Summary

Will a serial killer soon walk the streets again?

Don Miller was quiet and reserved. As a former youth pastor, he seemed a devout Christian. No one would have ever suspected that the recent graduate of the Michigan State University School of Criminal Justice was a serial killer.

However, when Miller was arrested for the attempted murder of two teenagers in 1978, police quickly realized he was probably responsible for the disappearances of four women. Offered a still-controversial plea bargain, he led police to the bodies of the missing women.

Now, after 40 years in prison, Miller has served his time and is due to be released into an unsuspecting population. In Killing Women, author Rod Sadler examines the crimes, the “justice” meted out, and the impending freedom of a man nationally renowned psychiatrist Dr. Frank Ochberg described as “a member of a small, deadly, dangerous population: murderers who stalk, capture, torture, and kill; murderers who derive sexual and narcissistic gratification from their predation; murderers who maintain a ‘mask of sanity’ appearing normal and harmless.”

Interesting actual story, but telling is so-so

The actual story of what happened in this case is very interesting. However, from where the trial starts, it sounds almost a bit like court reporting or a transcript. I kept going until the end because I was invested in the outcome by then, but the description of the times in court are a bit boring.

Interesting True Crime

This was a fascinating study into the crimes and how he was caught and sentenced.
I did struggle with the narrator (once I recognised the voice I was like oh no, not him), there is nochange for different people's speech or proper changes in tone, so canbe boring to listen to and can mentally drift so only really doing single chapters at a time

Good story but too detailed

The story was interesting and the narrator really takes you right into the story but was far too detailed in some parts where court hearings were being described.

Fascinating but too long

Interesting story of a not so well known killer but it just goes on too long.

I thought the book was very good

I enjoyed this book. I found the courtroom arguments as interesting as the police detective work.

I found the sentence he received quite troubling - expecting it to be much more severe. Perhaps it says something about the times when the crimes, trial and sentence all occurred.

Shockingly Intense

I possess what I like to term a die hard, true crime interest (to call myself a 'fan' feels too macabre to me), yet I had never heard of Don Miller before (that i can think of).

This retelling is gritty, unhinged and outright disturbing. The story itself is shocking, and i really appreciated the opportunity to delve into a case in gruesome detail, something you usually don't have time for in compilations. It really gave.me an opportunity to get stuck into the details, whilst doing the victims and their families, even Miller's no disservice in the way the case is written.

This is well worth the read if you really are interested in True Crime.

The evil just oozes from the words

This very Frank book is very stomach churning. I can't think of a worse crime that these murders describe. The book is very well written, with a full account, and is very well narrated. Well worth listening to.

A little too much

The story behind this book is fascinating but I found the amount of detail a little too much. Still I would recommend the book, it was well read.
