Summary

Why do serial killers kill?

Out of the Mouths of Serial Killers is as close as you will ever come to discovering the answer...and in the killer’s own words!

In this one-of-a-kind audiobook, author Mary Brett corresponded with some of America’s most evil convicted serial killers and asked just one question: ​Why? Their return letters give an insightful look into the dark mind of each killer. The listener also will be able to scrutinize direct quotes, unedited, from ​interrogation statements, trial testimony, media interviews, and parole hearing inquests.

More than 70 serial killers are included in the audiobook, some only known to the unfortunate victims’ family, friends, and community, while others are the most infamous in the annals of serial killers. All bios feature the crime, the capture, the victims, and background facts.

Worst type of journalism

The journalism is terrible here. A few letters from killers refusing to take part in her project. Badly researched and biased. No follow up to any letter is published. The whole thing leads to a tirade on why the death penalty is a good idea.

tabloidy, lightweight

I don't care for the sing-song style of narration, nor the '6 kills, 17 kills' subtitling. This book is a kind of top ten of serial killers, with little insight into why?
Criminal Shadows is better.

So-so

Short bursts of info about serial killers, which you could mostly read in Wikipedia. Was a freebie and the narrations good. I wouldn’t use a credit on it.
