just make up dialogue. ruined it and i struggled to the very end but..alas i paid for it so i finished it.
