Summary
In the fall of 1999, a 22-year-old woman was discovered naked and bleeding on the streets of a small New Mexico town south of Albuquerque. She was chained to a padlocked metal collar. The tale she told authorities - of being beaten, raped, and tortured with electric shock - was unthinkable. Until she led them to 59-year-old David Ray Parker, his 39-year-old fiancee Cindy Hendy, and the lakeside trailer they called their "toy box." What the FBI uncovered was unprecedented in the annals of serial crime: restraining devices, elaborate implements of torture, books on human anatomy, medical equipment, scalpels, and a gynecologist's examination table. But these horrors were only part of the shocking story that would unfold in a stunning trial...

Cries
Well what an evil swine of a man. Good to see him get his comeuppance in the end. Literally. Without spoiling for anyone wanting to listen. Would recommend.

A Great Overview of the Toybox Killer Case
The narration was very powerfully performed by Shaun Grindell. I was very curious about this book because I really enjoyed Lost Girls and Glatt’s writing is as muscular as ever.

The reader is dreadful
Couldn’t finish this because the narrator is awful. Incredibly bad dictation, why on earth was he selected?
