I finished the book, which would usually rate it at least 3 stars. I just can't bring myself to rate this book that high, though, because it is so dry. I was expecting more detail, but the book is little more than boring facts, one after the other. There's no excitement, no drama. Contrary to the title, it isn't terrifying; it's boring.
My other pet peeve is the way the author included the Czech words with the English translation. I doubt many readers understand Czech, so those sentences serve as nothing more than filler.

I could have done with A LOT more detail about the offshoot sect of the grail movement.
I listened to this book with an Audible copy given to me from the author for review purposes.
The author gives a warning at the beginning of the book. I have read a number of both true crime and horror books. I thought it was a good warning for readers who are new to the genre. I guess I didn't pay enough attention though. This book is everything he warned about. I read true crime because the human mind fascinates me. I want to to know the why. I want to understand. I believe that is key to changing things. This case, though, truly horrified me.
It is, in my opinion, well written. The author has the facts and was able to put everything out there. I liked the narrator. I felt that the way he read was fitting for the book he was reading. I don't know how he did it. I don't believe I could read this book aloud. It was difficult enough for me to listen to it. If you don't know the case pay attention to its description and the warning. If you, like me, are interested in the mind, both good and bad, then this case will interest you. I don't recommend it for everyone. I had to stop listening and go watch a couple Disney princess movies followed by some fun dog videos. Even then I was haunted by the case.
