I Shot the Devil

By: Ruth McIver

Narrated by: Thomas Judd, Lorelei King

FIVE WENT INTO THE WOODS. TWO NEVER CAME BACK.

Erin Sloane was sixteen when high school senior Andre Villiers was murdered by his friends.

They were her friends, too, led by the intense, charismatic Ricky Hell. Five people went into West Cypress Woods the night Andre was murdered. Only three came out.

Ativan, alcohol, and distance had dimmed Erin’s memories of that time. But nearly twenty years later, an aging father will bring her home. Now a journalist, she is asked to write a story about the Southport Three and the thrill-kill murder that electrified the country. Erin’s investigation propels her closer and closer to a terrifying truth. And closer and closer to danger.

An unforgettable story of murder, trauma, and childhoods lost, I Shot the Devil is a taut, prize-winning debut novel from an electrifying new talent.

Slow but good.

It took a bit to get into it. However, the twisty turns and the complete web of crazy was a good listen.

No Real Direction to the Story

The narrator is great I love Lorelei King. What isn't great is the book. I kept thinking it could/would get better but finally had to give up and stop listening halfway through. It seems to go NOWHERE and just goes on and on with no purpose. Sorry but I have to be truthful. Will be marking it as finished even though I didn't make it to the end.
