Story
Few serial killers in history have garnered as much attention as Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Although Dahmer killed 17 young men and boys, it was not so much the number of people he killed that makes him stand out among famous serial killers, but more so the acts of depravity that he committed on the corpses of his victims. In this true crime story, you will listen to how Dahmer transitioned from a loner to serial killer, committing numerous unnatural acts along the way such as necrophilia and cannibalism.

He remained on the loose for 30 years.

In the late hours of July 22, 1991, Detective Patrick "Pat" Kennedy of the Milwaukee Police Department was asked to respond to a possible homicide. Little did he know that he would soon be delving into the dark mind of one of America's most notorious serial killers, the "Milwaukee Cannibal", Jeffrey Dahmer. Kennedy spent the next six weeks locked in an interrogation room with Dahmer. There, the killer described in lurid detail how he lured 17 young men to his apartment, where he strangled, sexually assaulted, dismembered, and in some cases, cannibalized his victims.

For 31 years, a monster terrorized the residents of Wichita, Kansas. A bloodthirsty serial killer, self-named "BTK" - for "bind them, torture them, kill them" - he slaughtered men, women, and children alike, eluding the police for decades while bragging of his grisly exploits to the media.

Written by four award-winning crime reporters who covered the story for more than 20 years, Bind, Torture, Kill is the most intimate and complete account of the BTK nightmare

In 1981, Peter Sutcliffe, the "Yorkshire Ripper", was convicted of 13 murders and seven attempted murders. All his proven victims were women; most were prostitutes. There is a still-secret story of how Sutcliffe's terrible reign of terror claimed at least 22 more lives and left five other victims with terrible injuries. Police and prosecution authorities have long known that Sutcliffe's reign of terror was far longer and far more widespread than the public has been led to believe. But the evidence has been locked away in the files and archives.

Publisher's Summary
One night in July 1991, two policemen saw a man running handcuffed from the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer. Investigating, they made a gruesome discovery: three human skulls in Dahmer’s refrigerator and the body parts of at least 11 more people scattered throughout the apartment. Shortly after, Milwaukee Journal reporter Anne E. Schwartz received a tip that would change her life.
This book spans the entire Dahmer case; Schwartz, who broke the story, details it all: the dramatic scene in Dahmer’s apartment and the shocking story that unfolded; how forensics and old-fashioned police work identified the victims; the mind of Dahmer - the boy who decapitated a dog and nailed its head on a stake; the personal stories of the victims’ families; the riveting trial; why Dahmer wasn’t stopped sooner; his life sentence and his murder in prison. With exclusive access to the police, detectives, medical examiner, attorneys, psychiatrists, prosecutors, and judges involved, she reveals the complete, inside story of the case and what happened in its wake.

The reporter
I’m so sorry to have to write this. Ann E. Schwartz is a terrible narrator. Her inflection points are either nonexistent or completely absent. I am at chapter 9 and holding out hope that Joana herself will save it. She sounded good in the sample. I just would expect a writer to do better at reading out loud, but I am not a voice actor, neither is she. The story is good so far. Highly detailed. If you are put off by gore then this isn’t for you.

A Preponderance of Provincial Politics
Not great, a lot of the author telling you how much cleverer (better, more moral, etc) she is than others, with a way too much detail on conducting local journalism, and provincial politics between journals / news outlets / etc. Booooooooring.

Fascinating & Chilling
I have been fascinated by the life and crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer ever since the case broke in 1991, when I was sixteen years old.
This sensitive and non-sensationalist depiction provides a fascinating analysis of the impact Dahmer's crimes had on all those around him, be they family, neighbours, potential victims, the police, the justice system, the media, minority groups and the bereaved.
