Summary

This is no ordinary true-crime book. If you think you've got the stomach for the most blood-curdling, sickening, and downright strangest murders you will ever come across, then look no further than these pages. You have been warned....

Take, for example, Enriqueta Marti who kidnapped children from the streets of Barcelona, then boiled away their flesh and crushed their bones for ingredients for her coveted 'magic potions'.

Or take Randy Kraft, known as The Scorecard Killer, a computer genius by day and a deranged psychopath by night. Finally arrested with a corpse slumped in the passenger seat of his car, it emerged that Kraft had spent over a decade cutting up and disposing of his numerous victims along the California highways.

In this stomach-churning collection, all the stories have one thing in common - a unique bizarre twist. True-crime writer James Marrison draws upon the material that has featured in the hugely successful column "The Murder File" in cult magazine Bizarre in order to disclose the kind of sickening deeds that are perpetrated more often than you might think, but which sometimes go largely unreported by the media. Welcome to The World's Most Bizarre Murders - the most shocking true-crime book you will ever listen to.

Distracting Narrator and recording glitch

The narrator was very distracting, mispronouncing words with a odd and changing accent. Also around the end of chapter 10 the story jumps from one to another on what I assume is a recording error as reinstalling the book made no difference. Shame as the writing was good. I would buy it again with a better narrator

potentially good book, distracting narration

Narrator does his best to turn interesting into dull. Sounds like he's reading a list & often stumbles with his words.

Spoilt an interesting book

Who picked the narrator?!

Would you try another book written by James Marrison or narrated by Drew Campbell?

Written by the author, I may try another title. Read by the narrator, never!!! He mispronounced more words than he read correctly!!! He stressed all the wrong words in every sentence and didn't seem to have a clue what he was reading!! It made it so hard to listen to, never mind follow!!! Really amazed it wasn't edited more or better yet, get someone who can actually read to narrate!!!!!! Not impressed.

What could James Marrison have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Chosen a different narrator!! It made it very hard to review his writing with such awful narration.

What didn’t you like about Drew Campbell’s performance?

Everything!!! See above!!! He clearly didn't read the book before recording his narration, if he did, he needs help with his reading and speaking!!! Just awful and ruined a perfectly good book.
