Now on to my talk about it :

Like always I would like to start off by saying a big thank you to Hachette Audio, author Jane Fritsch as well as to Nita Basu and Jasmine Normall for gifted me it.And second if you've been around long enough you will know by know that I don't hardly every listing to audiobooks , and if I do then its on something that I knew I'll pick up in a heart beat that what happened here, in fact last month I didn't even do it because when I got the email from them I didn't see anything I would read, and I read just about anything that catches my eye. So this time I was like lets just go take a look and see what they have, and this time around they had not one , not two but six audio books that I would either listing to or pick up in a heartbeat , one romance, to non fictions, and three thrillers , but we're here to talk about this one first so let's get this chat started.

Like I said I love reading , watching or even listing to podcast about true crime as well as about serial killers, there just something about that makes them both in frightening and interesting at the same time . And no matter how many times I read or hear about them or cases I always learn something new. And that's what the author Jane Fritsch did with her book, she not only re introduced me to 3 of the serial killers she writes about , but also new ones that I've never heard about, which is great because when that happens it makes me want to learn more about them. And she does it in a way that its easy and simple to read and listen to , by breaking down the cases as if your in a class so its easy to understand better. As for the narrator he did an amazing job of talking you though each case , and made it ease to just set back and listing to the story, he help bring to  life not only the victims but also the time period he was talking about . If I was taking a class on true crime then I would want him as my teacher because of how he made you want to learn as much as you can about them and even more.
