The Truro Murders

By: Ryan Green

Narrated by: Steve White

The Truro Murders presents the shocking true story of Christopher Worrell and his accomplice, James Miller. The events in this audiobook unveil one of the worst serial killing sprees in Australian history. Over the course of two months 1976-1977, seven young women were brutally raped and murdered.

Worrell and Miller met in prison and upon release developed a dominant and submissive relationship that centered around feeding Worrell's sadistic urges towards women. Miller would deny any involvement in the murders, claiming his love for Worrell was the basis for his cooperation and silence.

In the space of 12 months between 1978 and 1979, remains of two of the victims were found within one kilometer of one another. Police linked the two bodies with another five young females reported missing in the area. The police uncovered two more skeletons within the Truro region and now faced the difficult task of piecing together the evidence and finding the countries biggest serial killers.

The Truro Murders portrays the sex-fueled killing spree from the perspective of James Miller, the accomplice. Contained within this shocking true crime story are love, loss, manipulation, and extreme violence. If you are especially sensitive to accounts of suffering young females, it might be advisable not to listen to this audiobook. If, however, you seek to understand the darker side of human nature by coming face to face with it, then The Truro Murders is for you.

Slow start, but interesting story

Knowing this was a true crime book made the story more interesting. If this was a work of fiction, I would have rated it lower because of the lack of action. It was slow to start, but I understand that it was important to really develop the main characters so that we could understand James' POV.
The narrator's voice reminded me of a southern preacher, which seemed an odd fit for an Australian crime book. But he did a good job with narration.

Insight into the minds of madmen

At my request, I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

True Crime is my thing, so when I came across this title I couldn't wait to read it. I've always found it interesting; the mind of a killer. This book really delves deep in the details. I also really enjoyed the narrator. I'm picky when it comes to narration, but this was good. Very well done. You can really feel the emotion. As I listened, I could picture it all clearly, as if I were riding up front alongside James, watching it all go down in the backseat.
I think people, especially women, need to read more books like this to raise awareness of all the very real possibilities. People really are crazy, just read this book to clear up any doubts. I loved it and highly recommend it!

The crazy things we do for what we consider love.

It always amazes me the things we consider OK as long as we are excepted and feel like I needs arebeing met. In this book one man’s love for another man drives him to help his lover become a serial killer. There is an anything he won’t do for his lover and that includes serving his time. This is a great book Ryan Green really fun‘s great stories to tell and I enjoy them all. And of course Stephen White did a marvelous job I love him exclamation

Fascinating Story

Fascinating to me that someone would get and stay involved with a person who did these horrible crimes!

Gripping from beginning to end

I received this audiobook free at my request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Let me start off by saying that I have read a lot of books and listened to a lot of audiobooks, and The Truro Murders by Ryan Green has one of the best openings of any book that I have ever read in any genre. I knew right then that if the rest of the book was anything like that opening, I wouldn’t be able to stop listening. Thankfully, it was.

I wasn’t familiar with this case, or Christopher Worrell and James Miller prior to listening, but Green’s book has certainly made me want to research it more. I think that The Truro Murders should definitely be a must read/listen for any true crime junkie.

Kudos also to Steve White for his wonderful narration of this book. My only complaint was that this ended too quickly!
