About this listen

Christopher Wilder was about as bad as they get.

A predator and serial killer, he first came to the attention of police in Sydney when, as a teenager in 1963, he was charged with rape. A good behaviour bond was not a deterrent, and over the years his crimes escalated.

After moving to the USA in his early 20s, Wilder continued to perfect his vile and deadly trade. He was a chameleon with a modus operandi refined over the decades, luring young teenage girls with the promise of a career as a photographic model. His final depravity was a six-week spree of abduction, sexual assault and murder, crisscrossing the USA and putting him at number one on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.

Wilder's horrors are still being uncovered. He is now a prime suspect for the infamous 1965 Wanda Beach murders, one of Australia's most notorious unsolved crimes. The Snapshot Killer is a masterful and shocking account, by the best-selling author of Roger Rogerson, of how this monster was able to hide in plain sight. And how he was finally caught.

A very thorough Biography

This book has left me with very mixed feelings. It is thought provoking and clearly well researched and written. I am against the death penalty, but I was fuming with the atrocities this psycho committed and bitter there was no retribution for him.
Thanks to the Author for the knowledge he gave me on this serial killer as I will remember the victims names and that truly is the most important thing. Not the killer, but lives he tore apart.

Excellent

Probably one of the best true crime books I have listened to. He was a monster and a very sick person. I would have liked to have seen him on death row. So sad for the families who have never found their loved ones. So many beautiful girls snuffed out for no good reason. May they rest in peace eternally.

Get a new narrator!

Use a narrator that can actually do an American accent - better yet, get an American to read it! It was a real struggle to listen to this audiobook and I nearly gave up after the first chapter. Buy the hardcopy instead.

Brilliant book - even if you "know" the story

Fascinating true crime book. Half way through I was wondering how they would fill the last 5 hours as I thought most of the story had been covered in the first 5 hours but I was wrong - it was just beginning. Would recommend if you like your true crime audiobooks.
