Great listen

I seriously loved this audio book. It's done in such a way that it's not drawn out, filled with intense detail and opinions, it's short chunks make it fun, shocking and leave you to find more info or remember details from previous knowledge.
Performance was great, reminded me of a show I watched as a child. With the guy reading the storybook in velvet and creepy lighting. Super fun. But only if you love to freak yourself out with the truth of human nature.

Good variety but boring narrative

This book is good if you just want to brush lightly on a history of criminals and their deeds. The narrator was so boring and monotonous i drifted of to sleep within the first 30 mins. I attempted again the following night and just couldn't put myself through this . Educational, but lack of expression and direction, did not encourage me to keep listening . Did not finish this.

You won't regret buying it.

Heaps of short but well read crime stories.
A audio book you can play over and hear new stuff you missed prior.

Oh dear

I love the collection of stories, but the mispronunciations are abundant. Makes it somewhat hard to listen to.
