Interesting listen of a serial killers beginnings and how he could have been stopped if the small town he lived in had taken his first crime seriously. There were so many people that didn't believe that he had done what he did when he was a kid and it was really never spoken about again . Why do we hide our heads in the sand when we don't want to face things. ( ) I had no idea who this serial killer was when I chose this audiobook. I actually, even with the description, didn’t realize it was true until the narrator read the part of looking him up. I did and was surprised that it wasn’t a fictional horror book. I thought it was interesting that the author went to high school with the killer, and then went back to get the story. It gave a personal touch to the town. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Brenda with the way the town appeared to embrace and cocoon her attacker. The book gives much to think about in that regard. If you read true crime, this is probably a book that will interest you. The narrator was okay. His enthusiasm kind of creeped me out at times. Other than that, he did well. The story of serial killer Danny Corwin who was convicted of murdering 3 women in Temple, Texas. (Although he murdered 6) There were early signs, but not heeded by anyone, especially his parents. The church, the town, even the mayor took Danny's side in his first attack and couldn't believe that a sweet church-going young man would do such a thing. He was executed in Texas in 1997 by lethal injection. This is a gruesome story of a serial murderer in Temple, Texas, a few hours north of where I grew up. I’ve been to most of the towns described in the story and even Mikeska’s BBQ mentioned in it, where we celebrated my husband becoming a US citizen. The rapes and murders occurred just after I graduated from high school. A bit scary in retrospect. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Best-selling author Bryan Burrough (Barbarians at the Gate, Public Enemies, Big Rich) recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer who had raped and mutilated six women, murdering three of them. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early rapes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued? Burrough is widely admired as a master storyteller, and this chilling tale raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare. This title contains mature themes, including physical and sexual violence, that some listeners may find unsettling. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
