Be prepared

I knew this book was going to be very dark and detailed. The author of this book actually Writes a warning For the sensitivity and Graphic nature of this book. Still I was not prepared For the graphic nature whatsoever whatsoever it is very detailed tailed and very Psychologically hard to read. I love true crime But this has to be one of the hardest books I've ever listened to. It has been over a week since I finished this book and I still struggle With it. So please be prepared before you start listening.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed this!

I read the reviews on this book and was skeptical to get it, but I am glad that I did.
An amazing look at this case from a different angle and Cadle speaks from such a neutral place.
I was gripped from beginning to end.

Well written but no new information

Having only listened to this book 5 years after the event and with many other sources reporting on this case I don’t feel like this book had anything new to offer. It was well written though and I like that the author came from a neutral stand point. I feel for everyone in this crime, even Chris. What he did is not excusable but I understand his feeling leading up to the murders. Although Chris doesn’t state, I believe it’s very likely Nicole knew what he did or was going to do. Hopefully new information surfaces in the future to reveal this.

nothing new here

I decided to get this audiobook as it promised some new information. But it is the exact same as all reports of this shocking case. what a horrible crimes committed upon this family can never be imagined. The narrator was ok but didn't keep me gripped. The Netflix and other documentaries on this are better than this book.

Tragic but well written

So horrific and I’ve already had a bad dream about the children. I don’t fall for the whole ‘finding god’ thing. Nobody can ever forgive what he did. The books well written in my opinion as it doesn’t seem like she’s taken in entirely by him but yeah I hope he’s haunted as he won’t live in peace unless he is entirely nuts and honestly thinks he’s godly

Victim blaming and god bothering

Ok so I got this because the case really interests me.

Couple of things, the author is very into god so a lot of this is going on about how he was possessed by dark forces and now has found god??

Secondly she says that she is not blaming the victim, and then goes on to do that at every turn painting her as a control freak who lived a fake social media life.

There is nothing here that you didn't already know aside from the letter that can be found online, this book was originally called letters from Christopher and had to be taken out of print due to plagiarism issues and the watts family saying that she twisted what was said to her, she basically admits this at the start of the book.

Interesting for his letter but not much else.

How over indulgent unapologetic and narsacistic is this....

Sorry I hated and was bored by the constant bible quotes, pontificating and behaving like an exorcist and messenger of God.
He's a killer, he has no soul as he hides behind everything. He is evil and can't deal with it.

A little too much monologue

The monologue is monotone and it gets a bit boring at times. The content is good but a lot is the author's own interpretation.

Dangers of mixing Religion with Mental Health

I understand the writer is new at this crime writing thing but please take a note lady... dont mix religion with mental health issues. Chris Watts needs to be properly evaluated by Criminal Psychologist. Anne Rule had such a great, respected and thorough writing style due to the fact she kept her spirtual beliefs out of it. I found the book to be juvenile.
