The Innocent Killer

A True Story of a Wrongful Conviction and Its Astonishing Aftermath

By: Michael Griesbach

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

In The Innocent Killer, Michael Griesbach tells the story of one of the nation's most notorious wrongful convictions, that of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who spent 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. But two years after he was exonerated of that crime and poised to reap millions in his wrongful conviction lawsuit, Steven Avery was arrested for the exceptionally brutal murder of Teresa Halbach, a freelance photographer who had gone missing several days earlier. The "innocent man" had turned into a cold-blooded killer. Or had he?

Critic reviews

"This book is a gripping read, spiraling readers from one emotion to another." ( Library Journal)

I innocent murderer

I have read both of his books and think they're outstanding now I know both Brendan and Steve are right where they belong

the details were amazing

the read was great the details and delivery were amazing definitely a must listen

Scum bag

That scum bag Avery should have never been let out.... He was always a monster.

great book

This book gives a very good storyline of all that has happened in all of the case history of Avery and many of the injustices done. It leaves the decision of this last case up to the reader after all case history is brought forward.

Interesting Plot, Could have been a little better

A very interesting case! Although the story itself along with all the pieces of the puzzle are intriguing the pace of the book is rather inconsistent making it at times a frustrating read. The author beats many cases to death while doesn't go into near enough detail for others. Still a good story if you have the time.
