Story
The most common triggers for homicide are fear, rage, revenge, money, lust, and, more rarely, sheer madness. This isn’t an exact science, of course. Any given murder can have multiple triggers. Sex and revenge seem to be common partners in crime. This book offers my memories of homicide cases that I investigated or oversaw. In each case, I examine the trigger that led to death. I chose this theme for the book because even though the why of a murder case may not be critical in an investigation, it can sometimes lead us to the killer.

I order another bourbon, neat. This is the drink that will flip the switch. I don’t even know how I got here, to this place, to this point. Something is happening to me lately. I’m drinking too much. My sheets are soaking wet when I wake up from nightmares of decaying corpses. I order another drink and swig it, trying to forget about the latest case I can’t shake. Crime solving for me is more complex than the challenge of the hunt, or the process of piecing together a scientific puzzle. The thought of good people suffering drives me to the point of obsession.

Eight true crime stories of murder and mayhem. In my first audiobook as a true crime author I've started with a few of the stories that have haunted me for some time. Some of these stories are unbelievable in their brutality while others are astounding in the stupidity of the killers. This collection of stories are from all around the globe and have no common thread between them other than that they are both thought provoking and disturbing. The stories included in this anthology are dark and creepy and will leave you with a new understanding of just how fragile the human mind can be.

John Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women. With a deep sense of compassion for the victims and an uncanny understanding of the perpetrators, Douglas looks at the obsessions that lead to rape, stalking, and sexual murder through such cases as Ronnie Shelton, the serial rapist who terrorized Cleveland; and New York's notorious "Preppie Murder". But Douglas also looks at obsession on the other side of the moral spectrum: his own career-long obsession with hunting these predators.

For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

The pitch went like this: Chris Butler, a retired cop, ran a private investigator firm in Concord, California. His business had a fascinating angle - his firm was staffed entirely by soccer moms. In fact, Butler employed PI Super Moms: attractive, organized, smart, and trained in investigative techniques, self-defense, and weaponry. This American Life host Ira Glass described them as "MILF: Charlie's Angels." When this story came across Pete Crooks's desk when he was working at Diablo magazine in 2010, he was instantly hooked.

The horrific and disturbing nature of these stories often makes you question everything you thought or believed about humanity. Yet they are engaging and fascinating at the same time. We all had evil thoughts throughout our lives. What is it that makes us different from those who actually act upon it? Is it the act alone? These are questions that many ask themselves, and these stories will help dig into the elements and psychology behind some of the most terrifying killers in history.

I Heart Kenda!
I'm an all things Joe Kenda addict. Snatched up this book as quickly as possible because I can never get enough. It's better than the TV series. He's much more real and discusses many other parts of his life, which only make me love him more. He has a genuine, down to earth way of telling you the brutal life of an officer and crime. If you are already a fan, stop everything and read this now. If you aren't, it may not be your thing, however, if you like crime mysteries, police procedurals, and/or gritty guys you will like this book.

He reminds me of a modern day John Wayne in the way he expreesses things.I know alot of people may wander , Can all of them Bizarre stories really happen. The Answer is YES. LT. Kendra makes me proud to have served my life in Law Enforcement. Yes We old timers have the nightmares that bother us and will forever, but we also have times on the Job when we make such a difference in helping people that it makes the nightmares worth it. I recommend this to everyone both New Police Officers and non Police Officers. You will learn what a Veteran Law Man will experience and That all guys with a badge are not Evil racist Thugs.

Typical Kenda! Veryv
As a long standing fan of his TV show I bought both the Kindle book and the Audible Book. This is Kenda at his best. Several of his stories i recognized the TV episode. Many of his stories i recognized them from news coverage. I live in Denver area and so many made the local news here. I must admit that I have a school girl crush on the actor who portrays him in the TV series. Would like to read more about his private life and his wife, Kathy. She obviously spent a lot of time waiting for him to come home each day. Kenda is definitely one of a kind and a dedicated law enforcement officer. He solved more than he didn't. A cop"s cop. If you are a fan of his series you'll love this book. I'm very pleased that he has narrated the book himself.

A wonderful view into and through the eyes of Lt Joe Kenda
I Purchased this book as an audio book. It is by my standards, the only way to understand it correctly. The voice of Joe Kenda, accents his life and experiences like it could only be done. I will listen to it again I am sure. There is something to be learned and taken away from this mans life experiences. I would strongly recommend bracing yourself. I would go from tears rolling down my face to laughing out loud. An emotional rollercoaster. Very nicely done Joe and thank you so much for sharing your life stories. Would truly enjoy meeting you and just getting another life lesson.

Worth the listen!
I bought both the hardcover and the audio book. I wasn't given anything by the publisher or anyone else to write this review nor a discount of any kind. I hate those reviews because I always felt it skewed the ratings. This Is an unbiased review from a customer (myself) who has no obligation, affiliation or connection with the story other than having purchased the book.
I saw a commercial for Homicide Hunter and determined that I wasn't interested in watching. Yet one day, Investigation Discovery was on the T.V. and I was preoccupied doing something else while Homicide Hunter was ongoing in the background since I hadn't yet changed the channel. I found that I had rushed to judgment and found myself glued to the story. As I listened to Lt. Kenda, I felt as though I was listening to stories from an intelligent man who reminded me of a grandfather figure. He can seem a bit dry or cold at first but has a good sense of humor, and is very wise, not to mention passionate about his former work as a policeman. I became an instant fan.
The audio book is read by Lt. Kenda and has the same feeling of the show. If you watch the show, Lt. doesn't use a script, so for the first chapter, it sounded unusually rehearsed. However, as he proceeded to speak about his life, it became more relaxed. I found myself listening intently to everything he had to say. I couldn't put it down.
I had listened to the entire book the day of its release. I had initially anticipated it being more of a detailed analysis of all of his cases. While he touches on many cases, he doesn't detail all 387. I was left wanting more, although there is no shortage of details regarding what is addressed. Hopefully, this opens the door to a second book. Of course, he spoke of his family and experiences and that enriched the story. It is a memoir, after all.
There is some profanity as well as gruesome details regarding the murders or abuse of children and other assaults. It is not for the faint of heart. He also covers topics like crime scene investigation, interrogation techniques, and his haunting nightmares, among other things that you'll have to give it a listen/read to find out.
As usual, the Lt. tells it how it is and doesn't shy away from anything. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and my largest complaint is that there are no book signings in my area but that's neither here nor there. I'm very pleased with this purchase and you will be too!
Worth the read/listen for anyone fascinated by true crime.

The most enjoyable book I've read in years
This book filled with true and terrible crime turned out to be a great read. I'm so glad that the writer narriated the book himself and included light hearted comments to ease the sadness of the cases he worked. I especially liked his inclusion of his wife and how she managed to keep the marriage together. She, too had a demanding job.
Murder kills more than the immediate victim. Speaking from experence the murderer destroys the entire family along with friendships. There is never just one victim.
My thanks to Dective Kendra for his years of service and for sharing his experiences along with the personal trama of letting go and starting over. Also thanks for a great TV series

It grew on me ...
Not ever seeing Lt. Kenda's television show, I was not sure what to expect nor did I have any prior bias. But 'true detective' stories are intriguing and as someone who lived in Colorado Springs, I just had to give it a listen. It was a difficult as Lt. Kenda's story telling style with his cadence, inflections, and language (sarcasm) interfered with the stories ... in the beginning. I persevered since the stories were based in the Front Range and then ... he grew on me. By the end, I wished the book was longer and I hope there is another in the works. I now may have to start watching his TV series.
Thank you, Lt. Kenda, for your service and making Colorado Springs safer.

A GREAT LISTEN - OUTSTANDING!
I am a lover of true crime books. I WILL FIND YOU gives the listener a very rare intimacy with the author. This is one of my favorite true crime books I have in my library. It was impossible for me to put it down.
I have never watched the television show or heard of Joe Kenda before this listen. (No media influence here) Kenda is not only an excellent story teller, but a fun humorist. If I had the chance to meet an author in this genre, Mr. Kenda would be at the top of my list. If you want to know more about the horrifying human condition including the strange hard to believe behaviors people are capable of DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK NOW! It is not for listeners that have queasy stomachs...very gory at times, but also extremely funny. For those that have a strange sense of humor and a love for true crime stories, this book is for you. I loved it! Steve

Outstanding autobiography
An authoritative account of the dark, and bright, side of life. An honest and brave self-evaluation. I especially enjoyed the contrast of working with evil and then special needs kids. Finally, the anecdotal ending (the tank delivery) moved me to tears.

Better than the series!
Been in contact with Joe Kenda via e-mail for over 2 years! He sent me a signed pre release hard cover copy! Bought the audio book- just raised the book another level!

Enthralling!
I've been a Homicide Hunter fan for a while and was so pleased to hear this audio book. It was extremely insightful and delved into the more horrific crimes Lt Kenda dealt with during his police career and his more personal thoughts and feelings. As stated, I was enthralled from start to finish!
I would also like to say I enjoyed his telling of the story very much. He has such a pleasant and calming voice. I look forward to his next audio book.

Better Than The Series
More detailed and personal than the TV show, with plenty of Joe’s trademark humour and cynicism. We even get to ‘meet’ Mrs Kenda and the kids. Finished it in one session and will probably listen again.

My no.1 book on audible. Loved it!
More detail and meaning than Homicide Hunter TV series. Joe does a great job at narrating. God only knows how he copes with the gob smacking events described.
Did not realise how bad some people are.
3rd time listened to in a week.
Still thinking about what the grandad said to Joe on his last day.. what a sick s.o.b!
Joe, you are a legend and I hope your retirement will bring you and your family peace. 10/10

Legendary detective and his story
If you’ve worked in Kenda’s occupation for a lengthy period of time, it’s a tough book to listen to at times. Graphic recollections of incidents aren’t the really scary parts of this book. Rather it’s the long term impact it has on kenda and cops just like him. Kenda is a committed man of the law who sees it as a genuine struggle to bring down the bad guys. His commitment is undeniable and nor are his results. I’m stunned at the number of murders in Colorado Springs. I’m stunned at the number of autopsies kenda went to.
I highly rate this book. Some of the time when an author narrates their own work the outcome isn’t the best but kenda nails it from start to finish.

exceptional
A captivating look into the life of a veteran homicide detective, a must read for any crime buffs. This book had me hooked from start to finish. My hat is off to Joe for creating a comprehensive look into his Policing career, sharing the good the bad, and the ugly.

LOVED IT.
Absolutely loved this book. Written well and found the nartors (authours) voice relaxing. Literally laughed out loud on several occasions with his dry sense of humor. Truly my favourite book so far.

Captivated
I regularly watch the TV programme of Mr Kender and love it. This book is every part as engaging as the programme & hearing him tell his story has captivated me completely for the last week . Thank you for your service and your willingness to share it. Enjoy your retirement.
