It was interesting but not a compelling read. I was expecting more from the story. From the title I thought we would hear more of the murders. I was hoping the story would be a bit richer. It is suppose to be fiction based off of fact. I felt like the author was trying to make a story and state facts resulting in a book that doesn't feel satisfying in either.  I'm not sorry I read it. I just wish the author would have chosen one or the other and made a compelling story. The narrator was easy to listen to.
