A Must-Listen for True Crime Fans

As someone who’s devoured many true crime audiobooks, this one stands out. It’s not just about the crime, but the years of psychological torment that led to it. The writing is sharp, the narrative structure compelling, and the narration engaging. Five stars.

Injustice Hidden in Plain Sight

It’s horrifying how long this abuse went unnoticed. The audiobook shines a light on the flaws in our medical and social systems. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but it’s also a call to awareness. A deeply moving true crime story.

Quietly Devastating

It’s not loud or flashy, but that makes it all the more effective. The audiobook builds a slow, steady horror as you realize just how much Gypsy suffered. Foxwell’s narration is subtle, never overshadowing the content. Brilliantly done.

Chilling in Every Way

The emotional manipulation in this story is scarier than most horror novels. Dee Dee’s control over Gypsy was absolute. K. Connors unpacks it all with nuance, and Foxwell's narration brings just the right amount of weight. Terrifying and important.

Captivating and Horrifying

From start to finish, I was hooked. The book reads like a thriller but is sadly all too real. It made me feel deeply for Gypsy while also questioning how society overlooks the signs of abuse. A powerful piece of storytelling.

This isn’t a sensational story—it’s a thoughtful examination of trauma and desperation. I appreciated the empathy the author brings to Gypsy’s situation. It’s not about blame; it’s about understanding.

Deeply Psychological and Intense

This audiobook goes beyond the crime to explore the psyche behind it. That made it more impactful than other accounts I’ve read. The author clearly did their research, and the narration matched the tone perfectly.
