Publisher's summary

What begins as a chance encounter on a Southern California beach in the early 1980s between Jay Roberts, then a young Marine, and a charismatic traveler soon leads to a life-changing afternoon in a mysterious hotel room where a surprise homoerotic proposition makes apparent that things are not all that they seem - a fact then further complicated by Roberts' discovering, multiple decades later, that the man with whom he shared this strange and important afternoon so long ago was none other than one of the most prolific murderers in American history: the "Scorecard Killer," Randy Kraft. Forced to come to grips with his understanding of the past - and its implications for the present - Roberts deftly moves between "then" and "now," ignorance and understanding, in honest, confessional prose that places the reader front and center for a true story that, indeed, is far stranger than fiction. Obsessive in nature and elliptical in structure, Roberts' story ultimately inhabits the liminal space between truth and appearances, love and danger, the hunter and the hunted. One part Hannibal, two parts Catfish, My Evening with the Scorecard Killer is an explosive cocktail of secrecy, seduction, and serial killers that begs the question, "How well can we know anyone - even ourselves - really?"

Reading was too fast

The performance reading of this book was at a high pace, hard to keep up with and made me anxious just trying to listen to it

Very interesting and well written

Definitely worth the listen. The author’s perspectives and insights provided a different view on this case. I felt the author expressed his vulnerabilities with candor I’m sure this wasn’t an easy story for him to share.

Melodramatic in approach

Just a bit too boastful and self-glorifying for my taste. While I don’t doubt it was a sobering moment to realize escaping the intended outcome, it seemed a bit too “oh, the drama” to be totally enjoyable.

He really loves himself

Would have been a decent read if not for the total infatuation he has with his own self. Very strange.

TRASH

Excuse me sir? SIR? Nobody asked you for this. But kudos to you for whatever black magic you worked in order to get this flaming dumpster fire of homophobic delusion published.

The worst.

I couldn't make it more than 10 minutes. The way he is reading the story drives me insane. I tried twice.

This isn’t the story you’re looking for…

I’m a try crime buff, that’s why I selected this audio.
This is a story about a troubled, lonely man who developed an infatuation with another man, a serial killer, in an afternoon. This man appears haunted by his affection for another man and vehemently states he is not homosexual. This isn’t about a serial killer- it’s about a man struggling with himself. The narration was awful as was the writing. I sincerely hope he gets therapy.

What a disappointment



Where do I start. A "hardened 4th year marine sniper" that can be so naive/stupid? Using a narrator that sounds incredibly gay himself...? Bad choice. And how many times can you use the words "gay sex" in 30 minutes? A wonderful, tender afternoon with RANDY KRAFT? I am sorry, this marine is a totally unbelievable and weak character. What questions can he have after 30 years? He fell for Kraft, like many others. And did he actually say "love story", even after knowing how Kraft operated??

Extremely Repetitive

It seems as if the author feels " dirty " or ashamed although denying this or just cannot come to grips and has to keep saying the same thing .
