About This Audiobook

Dive into the grimy underbelly of 1970s Houston with 'The Candy Man', a meticulously researched and gripping true crime account of Dean Corll's murder spree. Cochran's prose is as dark and foreboding as the story itself, painting a vivid picture of the city's seedy side and the chilling partnership between Corll, Henley, and Brooks. Russ Williams' narration is a standout, capturing the sinister undertones of the story with a steady, unnerving pace. He masterfully differentiates characters, making each voice distinct and haunting.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As a long-time true crime enthusiast, I found 'The Candy Man' to be a chilling and absorbing listen. Cochran's attention to detail is commendable, providing a comprehensive look into Corll's life and motivations without sensationalizing the crimes. Williams' narration is exceptional, his voice perfectly suited to the grim subject matter. However, I found the pacing to be a bit slow in places, with some repetitive details that could have been trimmed. Despite this, the audiobook is a must-listen for true crime fans, offering a unique perspective on one of America's most notorious serial killers.
