Haunting and heartbreaking, but lacking the darker details of the murders. This book nstead shows the socio-economic aspects of Texas, the investigation (or lack thereof), and the strength and resolve of those families impacted by the deaths of loved boys. However, the foul creature that was Dean Corll is not sufficiently shown in my opinion, but rather the few positive traits he had and the mask he wore.

Overall quite good.

gotta say I'm an absolute huge fan of Kevin Pierce the narrator but I was disappointed the story was very bland and uninteresting no details of a single murder of any of those boys or how they came to be in the murderous presence how he was kidnapping them how he was killing them nothing just nothing.

Overly descripted. Horrible accent, doesn’t take a breath, it would be a great listen if your an insomniac , you would want it to finish so you could go to sleep

Horrible
