Summary
David loved Cindy and was loved in return. Or so he thought. The troubled young man clung to his new love and dreamed of their future together. So begins the chain of events that was to evolve into a horror of terrifying proportions. Jack Olsen, best-selling author of Son, now reveals the details of a true-life romance gone hideously awry.
After weeks of planning, the young misfits from two fine old Texas families donned grotesque battle gear and crept into the luxurious home where Cindy Ray's parents lay asleep with her two small sons. In the hot muggy room, the "cold kill" was over in seconds.
Everyone who knew the unpredictable Cindy suspected that she was involved, but the ghastly crime had been so carefully orchestrated that Houston's top homicide detectives could get nowhere. Cindy wore black and sobbed at the funeral, then began a frenzied attempt to collect her inheritance and as many of her wealthy parents possessions as she could haul away. No one except David West was surprised when she walked out on him.
Then the story took another bizarre turn. In a final bid to solve the case, a seductive young private investigator was assigned to cozy up to West. Soon the gullible killer was in love, once again with fateful consequences.
Traditionally, true-crime drama illuminates the sinister motivations in the human psyche. Yet Cold Kill reveals something still more frightful - unspeakable murders are committed, not out of greed, revenge, or blind demented rage, but out of a troubled young man's tragically misconceived code of honor and a desperate need to please and protect the woman of his dreams.
Jack Olsen's Cold Kill is a stunning testament to the profoundly discerning eye of a grand master of true crime. To listen to Cold Kill is not to forgive David West. It is, however, to undergo the uncanny experience of feeling oneself slowly but surely moving into the shoes of a pathological killer.

Too many “f” words
This true story was good, but marred by the ‘f’ word, which actually detracts from the narrative.

Jack Olsen UnputDownable again!
This is the fifth Jack Olsen True Crime book I've listened to on audible. Superbly narrated by Kevin Pierce and once again it was unputdownable (my word). The more you listen to Kevin Pierce narrating the great Jack Olsen the further you get drawn into Jack's great crime writing. I listened to this book on every possible occasion, on the treadmill, in the car, in the bathroom - wherever I could. Olsen and Pierce are the best pairing in the audible galaxy and Jack writes a riveting story in the earthy language murderers would use.
Time to move on to book number six!

Uninteresting main characters
Extremely repetitive about Cyndi and David’s qualities and personalities. Very little about the victims. No satisfying conclusion.
