Summary
The Truro Murders presents the shocking true story of Christopher Worrell and his accomplice, James Miller. The events in this audiobook unveil one of the worst serial killing sprees in Australian history. Over the course of two months 1976-1977, seven young women were brutally raped and murdered.
Worrell and Miller met in prison and upon release developed a dominant and submissive relationship that centered around feeding Worrell's sadistic urges towards women. Miller would deny any involvement in the murders, claiming his love for Worrell was the basis for his cooperation and silence.
In the space of 12 months between 1978 and 1979, remains of two of the victims were found within one kilometer of one another. Police linked the two bodies with another five young females reported missing in the area. The police uncovered two more skeletons within the Truro region and now faced the difficult task of piecing together the evidence and finding the countries biggest serial killers.
The Truro Murders portrays the sex-fueled killing spree from the perspective of James Miller, the accomplice. Contained within this shocking true crime story are love, loss, manipulation, and extreme violence. If you are especially sensitive to accounts of suffering young females, it might be advisable not to listen to this audiobook. If, however, you seek to understand the darker side of human nature by coming face to face with it, then The Truro Murders is for you.

Really interesting
I wanted to try something different and this popped up. When I was growing up I was aware of this crime and the others in Adelaide (living in Adelaide) but too young to know exactly what happened. So it was fascinating to learn more about it - yes I get that it would have been very difficult for James to grow up being who he was in Adelaide at the time. All very interesting.
The only jarring thing was the pronunciation of South Australian place names including the prison.
If this is an indication of the research that this author has undertaken I will definitely be looking for more.

Evil luck !
Out of all of Greens books this one is the hardest for me to review.
The author Ryan Green have an amazing talent researching, filling in the gaps and turning all the facts into a story which anyone can understand.
This is the first time that I actually felt for one of the characters:
I thought about Australia in the 70th, a small town how unlucky a person like James had to be to be born gay, not in the 70th and not in Australia which was late to develop and move forward like most of the rest of the world.
I feel that circumstances gave James no chance especially after meeting Chris who knew how to manipulate, find the weaknesses in people and abuse that power so perfectly that James truly had no hope.
I actually think that this is not a bad true story at all, that people can learn from it, how evil will use anything to get its deeds done, just like it uses the internet today.
Steve White is an excellent narrator and a perfect choice for this book.
I do recommend this audiobook and the rest of Greens audiobooks, people need to know about the monsters out there, not pretend that they don’t exist or think that horrible things happen to others not to them till it’s to late.
Received this audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review.

A great well researched read . powerful
My guilty pleasure is reading true crime books and watching documentaries, but before this book I can honestly say I had never heard about the Truro murders . I love that the book was short, but to me it was just the right length with great bite size chapters. From the offset you could tell how much research had gone into creating this novel. The accent of the narrator drew me in from the start . It is fascinating to learn about the psychological way in which one person can gain so much control and power over another. I was given this book by the narrator/author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Ryan Green is wonderful
Ryan and Steve are definitely onto a winner as a pair, they work so well together and constantly blow me away with their books. Ryan consistently brings in so much information into his tales and Steve does an amazing narration job. I connot recommend these two to crime fans enough.

Terrible
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
DNF at 34%.
This book was terrible. It feels like the author read the accomplice's confession and fabricated a novel, guessing at what he thought or felt. It honestly felt like a badly done YA novel rather than a true crime book. It wasn't engaging, it wasn't entertaining and it felt whiny and boring.
