A must read

The Twins in this wonderful story often say that the devil is in the details. The author has a lifetime of working with interesting cases like the twins and not only tells a story of their fascinating and unusual lives, but explains their behavior psychologically in an understandable and enjoyable way. The author nails the details, and thus sets the book apart.

Dave Cavanaugh again provides an excellent narration with his resonant voice. Highlights are his diva and Brooklyn Grifter’s voice. The detail in his performances grows in each book.

I highly recommend this listen, it is devilishly fun!
