UNHOLY MESSENGER The Life and Crimes of the BTK Serial Killer

When Dennis Rader was finally caught in 2005, he was so relieved to be able to reveal his secret life that he confessed for 32 hours nonstop. Rader, a Scout leader, faithful churchgoer, husband, and father was also BTK, the sadistic killer who terrorized Wichita, Kansas, for thirty years. Drawing from over 300 pages of Rader's testimony, as well as interviews with co-workers, neighbors, and the pastor of the Rader's congregation, journalist Stephen Singular objectively presents the many faces of the monster-next-door. Alan Sklar's narration makes this macabre true-crime a standout. His storytelling is dignified. His gentle, comforting tones make hearing even the most lurid details almost bearable. Sklar's understated, intelligent presentation makes for compelling listening. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
