Killing Women

The True Story of Serial Killer Don Miller’s Reign of Terror

De: Rod Sadler

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

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.”

Meh.

The story was interesting but the author's repetition and style brought it to simply boring.

Interesting

I found the story interesting. Was there some repetition? Yes, but it wasn't irritating.

Very interesting

I enjoyed the story and the narrator. This is a good book if you like a lot of detail.

Good hometown story

A bit repetitive/ but well written and narrated. The author captured the story in a way that recognized the victims and the victims families. It showed how Miller devastated and impacted so many people with his actions.

what a maddening criminal

great story. was flabbergasted at how stupid don miller must have thought everyone else was to suggest that (in the face of actual evidence) he “couldn’t remember” anything to suggest he committed the crimes he was accused of. maddening! great story

Way too long.

The story was hard to follow. I finally had to shut down the book a few hours from the end. It seemed like a relentless amount of details and hard to keep up with.

Gets very boring

I read/listen to a lot of of true crime. This book took me so long to finish because I was determined not to give up on it. The author wrote out all the details which I usually like, but it was so so boring. The beginning was good though.

This world is crazy

Miller was smart as far as books. He really tried to justify his killings but to no avail. It may have taken some time but they finally put him where he belonged.

eh unimpressed

this was disjointed to say the least. it definitely sounds like the author gathered public documents and typed them up together. there was VERY little story here. but what annoyed me was, the author would often repeat details multiple times even if it wasn't relevant. the narrator was flat and made an already dry book, more like the Sahara

interesting retelling of little known case

This book was very well written, with just enough detail and not too much (except maybe for a little bit at the end when the court cases and lawyer statements are described). Otherwise, there's just the right amount of detail on the lives of the people involved and what happens as a result of the crimes. I had never heard of this killer and that made it even more interesting. Will be looking for more books by this author.
