About this listen

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.

It turns out I want to know as little as possible about the horrific things people do to one another.
This is a well written, well researched book, and the performance is excellent.
I just don't want to know.

Too awful for me.

The way the narrator said the dates put me off straight away. That was the killer for me. I didn't like the whole format of the story telling and I didn't end up finishing the book. Felt like I was listening to it to just finish it then realised I didn't have to listen to the rest of I didn't want to.... so I moved onto my next book.

not a fan of how the dates we read

I have never heard gruesome details of murders outlined in such cheerful, chirpy tones. If you can get past the narration, there is some interesting information here for true crime buffs. I did not find much new material but it is a good collection of snapshots of interesting cases.

Good content but narration is out of alignment

Well written, great format.
Narration was a bit stilted, but a good listen.
Thanks

Good book

Don’t bother with this one. No insights into why these perpetrators do what they do. The vast majority of killers written to declined to comment to the author. Narrator was terrible for this genre. A tedious book that appeared to simply be about making money off the back of heinous crimes.

No insights and horrible narration
