This book discusses serial killer, Dean Corll, and his two apprentices. One apprentice, in particular, is prominently discussed: Wayne Henley. Henley was just fourteen when he met Corll and began spending time with him. Henley was originally lured to Corll's house by his other accomplice with intentions of sexual assaulting him and possibly murdering him. Corll, however, was hesitant because of the involvement of Henley's mother...Henley would be missed. Corll groomed Henley to become another accomplice, who would lure boys, help bury bodies, and eventually murder them himself. Henley eventually wound-up murdering Corll. (No loss there.)

This book was on the reading list for CrimeCon 2024, which is why I purchased it. The Audible version was about 9ish hours to listen to. The hardcover version is about 340ish pages. I was very impressed with the attention to detail and the research that went into this book. I had learned about Dean Corll from a podcast, but I had not learned much about his two cohorts. I thought the psychology aspect of how Henley came to be involved and participate in these crimes was really thought provoking. I would definitely recommend this book if you are interested in serial killers.
