About this listen

In 1985, two 27-year-old friends left their suburban Detroit homes for a hunting trip in rural Michigan. When they did not return, their families and police suspected foul play. For 18 years, no one could prove a thing. Then, a relentless investigator got a witness to talk, and a horrifying story emerged.

In 2003, this bizarre case hit the glare of the criminal justice system, as prosecutors charged two brothers, Raymond and Donald Duvall, with murder. With no bodies ever found, the case hinged on the testimony of one terrified witness who saw a bloody scene unfold - and who was still nearly too frightened to talk.

Now, the truth behind an 18-year-old mystery is revealed against the backdrop of an unusual, electrifyingly dramatic trial. Raymond and Donald Duvall bragged to friends that they killed their victims, chopped up their bodies, and fed them to pigs. A Michigan jury soon had evidence of this brutally methodical execution - evidence that would lead a shocked courtroom through the heart of evil and beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Gripping...excellent

...having listened to hundreds of audible books, I can honestly say not only was this a gripping, well written book but the narrator couldn't have been better...thanks so much for the plus option.

Relentless

This went on and on and on…
It was heading to the grand finale when I nodded off to seep at 11pm on Saturday and at 8am on Sunday when I woke up it still wasn’t finished.
Then when I thought / hoped it was over, the story nipped off on a different / pointless tangent for another 45 minutes.
The first 3 days were interesting but I lost the will to live eventually.

Darker Than Night.

A fascinating and compelling story. These books are great to listen to for my criminology degree. The narrator was outstanding too.

Not your big standard crime book

One of the best true crime novels I've come across.
Tom Henderson vividly brings alive the lives of the victims.
There are some heroes in this story and some total scumbags.
This will .and you shudder, cry and laugh out loud at the absurdity of some people

Could have been half the length

It started well, It is an interesting story, but it was just strung out for too long. With 5 hours still to go I stopped caring what happened. I really couldn’t face listening to 5 more hours of recounting every conversation anyone had ever had that might have been about the murders. Or possibly not.
