Depraved

A True Story of Sadistic Muder in the Heartland

By: John Glatt

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

John Edward Robinson was a 56-year-old grandfather from rural Kansas. An entrepreneur and Eagle Scout, he was even honored as "Man of the Year" at a Kansas City charity. To some of the women he met on the internet, he was known as Slavemaster - a sexual deviate with a taste for sadomasochistic rituals of extreme domination and torture...even killing.

Masquerading as a philanthropist, he promised women money and adventure. For 15 years, he trawled the web, snaring unsuspecting women. They were never seen again. But in the summer of 2000, the decomposed remains of two women were discovered in barrels on Robinson's farm, and three other bodies were found in storage units. Yet the depths of Robinson's bloodlust didn't end there. For authorities, the unspeakable criminal trail of Slavemaster was just beginning....

Depraved is a true story of sadistic murder in the Heartland, told by true-crime master John Glatt.

English accent

I grew up in this area and having a British dude read the book was a CHOICE.

How long he got away with it

A bit dry, the gullibility of the women , almost too hard to believe, and the family not suspecting

Always Love Glatt - Always a Horrible Narrator

Glatt has a trusted, golden approach to executing raw, macabre facts into a wonderfully woven story. I will never understand why he mars and diminishes his beautiful talent by using the same disinterested, emotionless ogre as his narrator.

true story, it really tells the story

love the narrator. he is very good. I've listen to other books that he has narrated and always enjoyed.

Great book

this book gets really good after getting past his childhood, which is interesting to a point. but the rest of the book is totally engaging and hard to put down.
