Story4 out of 5 stars 58
In 1991, flight attendant Nancy Ludwig checked in to an airport hotel near Detroit. The next morning she was found gagged, raped, and tortured - her throat slit with such rage that she was nearly decapitated. Her husband Arthur never gave up hope that the future would bring enough evidence to close the case. But it was the past that held the clue. In 1985, 55-year-old Margarette Eby, a music professor, met the same grisly death at her cottage in Flint, Michigan. The case went cold - until six years later when the victim's son Mark came upon the story of Nancy Ludwig's slaying.

In the Name of the Children gives an unflinching look at what it's like to fight a never-ending battle against an enemy far more insidious than terrorists: the predators, lurking amongst us, who seek to harm our children. During his 30-year career with the FBI, Jeff Rinek worked hundreds of investigations involving crimes against children: from stranger abduction to serial homicide to ritualized sexual abuse. Those who do this kind of work are required to plumb the depths of human depravity, to see things no one should ever have to see - and once seen can never forget.

Publisher's Summary
The fatal night
On a warm Florida evening, Karen Gregory saw a familiar face at her door. What the beautiful young woman could not know was that she was staring into the eyes of her killer - a savage monster who would rape her, stab her to death, and leave her battered body on the floor outside the bedroom.
The desperate search
Detectives frantically sifting through the evidence were tormented by one disturbing question after another: What did the strangely worded note from a friend mean? Why was the house so orderly, when it had been the scene of a frenzied struggle? Why were the bloody footprints on the carpet barefoot? What happened to the white lace teddy missing from Karen's drawer?
The shattering discovery
Police detective Larry Tosi stayed up nights watching the video of the grisly crime scene, looking for the one telltale clue that would lead him to Karen's killer - until slowly, and with growing horror, he realized that the maniac he was hunting was someone he knew...someone he called a friend.

Great Writing
The great writing in this book pulled me right through it. Each step builds up to the next, with just enough context to tie it all together without bogging down. I felt like I was part of the investigation. The author revealed clues without clobbering me over the head with them, and when they reappeared later in the story I felt like I was solving the puzzle myself. After finishing the book I wasn't surprised to find out the author is an award-winning journalist.
I got this book cheap with a Whispersync deal so my expectations were low, but I really enjoyed it and would not have regretted spending a credit on it.
The narrator does a perfect job.

Author won a Pulitzer for crime writing
Thomas French of the St. Petersburg Times won the 1998 Newspaper Feature Writing Pulitzer for his detailed and compassionate narrative portrait of a mother and two daughters slain on a Florida vacation, and the three-year investigation into their murders.Unanswered Cries follows in that tradition. No made-up quotes. Facts. No over-the-top descriptions. Facts. What a relief. Facts.

A very good crime book
I normally listen to true crime podcasts as I find full books to be a bit tedious; however, this book kept my attention throughout.
It is very well written and narrated. Also, it was a fascinating case which made a lot of important points along the way, including everything from racism to the bloated court system.
I found it particularly disturbing how so many supported the killer. "We know he was incapable of such things." People say the silliest things.
Thankfully Karen's family and friends were noble and courageous people, as were the prosecution and detective teams.

I Expected To Like This Book
Based on the reviews, I expected to like this book but it fell short of a compelling read. Although the author wove together an excellent account of the events of the murder and the effect it had on the families and friends of the victim and the accused, the book lacked passion. The author did reveal the real workings of the criminal justice system, which was enlightening and unsettling at times. I am pleased I stuck with it because the victim and the people whose lives were shattered deserved their story being heard.

Excellent Book
I really enjoyed this book. It is full of frustration and anger. Clearly the miscreant that killed the victim received the correct punishment and, as it turns out, even more. However, I just have to wonder why the criminal justice system is such a big game?
One last thing. The defense attorney is C R Solino. I don’t get why this man’s name was said at least 5,000 times!!! I wanted to scream!!! This really took away from the story, so much so that I took a star away fro performance and overall.

real life courtroom procedure <br />
brilliantly read. I struggle with the repetition of some footage, but particularly at the early stage when one person said " this murder was not special only one person, noone special or famous...it makes US public look like life is cheap and murder is no big deal...a real insight. hope this is just the authors angle and not a general viewpoint!!
