It's OK.

Really good narration. Story is alright. Just like listening to a Mr. Ballen video on YouTube but longer. Get it if it's cheap.

Really good

Explains every aspect of ‘Nannie’s’ life and the potential reasons behind some of her crimes. Well narrated and thorough, although I wonder if some of the most intimate thoughts and moments came from Nannie or were artistic license, in which case I wonder about the other sides of the story from other perspectives. It is a difficult listen at times, especially when children are harmed but you can’t gloss over it, the crimes were cruel and heinous. It would be interesting to know how the head injury in Nannie’s early life affected her as I know other people who have committed crimes such as Fred West also suffered brain trauma in their early lives.

interesting and entertaining

I had not heard of this case before, stumbled across the book by accident.
Theres alot of coverage for the well known male serial killers, so when looking for something new to read in true crime, it was refreshing to come across this story.
Wow, what a cold and selfish woman she was.
Despite the rubbish childhood she had, I didn't feel any empathy for her, she was very calculated and I don't think her upbringing was a true motivation for her crimes.
The narrator was brilliant! not heavy going at all, he and the author made the story quite entertaining.
I would recommend this book

Chilling

I have mixed feelings about this book - not because of the writing or the narration, both were exceptional. However, there were moments I felt sorry for Nannie Doss. Her story felt real, which is always key for a story based on truth and facts, and Ryan does not shy away from the humanising facts about this lady, nor does he shy away from the chilling truths of her. Steve's narration really helps bring the story to life, a calming voice talking about this horror and what occurred.

I always deem it a good book when it leaves me thinking about the story told, and this certainly does that. I have given myself a few days to try and digest what I heard, and I'm still wondering how Nannie Doss got to that point, even though we were given more than enough information, The truth doesn't always leave us as satisfied as we expect when we think of people that kill.

Exactly how a true crime book should be

I have a guilty pleasure for true crime stories but to be perfectly honest I had never heard about this case until I came across this novel. From the offset it becomes highly apparent to just how much in depth research the author has carried out and the passion for giving the reader all of the information came across in abundance. I was shocked about the length of the book as it is quite short but yet I feel that I had learnt so much within such a short time . It is full of information about this vile and evil human being. Overall a very haunting and thought provoking case which is wonderfully written. i was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review

Very Good

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I really liked this audiobook. Sometimes, I do struggle with Ryan Green's style of writing, but this book tended to be more fact than emotion, and it read very well, obviously helped by the brilliant narration of Steve White. For the case itself, there isn't much to say that won't be more of a spoiler than the title of the book, but a reminder of the years that things were happening would have helped because it tended to jump a little, and I wouldn't be sure when it was, or what the rough age of the people involved were.

One of the best true crime books that I've read!

Thank you to Ryan Green for providing me with this audiobook free of charge in return for an honest review.

Nannie Doss is a serial killer that I’d never heard of before, but the meak and mild-looking woman on the cover really piqued my interest. After reading Green’s story to Nannie’s life and crimes, I think that she’s actually turned into one of the most interesting criminals that I’ve ever read about.

As always, Green tells Nannie’s story in a good tempo, starting from parental backgrounds and working up to Nannie’s early life and possible triggers that turned her to kill. Green’s books are so informative and interesting as if he has any opinions or bias about the people that he is writing about, it never shows. He is simply stating what he knows of the events and how it likely made people feel.

If I’d watched Nannie Doss’ story on the television or film, I would have believed it to be a completely fictional piece. It’s incredible how one woman can kill so many people close to her and be considered the victim. How she is not a more well-known serial killer is beyond me. She is absolutely fascinating.

I’ve mentioned before how much I love the way that Green writes his stories. When reading true crime, I often find myself drifting or struggling to envision what I’m being told, but Green really sets the scene and paints the perfect picture. This book was a lot shorter than some of his other works that I’ve listened to, but by no means is it less interesting or informative. In fact, I think it’s my favourite so far.

Narrator, Steve White also does a fabulous job, making a grim subject a very easy and enjoyable listen. I put this on while doing some mind-numbing tasks at work one day and couldn’t actually stop listening to it.

I’d 100% recommend this to any true crime fan.

Looking For Romance.

Another chilling tale this time in the form of someone wanting to live there life. Like the pages of a romance book. There were times were I felt sorry for this woman as she just wanted someone to love her and to be true . Then I remembered some of the stuff she had done. Another true crime book by this author I've enjoyed and with the narrator doing a good job telling the story.
