About this listen
In 1988, detectives from the Sacramento Police Department were called to investigate the disappearance of a man at his last known address - a boarding house for the elderly, homeless, and mentally ill. The owner, Dorothea Puente, was an adorable old lady who cared for stray cats and the rest of society’s castaways. She had a strong standing in the community and was celebrated for her selfless charitable work.
The search revealed nothing untoward but one of the guests recalled some unusual incidents leading up to the disappearance. He shared stories about holes being dug in the garden and filled in overnight. Guests who were taken ill and vanished overnight and a number of excuses why they couldn’t be contacted. This was enough to launch a thorough investigation and on November 11, 1988, the Sacramento police department headed back to the boarding house with shovels in hand.
Were they wasting their time pursuing a charming and charitable old lady or were they closing in on a clandestine killer who exploited the most vulnerable members of society? The investigation gripped the entire nation and the answers lay buried beneath the boarding house.
Ryan Green presents a dramatic and chilling account of one of the most bizarre true crime stories in American history. Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
Warning: This book contains descriptive accounts of abuse and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen to it.

Green very well describes how she became such a monster and you eagerly await the goriness that you know is coming but you learn so much about her on the journey that you wouldn't have expected to.
This is very well written and White narrates it beautifully. A must listen for true crime fans.
Very well documented

We once more get a good insight into the development of the subject's crimes as she moves from individual crimes to a business model, akin to some of the baby factory ones but with a different target market.
Again, Green doesn't look to justify any of the crimes, but does show some understanding of the events and personality traits that lead to her horrific deeds.
More of Green's excellent work

A really good narrator who reads the words, exactly as Ryan Green would want them to be read. He leads you through the labyrinth of the many pathways and decisions made by the serial killer to her final demise.
A complete biography of a killer.
