On March 16, 1992, Elizabeth DeCaro, a 28 year-old mother of four, was found dead in her own home, murdered execution-style with two bullets to the head.

Publisher's summary
This is a New York Times best-selling true crime book considered by many to be a classic of the genre.
The police in Jersey County, Illinois, accepted Paula Sims' story of a masked kidnapper who snatched her baby girl, Lorelei, from her bassinet. Three years later, her second newborn daughter suffered an identical fate - and this time the police were unable to stop searching until they had discovered the whole horrifying truth. This is the full terrifying story of twisted sexuality and hate seething below the surface of a seemingly normal family and of the massive investigation and nerve-shattering trial that made the unthinkable a reality. Written by the lawyer who won the case and the reporter who covered its entirety, the listener is given a unique close-up of the riveting drama that unfolds, painting a dark picture of the depraved family who lived with a murderous secret.

Deputy District Attorney Samantha Kincaid walks into her office in Portland's Drug and Vice Division one morning to find the sergeant of the police bureau's vice unit waiting for her. A 13-year-old girl has been brutally attacked and left for dead on the city's outskirts. Given the lack of evidence, most lawyers would settle for an assault charge; Samantha, unnerved by the viciousness of the crime, decides to go for attempted murder.

Story
It’s a chilling reality that homicide investigators know all too well: The last face most murder victims see is not that of a stranger, but of someone familiar. Whether only an acquaintance or a trusted intimate, such killers share a common trait that triggers the downward spiral toward death for someone close to them: They are masters at hiding who they really are. Their clever masks let them appear safe, kind, and truthful. They are anything but - and almost no one can detect the murderous impulses buried deep in their psyches.

On a bitterly cold afternoon in December 1986, a Michigan State trooper found the frozen body of Jerry Tobias in the bed of his pickup truck. The 31-year-old oil field worker and small-time drug dealer was clad only in jeans, a checkered shirt, and cowboy boots. Inside the cab of the truck was a fresh package of expensive steaks from a local butcher shop, the first lead in a case that would be quickly lost in a thicket of bungled forensics, shady prosecution, and a psychopathic star witness out for revenge.

The guilty verdicts handed out to three Arkansas teens in a horrific capital murder case were popular in their home state - even upheld on appeal. But after two HBO documentaries called attention to the witch-hunt atmosphere at the trials, artists and other supporters raised concerns about the accompanying lack of evidence.

She was isolated from the rest of her family, locked in an attic with nothing but a bare bed and a bucket for a toilet, and fed just enough to be kept alive.

Thoroughly and grossing, a tad slanted, but I know that going in.
Since I don't think any True crime novel could avoid any sort of a slant, I'm not holding it against this book especially given that the prosecuting attorney is the author. That said, the slant is very subtle virtually unnoticeable except in tone in a few spots. For me it played out as thorough examination of a crime, it's investigation and the trial process giving ample insight into the personalities involved. Extra kudos for being detailed without being overly technical or boring and without being overly gruesome in description. Narration is top notch, pitch perfect. Would recommend.

Incredibly Shocking and primal
What did you love best about Precious Victims?
The historical and social information as it pertains to offender (s) in this crime. The detail and meticulous work that went into this project was outstanding.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Precious Victims?
There were so many that I can't choose just one, I would lean towards her confession post conviction. Even then, this offender still couldn't tell the truth.
Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?
The prosecuting attorney was "all in" and supported the law enforcement members with the respect and admiration they deserves.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
In the end when both the surviving son and father will killed in an unexpected freak accident.
Any additional comments?
This book had me at the opening chapter, I still can't wrap my mind around the atrocious crime. Well written and beautifully narrated by my favorite "Kevin Pierce"

Far too long...
This book seemed to focus mostly on the prosecution lawyer and the court case. I felt there were also far too many details given about people that really had little to do with the actual story. It was very long and actually, fairly boring. Those interested in law and court cases may find it interesting, I suppose.

Engrossing Story
Would you listen to Precious Victims again? Why?
Yes, I found it to be very well-written.
What other book might you compare Precious Victims to and why?
Small Sacrifices - Paula Sims and Diane Downs are two peas from the same pod. While their personalities are different, they both decided life would be easier without their children.
Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I actually listened to this book because it was narrated by Kevin Pierce. I liked the other one he did so much (a Jack Olsen story) I picked this book on that fact alone.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, at the end when Paula came clean.
Any additional comments?
Give this a try. If you love true crime then this won't disappoint.

Oh my Gosh! I never had heard of this story. It is so evil. If you have never heard of this story listen to the book before Googling too much about it. The ending is terrifying! In addition, the husband was never convicted but how could he not have been involved? Seriously! The real life ending to it all is even more tragic. Great book. Wish it were fictional!
