True Crime detailing and narration at its best!

This story is a fast-paced narrative about the Watts murders. Very few words are wasted on unnecessary information about Chris’s and Shanann’s childhoods and other superfluous details. Instead, the story flows with important details which assist the reader as they eventually converge at the apex of martial & familial pathology and the dogged trappings of an extramarital affair. I could not stop listening to this book. I wish I could start it again from the beginning, being naive to the unfortunate conclusion. The male narrator has a soothing, mellifluous British accent which lends well to the slow yet effective build up of the storyline. Highly recommended!

Bought the wrong book! Oh well. This book was just so boring. Could not hold my interest.

I’m sure the story is ok. But not really a typical Ann Rule book. I don’t recommend.

I’m sure it’s a fascinating story but the narration killed it for me. Too sing song.

One of the best true crime stories I’ve ever heard. Narrated perfectly. I highly recommend this book for any true crime fan.

Wonderful, Biblical, en pointe book. The narrator is just awful. Horrible character voices and intonation is so bad.

I found this story to be very hard to pause. “Dick” is just pathological and I’m thankful she got away from him. To the author: if you’re going to interview people via phone or zoom, please secure a clear line which can amplify the voice of those interviewed. You must have known that no one could understand any part of some of these interviews.
