About this listen

Eleven murders over a period of four years sent shockwaves through the Krugersdorp community and made headlines nationwide. Eventually these murders were connected to Cecilia Steyn and her cult, Electus per Deus (chosen by God). Members of the cult were willing to do anything for Cecilia - even if it meant committing murder.

Who is Cecilia Steyn? How can one person manipulate five others to commit murder and perjury on her behalf? How did Satanism contribute to all of this? How did inexperienced criminals manage to evade capture for so long?

Jana Marx answers these and other questions in this true-crime account that led to one of the most sensational murder cases in the country’s history. Through interviews with those in the inner circle, evidence given in court and police files covering a period of four years, Marx attempts to answer the public’s questions and provide a view of the inner workings of such a cult.

Narrated and produced by Nicole Engelbrecht.

I like true crime but I found this book hard to get into. I struggled a bit with the South African accent, at times, but overall it was good. I can’t believe how ineffectual the Sth African police seemed to be for most of the book. No wonder they got away with so much.

Bit Monotonous

I normally love this genre however this was easily the worst book, badly written and horribly performed. Far too much insignificant detail almost to the point of describing the weather, dining options and the colour of the sky. Get to the point already.. To top it off, I have never heard such a monotone narration in all my time. I do not recommend this book in any way shape or form.

Terrible Book.

This book made sense of a very chaotic and crazy line of events. The news didn't do justice to the victims the way that the author did in her writing. The narration was clear and easy to listen.
