loved this book, Kevin pierce is a big part of the whole thing as far as the listening experience goes. He is brilliant. I'm now looking for more narration by him and glad to say that there are many more. Kevin keeps you right there in the story, I honestly couldn't stop listening to this audio book at every opportunity I had,suffice to say that I am quite sad that I have now finished the book. But I will say this about it, what a great story and what an excellent narration on Kevin pierces part I wholeheartedly recommend.

superb

But on the long side but overall I had no trouble hanging in for this fascinating if disturbing tale. The brilliant Kevin Pierce narrates: no one better at true crime.

Long but worth it: expertly narrated

I loved the reader , a very absorbing book I don’t generally read about rapists but found this annoying and intriguing at the same time , a long listen but worth it ! it always amazes me how manipulative people can be and how easily others are taken in !

Interesting characters

well narrated but I found it difficult to keep listening, not due to the content but the telling was long winded

Thought provoking and incredibly written with both grit and sensitivity. Really interesting and factual.

Thought provoking, so much detail.

As a victim & survivor of sexual abuse I found the respect shown to the victims in this book was beautiful. Being a victim the courts are not kind to those who speak out. It’s one of the most difficult crimes to prosecute and absolutely a crime where the victim becomes fair game and almost stands trial themselves.

Trigger Warning

I really enjoyed this book, the narrator Mr Pierce really brought the characters to life, their quirky & strange personalities were put across so well by him.
The story was absorbing, the twisted mind of a psychopath,his family & friends was truly horrifying, it made one realise it is nearly impossible to interact in a meaningful & honest way with such people. Their level of denial & justification at times filled me with disbelief. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Great Story Wonderful Narrator Brilliant

OK, it's a long one and I thought I might find it tedious after a while, but no, I was gripped. The narrator is exceptional, that voice. I especially loved his 'Ruth'. I found the descriptions of the attacks a tough listen. Fred Coe confirms my natural suspicion of 'charmers'.


Disturbing, but riveting.

If you could sum up Son in three words, what would they be?

Shocking, Lengthy, Interesting

What did you like best about this story?

The scrapbooky nature in which the story was told - I really liked that

What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His narration is really excellent, his accent and telling really draws you in and puts you right in Spokane.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was hard to turn it off, but it was really long and couldn't possibly be listened all the way through in one sitting!

Any additional comments?

its a great book, a shocking story, great narration

Shocking Story - but a bit long winded
