Raised by a Serial Killer
Raised by a Serial Killer: Discovering the Truth About My Father | April Balascio
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The untold story behind the hit true crime podcast The Clearing, this unforgettable memoir traces one daughters moving quest to understand her larger-than-life childhood as she searches for the truth about her father, the serial killer Edward Wayne Edwards. One evening in 2009, April Balascio was searching online, as she had been every night, for unsolved murders in the towns her family had lived growing up, when she stumbled across the latest investigations into the Sweetheart Murders cold case. All at once, the buried memories of her fathers dark history were awakened, and she knew she had to take action. She picked up the phone to call a detective and the rest is infamous true crime history. In her unflinching memoir, Balascio bravely reveals an astonishing tale of a lifetime of manipulation, unexplained upheavals, and silent fear. Some part of her had always known what her father was capable of, but the full truth of how she came to these revelations is as riveting as it is quietly terrifying. Through searing storytelling, dedicated research, and intimate insight, Raised by a Serial Killer is a gripping, courageous memoir unlike any other.

Stopped by the library to stock up on some vacation reads. Do I have stacks and stacks of books I have bought at sales that I need to read? Yes. But I have heard really good stuff about James so I went to grab that and ended up with these others. JCO is usually pretty hit or miss for me, so chance I might not finish that one. I loved Monte Cristo and wanted to try Musketeers. Starting with serial killer book.

Texreader I bought Three Musketeers for the same reason! But still have to read it. And James is really good. Enjoy!! 23h
perfectsinner I was upset to find my version of Monte Cristo was abridged, but I saw they have the unabridged version @ the library. I am not sure I'll get to Musketeers because I have to read the new releases first, since there's a limited checkout time & non-renewable. But I can go back & recheck out Musketeers and maybe Monte Cristo another time 😀 22h

•Despite being a tad long-winded, this was still so riveting. Although, the abuse this girl and her siblings endured was difficult to listen to at times.
•As for the narration, you have to give her credit for telling her own story, and she wasn‘t so bad that I wanted to quit listening or anything that extreme.
