On the Farm by Stevie Cameron
4.0
30 hours of audiobook later. Every minute was worth it, if you're only looking for the gorey details this is not the book for you.
In-depth looks into the lives of the women who were victims and suspected victims (which reminded me a lot of The Five : the untold lives of Jack the Rippers Victims)
I absolutely hated the audiobook narrator who put on voices for different "characters" the most irritating. It really took away from the book, and I eventually switched back over to a print copy because I couldn't stand it.
My other complaint would be how harsh her comments on the police were, some of it was spot on and totally justified and acceptable, other comments like all the VPD cops were sexist racist lazy men... I think are taking things a lot too far and a lot too generally. There was one other instance of this, but I didn't bookmark it for the exact words.
I really liked learning so much about Kim Rossmo and geographical profiling.
Overall, very good reporting and writing
