Summary

In March 1944, as the Nazis occupied Paris, the French Police and Fire Brigade were called to investigate a vile-smelling black smoke that had been pouring from the chimney of 21 Rue Le Sueur for days. Inside the house, they were confronted with a scene from a nightmare.

The thick black smoke was rising from a series of wood-burning stoves throughout the property that were stocked with human remains. In the basement, they discovered a furnace with larger body parts and a pit filled with quicklime and decay. There were suitcases full of the deceased’s belongings, and in the other rooms, they came upon something like a factory line of bodies. This was not mere murder - it was methodical processing of corpses.

The homeowner was Dr. Marcel Petiot, an admired and charismatic physician. When questioned, Dr. Petiot claimed that he was a part of the Resistance and the bodies they discovered belonged to Nazi collaborators that he killed for the cause. The French police, resentful of Nazi occupation and confused by a rational alternative, allowed him to leave.

Was the respected doctor a clandestine hero fighting for national liberty or a deviant using dire domestic circumstances to his advantage? One thing is for certain: The police and the Nazis both wanted to get their hands on Dr. Marcel Petiot to find out the truth.

Doctor Satan is a chilling account of Dr. Marcel Petiot and one of the most disturbing true crime stories in French history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listener into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.

CAUTION: This book contains descriptive accounts of torture, abuse, and violence. If you are especially sensitive to this material, it might be advisable not to listen any further.

Dark But Fascinating!

Fantastic and perfect how Ryan describes in detail, how someone like Doctor Satan could live and operate in such nasty times in Nazi occupied Paris let alone the idea of a serial killer “working” at the same time hadn’t even crossed my mind.

The narrator Steve does a fantastic job and is always a pleasure to listen to.

Top Marks to both Author and Narrator 👍

Very Good

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

I honestly have no words to describe Marcel Petiot, one of the most horrendous mass murderers in French history. Green did a very good job at holding my interest and included a lot of details about WWII in France to supplement the effects and reasons for what Petiot did. It was well written and held a steady pace.

Holy Crap

The most prolific mass murderer of France was actually a war hero and spy master of WWII that helped bring down Nazis. How does a sociopath from birth does one hell of a 180? A narcissist, rapist, murderer, embezzler, noted crimanly insane soldier by France, theif, reinlisted (under a fake identity), great doctor, spy master for the CIA, and WWI soldier hero. It's hard to believe it's a true story because it sounds like a fiction spy novel by Vincent Zandri. Wow is all their is to say.
