Inside the Mind of BTK

The True Story Behind the Thirty-Year Hunt for the Notorious Wichita Serial Killer

By: Johnny Dodd, John Douglas

Narrated by: Jason Klav

A dramatic and compelling true-crime psychological thriller

This incredible story shows how John Douglas tracked and participated in the hunt for one of the most notorious serial killers in US history. For 31 years a man who called himself BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) terrorized the city of Wichita, Kansas, sexually assaulting and strangling a series of women, taunting the police with frequent communications, and bragging about his crimes to local newspapers and TV stations. After disappearing for nine years, he suddenly reappeared, complaining that no one was paying enough attention to him and claiming that he had committed other crimes for which he had not been given credit. When he was ultimately captured, BTK was shockingly revealed to be Dennis Rader, a 61-year-old married man with two children.

“Quan-TEE-co”?!?!

I don’t know who they found to read this, but he needs a new day job. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed other books by John Douglas but found this drier- and the narrator is a hot mess. Pronouncing it “Quan-TEE- co” is absolutely absurd- and makes me think this wasn’t ever really checked or edited. He’s also monotonous and grating.

2 Thumbs Up

A great dive into the sick and perverted mind of BTK. I couldn't stop listening

narrator was awful

it was so hard to listen to this book given how terribly it was read. the number of mispronounced words and high schooler reading out loud vibe just too much

Terrible Narrator

Really unprofessional, multiple mispronunciations from the narrator. Would not recommend purchasing the audiobook, written version should be okay.

Interesting book but the narrator needs some help

Interesting book but the narrator mispronouncing words REALLY bothered me to the point I almost stopped.
