Great True Cime

Would you consider the audio edition of Predator to be better than the print version?

I enjoy audio better than written and Kevin Pierce does a great job narrating.

What did you like best about this story?

That it is a true example of the mistakes that can happen in our justice system, I think everyone who sits on a jury should have to read this book. I felt sickened, saddened and downright angry reading this. Thank you Mr Olsen for writing this book !!

Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Murder of a Mafia Daughter. He did a great with both. His voice is perfect for true crime.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Everything that Steve had to endure. It is scary how flawed and unjust our system can be. How do you give back all that was taken from someone unfairly?

Any additional comments?

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

good book

A good interesting book and Kevin Pierce is always great. it's amazing how long some criminals get away with their crimes.

I cried when Steve Titus died..

Loved this book, excellent narration. Heart pounding throughout the chapters. It was better than watching a movie

Very sad story. Kept in my head for weeks after.

Best true crime I've read. Really well researched. Each character comes to life. If you like character studies, you will like this book.

Another great Jack Olsen true crime!

Any additional comments?

I've read a number of Jack Olsen's true crime stories and once again was blown away by his attention to detail and his ability to capture the depth and complexity of his characters. Predator is another true crime that is hard to imagine that it happened and for so long. I, like other reviewers felt compassion for Mac early on due to his upbringing (despite the first chapter), but was quickly yanked into the reality of the real Mac. The story of Steve and his incomprehensible injustice and ultimate tragedy was unimaginable. As the reader (listener) we knew what Steve didn't know which made it much more painful. Kevin Pierce is stellar! I've listened to many of his narrations and he nails it every time. Especially in the true crime genre. Good listen for my daily commute.

Great book!

Absolutely loved it! Perfectly read as usual by Kevin. I feel so bad for ALL the victims touched by this monster.

Great read, sad story

If you could sum up Predator in three words, what would they be?

This is a disturbing tale of a sick sick man. This man happens to be my second cousin and this is how I had to read about it because no one in our family talks about it.

Gripping!

I just couldn't wait to hear "what's next". I would call it 'grippingly disturbing'.

Jack Olsen is one of the best True Crime writers around. Not only will this book keep you on the edge of your seat, but it will also enrage you at the injustice put up by people. Predator is one of the best True Crime audiobook.

Another Jack Olsen/Kevin Pierce winning book... 5+

Jack Olsen's, writing is unlike I think any other. He doesn't just write, words, it's like you are there and know these folks. Kevin Pierce, is EXCELLENT ! As somebody else wrote it is like you are sitting on your front porch as he tells u the story. I don't want to give anything away for others, but there was unexpected twists, I absolutely did not see coming. Very disturbing ! but any true crime buff will love the book 5 + stars from me.
