Katherine Knight was a trip from the start of the book to the end. It’s rare to read about female serial killers, but Knight certainly had the mentality for it. For everything that she did, from the bar fights to killing her husband to attempting to kill her child, I was surprised that she didn’t spend much longer in a mental institute. It seemed as if she had a lot wrong with her brain, especially when it came to her anger and impulse control. The thought that she tried to feed kids their father is especially haunting.

More haunting to realize that there are other people like her who are out in the world somewhere. Absolutely chilling how cold some humans can be. Possibly even worse to consider the fact that Katherine felt as if her actions were justified. People get caught in the stigma that men are the perpetrators of domestic violence, but Katherine Knight was a shining example that women can be violent toward their partners too.

Narration was smooth and accompanied the material well as always.

There was a time in my life where I read a lot of true crime books. I haven't picked one up recently but something made me decide to give this book a try. I always find it interesting to learn a little more about individuals capable of committing terrible crimes. I just couldn't resist listening to the story of Katherine Knight who is a known killer. I found this book to be rather interesting.

The bulk of this audiobook looks at the time before Katherine actually killed her boyfriend. The book first takes a look at the life of Katherine's mother and then paints a picture of the home Katherine grew up in. The book then takes a look at Katherine's relationships and we see some of the violence she was capable of. It was kind of amazing how much she was able to get away with over the years. The actual murder is pretty much explained in the book's description so there weren't a lot of surprises to be found there.

I thought that Steve White did a fantastic job with the narration. I am sure that I enjoyed the book more than I would have if I had read a print copy due to his narration. He had a very pleasant voice and read the book at a very nice pace. I wouldn't hesitate to listen to his work again in the future.

I did find myself wondering about the author's sources. I would have liked to know where the information was coming from and if there was anything new that was learned about Katherine or her crimes. I think that the book would have been stronger if sources for the information would have been included since I found that I wondered how the author would have known some of the things included in the book.

I think that fans of true crime will enjoy this book. It was a quick look at a killer that I knew nothing about before picking up this book.

I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author/narrator via Audiobook Boom and have voluntarily left this review. ( )

Where to start! Catherine Knight may be the most evil woman serial killer I have ever read about. This lady obviously did not have a conscience. And she did not like it when she wouldn't get her way! This book covers the history of her mother all the way through Catherine's life. Nothing is spared in details, as I've come accustomed to with Ryan Greens books. If you want to read about a crazy woman in Australia terrorizing even the toughest men then give this book a read. ( )

I'm really disappointed in this one. I was curious about a female killer that ate her victim. It had me sucked in just on that point, but it didn't get to that story until 80% into the book! The entirety of the book is backstory, which don't get me wrong is important, but this was basically about her mother's treatment of her, her mistreatment of her husband's and then FINALLY the point where she kills her husband. And that part, was only a small chunk because the book ended at 95% by providing an excerpt to the author's next book. I kept reading waiting for the background info to end and it just kept going. Really disappointed. ( )
