Summary
"It was a scene from the worst nightmare you've ever had, I don't think any of us was prepared for what we saw." (Snowtown officer)
On 20 May 1999, the South Australian Police were called to investigate a disused bank in the unassuming town of Snowtown, in connection to the disappearance of multiple missing people. The police were not prepared for the chilling scene that awaited them.
The officers found six barrels within the abandoned bank vault, each filled with acid and the remains of eight individuals. The smell from inside the vault was so stifling that the police required breathing equipment. Accompanying the bodies were numerous everyday tools that pathologists would later confirm were used for prolonged torture, murder, and cannibalism.
The findings shocked Australia to its core, which deepened still when it was revealed that the torture and murders were committed by not one, but a group of killers. The four men, led by John Bunting, targeted pedophiles, homosexuals, addicts, or the "weak" in an attempt to cleanse society.
No Place for the Weak is a chilling account of the "Snowtown Murders" (a.k.a "Bodies in Barrels Murders"), and one of the most disturbing true-crime stories in Australia’s history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the listeners into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.
Caution: This audiobook 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.

This is meant to terrify you and it will
This is the story of John Bunting. A serial killer who murdered several people in Adelaide, South Australia, in the 1990s. The book describes Bunting's childhood, how he moved from Queensland to Adelaide and how he started torturing and murdering people, how the authorities caught up with him and the trial.
The details are very explicit and soundly told painting a truly terrifying picture. This is true crime at its best, it's a thrilling story, written and narrated perfectly to show that.

Not for the faint hearted.
Gruesome and specific. This biography of the life and crimes of John Bunting has been well written. From his birth to imprisonment it gives an insight into this mans life, the people who he came into contact with and how those contacts shaped his thinking or actions.
Ryan Green has produced another book that if your interested in true crime then you should add this too your collection.
